The former vice president called Trump's suggestion "despicable." </p><p>"For the president to try to put any other words in the mouth of George Floyd I frankly think is despicable," Biden said at the beginning of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSe0mTsXwqw">a speech</a> he delivered Friday afternoon. </p><p>The economy added 2.5 million jobs in May, bringing the unemployment rate down to 13.3% from the 14.7% rate in April — an unexpectedly strong month amid the economic crisis. </p><p>In his Friday press conference, Trump took a victory lap on the economy, boasted about the US recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, which has now killed over 105,000 Americans, and spoke about the issue of racial justice and police brutality. </p><p>While speaking extemporaneously, Trump said he hoped Floyd was "looking down right now" and celebrating the progress the country is making.</p><p>"Equal justice under the law must mean that every American receives equal treatment in every encounter with law enforcement regardless of race, color, gender, or creed," Trump said. "We all saw what happened last week. We can't let that happen. Hopefully George is looking down right now and saying this is a great thing that's happening for our country. It's a great day for him, it's a great day for everybody ... this is a great day in terms of equality." </p><p>It's unclear what the president was referring to when he said that Friday was a "great day in terms of equality." The White House <a href="https://twitter.com/_WilliamsonBen/status/1268948900620242944">insisted</a> on Friday that Trump was referring to "the fight for equal justice and equal treatment under the law," rather than the jobs report. </p><p>The president went on to say that his "plan" to deal with systemic <keyword id="44060" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Racism">racism</keyword> in America is building a strong economy.</p><p>"We had the strongest economy anywhere in the world, and now we're going to have an economy that's even stronger," he said. </p><p>Unemployment among Black Americans is at 16.8% — the highest level in more than 10 years. </p><p>Biden said he was "disappointed" to see Trump "basically hanging a 'Mission Accomplished' banner out there" even as the coronavirus continues to ravage the country and tens of millions of Americans remain unemployed. </p><p>"These are some of the sternest challenges the country has ever faced and Donald Trump is patting himself on the back," Biden said during his speech on Friday. "He just has no idea, in my view, what is going on in this country. He has no idea the depth of the pain that so many people are still enduring." </p><p>He added, "It's time for him to step out of his own bunker, take a look at the consequences of his words and his actions."</p><p><em>Grace Panetta contributed to this report.</em></p>

<p>"It is in reality a war originally levied by ambitious men in the cotton-growing States, for the purpose of drawing the slaveholding Border States into the vortex of the conspiracy, " Everett said about the start of the Civil War.</p>
<p>Indeed, Everett related this battle for freedom to the one the Greeks fought millenia ago:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span>"And shall I, fellow-citizens, who, after an interval of twenty-three centuries, a youthful pilgrim from the world unknown to ancient Greece, have wandered over that illustrious plain, ready to put off the shoes from off my feet, as one that stands on holy ground,-who have gazed with respectful emotion on the mound which still protects the dust of those who rolled back the tide of Persian invasion, and rescued the land of popular liberty, of letters, and of arts, from the ruthless foe,-stand unmoved over the graves of our dear brethren, who so lately, on three of those all-important days which decide a nation's <keyword id="29052" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="history">history</keyword>,-days on whose issue it depended whether this august republican Union, founded by some of the wisest statesmen that ever lived, cemented with the blood of some of the purest patriots that ever died, should perish or endure,-rolled back the tide of an invasion, not less unprovoked, not less ruthless, than that which came to plant the dark banner of Asiatic despotism and slavery on the free soil of Greece? Heaven forbid!"</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">The speech goes on to describe the three-day battle fought at Gettysburg and the immeasurable losses suffered by both victor and vanquished. Everett makes clear, however, that the blame laid with the Confederacy:</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"<span>And now, friends, fellow-citizens, as we stand among these honored graves, the momentous question presents itself, Which of the two parties to the war is responsible for all this suffering, for this dreadful sacrifice of life,-the lawful and constituted government of the United States, or the ambitious men who have rebelled against it? <span>I say "rebelled" against it ..."</span></span></span></p>
<p>The two-hour-long speech concludes with another glorification of the Union victory: <span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"... </span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">wheresoever throughout the civilized world the accounts of this great warfare are read, and down to the latest period of recorded time, in the glorious annals of our common country there will be no brighter page than that which relates the battles of Gettysburg."</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Everett's epic speech was followed by</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> a </span><a href="http://www.abrahamlincolnonline.org/lincoln/speeches/gettysburg.htm">273 words</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> speech from Lincoln, lasting less than two minutes. While the president never mentioned slavery and did not directly criticize the South, his words had a far more lasting impression.</span></p>
<p>Here's Lincoln's Gettysburg Address:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate - we can not consecrate - we can not hallow - this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Even Everett </span><a href="http://www.abrahamlincolnonline.org/lincoln/speeches/everett.htm">wrote a letter to Lincoln</a> the next day<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">, asserting, "I should be glad, if I could flatter myself that I came as near to the central idea of the occasion, in two hours, as you did in two minutes."</span></p>
