AFRICAN AMERICANS: [Reporter: “Mr. President, do you believe that justice was served in the Breonna Taylor case in Kentucky? And what is your message to the black community who believe that perhaps justice was not served by the decision that was rendered by the grand jury in Kentucky?”]
“Well, my message is that I love the black community, and I’ve done more for the black community than any other President, and I say with the possible exception of Abraham Lincoln, and I mean that. With Opportunity Zones and with criminal justice reform, with prison reform, with what we’ve done for historically black universities, colleges, schools — what we’ve done, it’s — nobody has done more. Abraham Lincoln, let’s give him the nod. But beyond that, nobody has done more. I love the black community.
I don’t know enough about it. I heard a decision was just made. We’ve been together here, and so we haven’t discussed it. But after I see what the decision is, I will have a comment on it. Okay?”
