Last week Trump's lies at @NABJ in Chicago dominated the chatter.

But Democrats were there too. DNC Chair @harrisonjaime's words moved me to tears.

He talked about the real issues facing Black America and what @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris have done for our country.

THREAD: Tonight, @JoeBiden had powerful words to share about George Floyd's killing, the ongoing and underlying racial issues in America, and how to heal as a nation.

Read what Biden had to say here, via @BoKnowsNews' pool report 1/8 >> "We can’t ignore that we are in a country with an open wound right now.

THREAD: @JoeBiden responded to 20 questions from @byshondaland about why he's running for president, his vision for America, and his fav ice cream flavor.

But he was also asked a question that's really hard to answer right now.... 1/

shondaland.com/act/a29669265/… .@byshondaland asked @JoeBiden:

"What is America doing right? What makes you hopeful?"

With everything Trump has done to America while in office, it can be easy to forget about what gives us hope. But Biden gave me a powerful reminder. 2/
