Biden Says He Is ‘Praying’ for the ‘Right Verdict’ in Chauvin Trial
President Joe Biden says he is praying for the “right verdict” in the murder trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
Chauvin is facing manslaughter and murder charges in the death of George Floyd last May. He pleaded not guilty.
Speaking to reporters at the White House on Tuesday, Biden said, “I can only imagine the pressure and anxiety they’re feeling.”
He went on to say he talked to Floyd’s family on Monday and noted that they are “calling for peace and tranquility no matter what that verdict is.”
“I’m praying the verdict is the right verdict, which I think it’s overwhelming, in my view. I wouldn’t say that unless the jury was sequestered,” he added.

Biden’s comments come as the jurors’ deliberations continued into a second day and after Hennepin County District Judge Peter Cahill criticized elected officials who were speaking out about the case.
“I wish elected officials would stop talking about this case, especially in a manner that is disrespectful to the rule of law and to the judicial branch and our function,” Cahill said, adding, “If they want to give their opinions, they should do so in a manner that is consistent with their oath to the Constitution, to respect the co-equal branch of government. Their failure to do so, I think, is abhorrent.”
Cahill’s comments come after Chauvin’s defense attorney Eric Nelson asked for a mistrial because of controversial remarks by Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), who said protesters should “get more confrontational” if Chauvin is acquitted.
Cahill denied the request for a mistrial, as he said, “A congresswoman’s opinion really doesn’t matter a whole lot.”
“I will give you that Congresswoman Waters may have given you something on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned,” he added.
I’m praying for something to Biden. That this election results are straightened and trump is declared the winner and they throw your fraudulent a€£ out and install the real president and everyone involved with this fraud is given a seat in old sparky and fried in public so the public can see what happens to people that interfere with elections !!!!
Biden has no clue what his ideotic statement has done to law enforcement
Just like Maxine Waters. With all this bias coverage, the Democrats are setting up the trial for a miscarriage or a real good appeals claim. Idiots.
I hope to hell this is appealed and granted ! To allow these people to railroad this man (police officer) I hope you see the police officers quit by the dozens
Actually Cherie, Joe and the Dems are hoping to recover those minorities who c
Minorities who voted for Trump
All while he prays that abortions continue.
These idiotic politicans just can’t help themselves. They are handing the Defense an automatic appeal and retrial if convicted.
Waters should be charged.
I wonder what Joe thinks is the “right decision “?
like the election result?
It’s in the jury’s hands…let our justice system work without the input of Biden and Mad Auntie Maxine. That’s how things work but sure the Dems want to rewrite the process. Censure that old bag Waters…for a start.
Too late. The jurors have been threatened. That should fall right on Waters.
I pray Joe doesn’t do too much damage
He’s already screwed the pooch !!!!!
Are you kidding me, he is hoping they find him guilty because that plays into their entire agenda. That makes them look good to get the votes, but never mind that society is falling apart because of their liberal agenda. While these are certainly tragedies the true failure starts with what we are embracing in our culture. What we bombard our children with is violence, vulgarity, “life is cheap (abortions & daily killings)”, “it’s all about processions”, sex without marriage, “we are animals with no loving creator”, as a result there is little respect for authority, streets are war zones, people are combative and have an attitude where they have the right to do whatever they want. There are no consequences for our actions. We cannot expect the streets to raise our children in an environment as I described and expect the outcome to be any different. All the money & programs in the world cannot fix what God needs to provide.

Well, Mad King Biden the Usurper and Divider has already decided on a verdict, without knowing the facts and evidence. Typical Democrat, continuing his role as a DIVIDER. His comments will incite a riot just as Waters and Pelosi’s remarks will. I hope that the ensuing riots start a backlash that leads to a revolution. It’s time to end this BS.
Yes it is time to end this BS !!
Honestly. I hope for no riots. But then again. I hope bia-den gets all the same as trump. Looks like he is getting the kid gloves treatment.
He should be fighting for his admin everyday. The msm should be attacking him. His kids their kids and their lives. Daily.
But…..
From someone who has no idea what the evidence is. And doesn’t care.
the right verdict or the one that pushes your narrative and agenda?
translation: I hope they let him off…
