Pelosi says Republicans 'trying to get away with murder' of George Floyd

By Gregg Re | Fox News

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asserted in an interview Tuesday that Republicans are "trying to get away with murder, actually -- the murder of George Floyd" -- marking a dramatic escalation in rhetoric as the Democrat-controlled House prepares to pass its police reform package.

Pelosi, D-Calif., speaking to CBS News Radio correspondent Steve Futterman, said Senate Republicans' reform proposals in the wake of Floyd's in-custody death in Minneapolis were "unsalvageable" and won't make "any difference."

Specifically, Pelosi said Democrats want a total ban on chokeholds, which Attorney General William Barr has also suggested he would support. But, Pelosi said, some Republicans are waffling on the issue.



"For something to happen, they're going to have to face the realities of police brutalities, the realities of the need for justice in policing, and the recognition that there's many good people in law enforcement, but not all. And that we have to address those concerns," she said.

"So, when they admit that, and have some suggestions that are worthy of consideration -- but so far they were trying to get away with murder, actually -- the murder of George Floyd," Pelosi continued.

Pelosi Doubles Down on Horrific Murder Accusation That May Incite Violence Against Republicans

Quote
On Wednesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) refused to apologize for accusing Republicans of “trying to get away with murder, the murder of George Floyd.” The Senate Republican Communications Center had demanded an apology, but she refused to give one.

Asked whether or not she would apologize for the incendiary accusation, the House speaker said, “Absolutely, positively not.”

The rats are at war with the GOP. And their asses are hanging so far out with all of these riots and anti-intellectual anti-American demonstrations going on, all the republican cowards have to do is point their finger in response. When will they start fighting back?

The problem here is not Nutty Nancy making outrageous statements.
The problem is that there are MILLIONS who will listen... and believe her.

Just speaking hypothetically, but if a politician were to advocate the injury or death of people politically juxtaposed to that politician, then that would be a declaration of war.
That works both ways.
Time for a new deck of cards, like the troops had in Iraq. Faces of domestic terror.
The aces in the new deck of cards would be the ones who called for this crap the loudest.

Pelosi: I Won’t Apologize for Comparing GOP Police Reform Bill to ‘Murder of George Floyd’

 

Graham Piro - June 24, 2020 2:40 PM

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) on Wednesday doubled down on comparisons she made between the Republicans' proposed legislation reforming police practices and the murder of George Floyd.

She told MSNBC she "absolutely" would not apologize for the comparison made Tuesday and said Sen. Tim Scott's (R., S.C.) legislation would "make no difference."

"Absolutely, positively not," Pelosi said when asked if she would apologize to Republicans for the comparison. "I think you, frankly, in the press have given them far too much credit for a bill that does nothing. They're saying, well you have your bill, they have theirs. Yeah, our bill does something, theirs does nothing."

So, the state and local police work for the federal government?
Why is a witch from san francisco telling state and local governments in Texas or Virginia how to conduct law enforcement?

Republicans can learn from that.

@rangerrebew

You set your goals too low. I'd rather see her stroke-out on live teebee as she chokes on some of the lies stuck in her throat.
