You sir are an absolute disgrace and embarrassment to this country…’

The Twitter hashtag #BidenWorstPresidentEver started trending on Tuesday with tens of thousands of tweets using it, seemingly in response to an interview in which President Joe Biden compared George Floyd to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Despicable that this inept fake president would say career felonious criminal George Floyd is more important than an American pioneer Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. #BidenWorstPresidentEver https://t.co/kJbbW4N6og

Biden even went as far as to say in the interview Monday that George Floyd’s death was more consequential than the civil rights icon.

“Even Dr. King’s assassination did not have the worldwide impact that George Floyd’s death did,” Biden said.
Some have noted that in a practical sense, Biden is correct. While King’s death elicited nationwide race riots, there was not the same systemic response as followed Floyd’s, with much of it appears to have been coordinated, if not pre-planned.
Businesses, schools, and other institutions immediately implemented training in Critical Race Theory, while rioters were allowed in blue cities to loot and vandalize with impunity, even giving rise to a short-lived “defund the police” movement.
Cancel culture consumed the entertainment and media industries, with any sort of pushback or criticism forming the justification for blacklisting.
Far from healing the wounds, Biden’s installment as president has done little but exacerbate them on multiple levels as he seeks shamelessly to advance a radical and controversial agenda with no sort of voter mandate.
Despite the accuracy of his comment, Biden’s false equivalency of the revered civil-rights icon King and the recently-martyred crack-dealer Floyd offended many.
You sir are an absolute disgrace and embarrassment to this country. How dare you even attempt to compare the work of Dr King to George Floyd!! #LetsGoBrandon #BidenWorstPresidentEver https://t.co/9q4UVX5N8d

The tag trended for several hours and eventually transformed from criticism of Biden’s comments on MLK to broad disparagement of his administration, political career, intellectual level, and personal character.

I had abysmally low expectations and, I honestly admit, this administration has sunk even lower than my wildest, lowest expectations.#BidenWorstPresidentEver

The Biden administration is coming off of a particularly rough week and a historically bad first year, with his approval rating currently sitting around in the low 30s, according to Gallup.
Polling also revealed that support for Democrats dropped precipitously last year while support for Republicans increased by the same amount—7% each way. Americans now say they prefer the GOP 47% to Democrats’ 42%.
