Former Vice President Joe Biden directly addressed George Floyd’s 6-year-old daughter, Gianna, in a video message played Tuesday at the funeral of the 46-year old black man who died two weeks ago at the hands of police in Minnesota. In the recording, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee recounted the emotional conversation he had on Monday with Gianna as he visited with Floyd’s family in Houston, Texas. BIDEN MEETS WITH FLOYD'S FAMILY AHEAD OF FUNERAL“Little Gianna, as I said to you when I saw you yesterday, you are so brave,” said Biden, who is no stranger to severe family loss and tragedy. While Biden traveled to Texas on Monday to meet with Floyd’s family, he didn’t attend Tuesday’s funeral service, out of concerns his Secret Service protection would disrupt the proceedings. In the wake of Floyd’s death, Biden has repeatedly spotlighted his push for police reforms and to combat systemic racism.
