Reporter Confronts Psaki For Biden’s Role In Authoring The System He Now Calls Systemic Racism

Reporter: “President Biden yesterday responded to George Floyd case verdict, said that George Floyd’s death ripped the blinders off for the whole world to see the systemic racism in the United States. But he’s an architect of multiple federal laws in the 1980s and ‘90s that disproportionately jailed black people and contributed to what many people see a systemic racism. Activist Cornell West said that Biden was one of the core architects of mass incarceration, and that, ‘I think Biden is going to have to take responsibility and acknowledge the contribution he made to mass incarceration.’ To what extent does President Biden acknowledge his own role in systemic racism and how does that inform his current policy positions?”
