Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden showed compassion that 'meant the world' to George Floyd's family on Monday, according to a lawyer for relatives of the unarmed black man who died in police custody.

Biden met with Floyd’s relatives in Houston for more than an hour, said lawyer Benjamin Crump, who posted a picture of himself on Twitter after the meeting with Biden, Floyd’s uncle Roger, civil rights activist Reverend Al Sharpton and Representative Cedric Richmond. Floyd died on May 25 after a white Minneapolis police officer kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes.

Biden, who first spoke with the family by telephone more than a week ago, has called for policies to address “systemic racism” in law enforcement. He also accused his Nov. 3 election opponent, President Donald Trump, of stoking division in response to massive street demonstrations that spread across the United States and around the world.

Hey, Trump shows compassion too! For neo-nazis, white supremacists, and other MAGAts.

Why is compassion is quotes? Makes no sense.

It's reassuring to see that, to become a top level politician in America, you don't have to be a COMPLETE prick.

AmoneyResists Compassion and empathy are two emotions that Trump has never experienced. We need both in our next president. Vote as if your life depends on it, because it does. VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare VoteBlueToSaveAmerica2020
