Gladys Knight's husband says Biden told them straight up he wouldn't be meeting with them over her PPE company.

to meet with Biden since 2021 -- she wants to get a government contract so her company can provide PPE to the public -- and her husband says he finally cornered Biden in the White House and was told the meeting wasn't going to happen.

Biden presented Gladys with the National Medal of Arts last week, but her husband says when he brought up the meeting to POTUS he was immediately shut down.Gladys and William are adamant they're not looking for a government payday or handout here ... they say Biden's refusal to meet with them is an example of a much larger problem ... Black businesses continually coming in last for federal contracts, which they feel is a civil rights issue.

The issue here though ... Gladys and William say the Biden Administration is talking about wanting to create a level playing field, but actions aren't backing up words.Gladys and her husband tell us they went through all channels to try and get to Biden ... working their Democratic contacts in D.C. and even going to Biden's right-hand man ... but it's all been for nothing, and they can't help but wonder if Biden simply doesn't care.

What a racist President JoeBiden POTUS FLOTUS WhiteHouse TheDemocrats

What yall thought, he really cared about blk folks🤣🤣

Gladys Knight really going out like this?!? Dayum...no one in her family lookin' out for her? Gladys, get over yourself; as if Biden is going to meet w/ her personally re. a venture her hubby is trying to make money off of. Geez....another gullible woman being manipulated.

I love Gladys but why should a wealthy entertainer get special treatment?

They look like 'ashtray, bitch'.... ijs

This is a nothing burger ..

Everyone running a con job.

It's a con, disguised under social justice. GTFO Glady's with your man/boy and your 28 million ner value and fake attorney 🤣🤣🤣

China was counting on Black Supremacy

She should tell sniffy that she is Ukrainian

To all those saying 'he probably has better things to do' 'he can't meet with everyone' and so on. the kpop group BTS was just recently at the white house? So Im sure they have a better reason to be there then Gladys does, whatcha think? .. this was after her request for meeting.

I saw the interview, but still don't know why they wanted a one on one. But, even so...

Gladys needs to get rid of this clown. She was invited to the White House for an award and he is trying to peddle HIS business to POTUS on the side. What an opportunist! Gladys, please stop funding this man’s dreams. He’s going to bring you down.

PPE ? Is Biden the procurement officer

He had his reasons

Who is Gladys Knight?

Let the Mormon church buy their scraps!!! Just because Gladys is being piped out by this hustler- doesn’t mean my tax dollars have to be! 🤨

This isn't news The president has more pressing matters

He’s not meeting with me either 🤷‍♂️

In other words, President signaled to the legend MsGladysKnight, He’s not getting on “Midnight Train to Georgia” even though Mrs. Knight and husband informed POTUS “Neither One of Us” wants to be the first to say… Goodbye…”🤷🏾‍♂️

I don’t see what the big deal is

Gladys Knight is too much of a legend to go out like this. Lady, you are not top priority. 🧐

The government did not need PPE equipment so why would Biden need to meet with her?

Which course at Wharton School of Business covers 'cornering'?

Her husband looks young. Is there so manipulation here?👀

And

My company successfully bred a rhinoceros and a horse to create real life unicorns and he won’t meet with me either. 🥸

She didn’t utter a word..well, hello and goodbye.. Bizarre…

She thinks she is gonna get a meeting because she is black 🤣🤣 Biden hates black ppl and you guys voted for him 😂🤣

He 'finally cornered Biden in the White House?' I don't think so.

Why don’t they contact the VP and see what she says?!

Uh, why do they have a PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) company? See they want a cushy government contract and because they ain’t getting one, they blame racism AGAIN! Stick to music Gladys

Why is this a story? He prob has more important business to attend to…

Why is posting this doa story 24/7?

Wait a few months then voting season will begin. They will play you for your votes then and you’ll vote along with the kids coming out of high school and college age

Why is this a story?

It’s not election season…he doesn’t need the black vote yet

Lost a lot of respect for her. She runs to TMZ (Fox) of all things to complain that she wasn’t able to push her company to Biden. Please Gladys it’s a bad look. Obviously your a chronic nag. Say thank you for the medal and move on.

Biden is a serial racist what do you expect

If I asked for a meeting, I’d get ignored too. 🤣

Am we stop the color of a business …Best deal no matter what color

Apparently, everybody knows what PPE is. Is this personal protective equipment or some other shit 😎

You think he remembers? Get serious.

So wat he can’t meet with everyone that has a PPE company What’s ur point?

Biden ran as soon as they mention doing something for Black Businesses

They don’t get a personal meeting with the President, just like 300 million others don’t. And this is a story because..?

Why would the president meet with them? It’s not like they’re at Jon Voight level of celebrity.

More nonsense talk..

That tells you what you need to know about the leftists.

Can't take no for an answer?

So u all need money. Biden can’t bail u out of the mess u have gotten urself into.

That’s her husband?!! Why is he doing all the talking? Is it her company or his? This is foolishness

kaysey6594 Why should she have any business advantage over anyone else?

Sigh…. Love how every thing becomes racist because a business has a black owner and doesn’t get its way. As if the president is in charge of every decision regarding contracts to the government. Go through the normal channels like everyone else has to!

I absolutely love Gladys Knight. Did she actually think the man that produced the Biden Crime Bill, was going to help her out?He, along with a lot of democrats, pander to blacks &then, stabs them in the back. When will blacks wake up to racists like Biden? He’s phony.

Gladys Knight, don’t let people use your name like this. It’s better not to be tied to the PPE drama. The whole pandemic linked experiences with AID is not a good idea. Count your blessings that God is blocking this connection.

Biden's a demented crony. But this couple is trying to use race to get the government to bail out their fancy face mask company sitting on a ton of face shields nobody wanted to buy. This one's not on Biden.

, stories like this make your show seem weak, irrelevant and out of touch! Lately, you all have been slipping…between that and that so-called scandal on reality tv, you all have been slacking with BORING stories! HarveyLevinTMZ The real story is who is this dude with Gladys

Do you guys have any idea how many companies switched their business models in the pandemic? Thousands of companies went from making their items, switching to ppe. They're not blowing up putting the president on blast because they had 2 much left. You're no more owed then them!

Oh no. What a threat!!!

These white democrats were racist in the south and north. Why do you think they will change who they are now in 2023?

MsGladysKnight Who Cares?! What’s the deal with this weird Gladys Knight story with this even weirder weirdo-husband trying to blame racism on the fact that the White House won’t meet with them? Since when are celebrities entitled to force bad government contracts?

You should be embarrassed to be sensationalizing this WEAK story that NOBODY cares about….not even African Americans! Biden is right and Gladys Knight’s teenage husband needs to get a real job! Since when do celebrities get to force the U.S. President to contract w/them?

Yeah....he never returned my phone call either

WHY SHOULD HE? That’s HER fault for not getting outta that business when she could’ve…

She needs to go ahead and sell her bad PPE investment overseas. They are desperate for Potus to bail them out. Just stop MsGladysKnight and file bankruptcy.

The company is based in China. He got her into a really dirty deal

YT don’t care about you

He looks like he could be her son… Is he using her? SMH

And I am with Biden on that . What a waste of his time it will be . The entitlement portion

And she feels because she’s famous that he needs to do it?

This is sad and disturbing. Seems someone is trying to force a hand when they are not holding good cards. Being black doesn't mean you automatically get your 15 minutes. Why is a singer selling PPE? If she's concerned for her community, donate them.

She’s at the WH getting an award, and her husband is trying to strong arm President Biden ? ALL these people he has contacted have shut HIM down.. Sounds like a scam to me

Aww you thought that the most racist person to ever be in office was gonna care that your black and your business is going bankrupt? Maybe trump would have met with you 😂

This husband of her's didn't let her get a word in? Don't think much of him!!

This is a Chinese optical lens company. Why would the government look to them during Covid? Gladys is a singer who put her name on the company so it can be classified as woman/black owned. She is a scam artist.

Who cares? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wow, I actually agree with Joe Biden! Is that Glady's lawyer or a friend pretending?

Does he think he is a Pip or something?

As soon as he said it's not about the money......it's all about the money.

He’s 46, she’s 78. Elder manipulation. Smh.

And so
