From New York City's station PIX-11:
Nancy Pelosi thanks George Floyd ‘for sacrificing your life for justice’
After former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of murder and manslaughter in the death of George Floyd, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi thanked Floyd “for sacrificing your life for justice.”
She thanked him for “being there to call out” to his mom, and noted how heartbreaking it was.
“Because of you and because of thousands, millions of people around the world, who came out for justice, your name will always be synonymous with justice and now we have to make sure justice prevails in the sentencing,” Pelosi said.
Floyd once held a gun to the belly of a pregnant woman during a home invasion robbery. He had a three-times lethal dose of Fentanyl in his bloodstream when he died. This is the person people are elevating to martyrdom? This is the example being set for children?
Nancy is just using this moment to grandstand and to consolidate power. She needs to go back to San Francisco and take care of her constituency. They need it.
