<p>Former Democrat President Barack Obama faced backlash online Wednesday afternoon after he invoked George Floyd following the school shootings that happened on Tuesday in Texas.</p>
<p>Obama&#8217;s remarks come after an 18-year-old Latino male <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-disturbing-details-emerge-about-shooter-who-attacked-texas-elementary-school">stormed</a> Robb Elementary School in Uvalde and opened fire on students, killing at least 19 children, before a nearby U.S. Border Patrol agent rushed into the building and killed the suspect.</p>
<p>&#8220;As we grieve the children of Uvalde today, we should take time to recognize that two years have passed since the murder of George Floyd under the knee of a police officer,&#8221; Obama tweeted. &#8220;His killing stays with us all to this day, especially those who loved him.&#8221;</p>
<p>Obama continued by promoting his leftist My Brother&#8217;s Keeper Alliance, which seeks to force police departments to &#8220;reimagine policing.&#8221;</p>
<p>Notable responses to Obama included:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Ben Shapiro</strong>, The Daily Wire: &#8220;What in the world does the former have to do with the latter?&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Jason Whitlock</strong>, The Blaze: &#8220;Let&#8217;s stand George Floyd on the dead bodies of slaughtered children. This is one of the worst tweets in history.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Harry Khachatrian</strong>, The Washington Examiner: &#8220;Innocent children gunned down in an elementary school is absolutely not comparable to a criminal being wrongly killed by police mid-arrest.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Kira Davis</strong>, political commentator: &#8220;Not a single grieving parent today gives a rip about what happened to Floyd or anyone right now. For crying out loud. This is not the time to be advertising for your favorite activist group. How utterly vile.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Harrison Fields</strong>, communications director for Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL): &#8220;Despicable. Floyd had his moment, literally a summer of protest and anarchy devoted to his memory. The evil man that murdered him will spend the rest of his life in jail. Now is the time to remember the 22 innocent souls that were senselessly massacred in TX. When they go low?&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Gad Saad</strong>, professor: &#8220;Children, shmildren. Sure those kids died but let’s honor Floyd, a BLM icon. You are my president forever and I’m Canadian. Your ability to say nothing in such an articulate manner is inspiring. Thank you.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Mike Cernovich</strong>, political commentator: &#8220;George Floyd robbed a pregnant woman at gun point. It’s not the same, you divisive psychopath.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Christian Ziegler</strong>, Florida Republican Vice Chairman: &#8220;Quickest, weirdest and most insensitive Tweet Pivot I have seen. Obama turned the page on the children of Uvalde and moved the attention to George Floyd in less then 280 characters. I mean… couldn’t he have separated the two into 2 Tweets and waited 2 mins between both posts?&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Rebeccah Heinrichs</strong>, Hudson Institute: &#8220;Not his best. We’ve got a Mad Libs vibe on this one.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Joel Pollak</strong>, Breitbart: &#8220;Why contrast these two events? Mark the memory of George Floyd without making it look like you resent the attention being paid to innocent children or heroic police. Tone deaf at best.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Emmanuel Rincon</strong>, El American: &#8220;The families of more than 20 people (mostly children) killed yesterday do not deserve this disrespect. It would be good to respect their pain and not use this moment to stir up more hatred.&#8221;</li>
