The sacrificial lamb?

San Francisco CA

Description

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday drew criticism by thanking George Floyd, a Black man who became a symbol of the struggle for racial justice, after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of murdering him. During a news conference following Chauvin's conviction on three criminal counts, Pelosi called the outcome "a step in the right direction for justice." "Thank you, George Floyd for sacrificing your life for justice," Pelosi said, referring to Floyd's death in May as Chauvin pinned his knee on Floyd's neck for more than nine minutes. The comment drew widespread criticism online, even from figures in her own party. "Speaker Pelosi's comment about George Floyd was totally inappropriate. At a minimum, she should apologize," said Josh McLaurin, a Democratic member of the Georgia state legislature, on Twitter. "But more than that, I think the gaffe clarifies how much this country would benefit from a Black Speaker of the House." Is Pelosi that out of touch with the black community? She just insulted the black community and doesn't even realize it. Lets not forget when she and her colleges took a knee in the white house wearing African kente cloth scarves. These scarfs were worn by black slave traders in Africa.
