WASHINGTON, DC— A video showing President Joe Biden appearing to pass over a Black woman during a public event has gone viral, igniting a wave of controversy and discussion on social media. The footage, which surfaced on Tuesday, shows the President interacting with a crowd but seemingly overlooking a Black woman who was attempting to engage with him.

The incident occurred during a recent visit to a community event, where President Biden was greeting attendees and shaking hands. The video clip, widely shared and viewed millions of times, captures the moment when Biden moves past the woman despite her apparent effort to catch his attention. Critics have seized on the footage as an example of perceived racial insensitivity, while supporters argue it was an unintentional oversight in a crowded and chaotic environment.

Social media platforms have been abuzz with reactions. Hashtags such as #BidenIgnoresBlackWoman and #ViralVideo have trended as users weigh in on the incident. Some commentators expressed disappointment and frustration, interpreting the action as a slight against the Black community. Others defended the President, suggesting that the video might not tell the full story and emphasizing his long-standing commitment to civil rights and racial equality.

The video is what White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre would call a ‘cheap fake’ as a full video was later released showing the President engaging the woman.

People can just go watch the full Madison Wisconsin rally instead of posting snippets to act like Biden ignored a black woman.

He literally hugged her in the beginning. If you watch the video he interacted with most everyone.

McALLEN, TX – A 33-year-old Mexican citizen has been sentenced for receiving Lewd Images of Children, announced U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani.

Orlando Diaz-Ramirez pleaded guilty on September 8, 2023, admitting to receiving 300 videos of Lewd Images of Children from Israel Flores, 22, of Los Fresnos. Chief U.S. District Judge Randy Crane has now sentenced Diaz to 97 months in federal prison. The court noted that Diaz had an additional eight gigabytes of child pornography on his Dropbox account and was employed as a choir teacher at a local middle school at the time of the offense. The court emphasized that Diaz’s actions contributed to the market for child pornography and the potential victimization of future children.

Flores was previously sentenced to 97 months in prison. Diaz and Flores are required to pay $24,000 and $21,000, respectively, to known victims. Both men will be ordered to register as sex offenders and serve five years of supervised release, which includes numerous restrictions on their access to children and the internet. As Diaz is not a U.S. citizen, he is expected to face removal proceedings following his sentence.

In October 2020, authorities identified an individual uploadingLewd Images of Children to a Dropbox account and linked the associated IP address to Diaz’s residence in Donna. In April 2021, authorities executed a federal search warrant at Diaz’s residence, where he admitted to downloading Lewd Images of Children via Kik and uploading it to his Dropbox account. Diaz also disclosed that he possessed a USB drive containing child pornography received from Flores.

The investigation highlights the collaborative efforts of law enforcement to address and combat the distribution ofLewd Images of Children, underscoring the serious consequences for those involved in such activities.
