The Democrats from the House of Representatives led by Nancy Pelosi held a presser outside the US Capitol after the Derek Chauvin verdict was announced.
Speaker Pelosi and other Representatives held a presser at the Capital.
One Representative asked, insinuating that the event in Minneapolis happens all the time:
What about the ones not “taped on a cell phone?”
Then Pelosi spoke and said:
Nothing surpasses the honor of being with the Black Caucus today where we have seen a step in the right direction for justice done. Earlier at about 3 o’clock I spoke to the family to say to them thank you. God bless you for your grace and dignity, for the model that you are….
… they complimented the Congressional Black Caucus for its role it played in all this… His name [George Floyd] is synonomous with justice, and dignity and grace and honor.”
