Pelosi and Schumer Take a Knee for George Floyd and Others
CNS News ^ | 8 Jun 20 | Susan Jones

Posted on 06/08/2020 9:55:53 AM PDT by SkyPilot

Rep. Pelosi and Sen. Schumer lead Democrats in 8 minutes, 46 seconds of silence.

Showing their solidarity with Americans protesting the police killing of George Floyd and other black men, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), and many of their fellow Democrats knelt in silence for 8 minutes and 46 seconds at the U.S. Capitol on Monday.

That's how long a Minneapolis policeman kept his knee on George Floyd's neck, until he lost consciousness and died. The horrifying moments, as Floyd lay handcuffed on the ground, happened as three other officers stood by and did nothing and as members of the public recorded the event on cell phone cameras.

Pelosi and Schumer prefaced the event in Emancipation Hall with a few remarks:

Pelosi invoked the "tragedy" and "horror" of slaves being forcibly brought to America, "and then all of the consequences of that."

On your next job interview you will be required to take a knee else you don’t get the job.

Pelosi- who and Schumer, who haven’t done diddly squat for the black community

Well, that's not exactly true ... both Pelosi and Schumer, through their persistent and enthusiastic support of abortion which has killed millions of "black" babies, have helped keep the "black" population down in America.

This is pathetic. These people are responsible for thousands of American deaths, and they pray for the soul of a meth addict?

These are the same people who last week were outraged at Trump for a “photo-op” in front of a burned church.

If you ain’t voting for your House democrats, you ain’t black.

I like too believe this is an omen that Nadler standing means he will be out. In other words, he will be the next politician to pass away among that group.

Same game plan as "Hands up....don't shoot".

How many blacks (and not just token) on Schumer and Pelosi's staff?

Nice, wearing African scarfs and bowing to a pack of Marxists. Traitors

Kneeling is pandering to the Africans. They are kneeling because they will do anything to salvage the votes of those leaving the plantation

More than one former enslaved Democrat plantation worker was heard to exclaim....”Free at last, Free at last! Thank God Almighty I’m free at last”

The kneeling is just pathetic

...they ”knelt in silence”...

Not enough. They need to do a complete struggle session, self confession, and self abasement routine, ala Chairman Mao’s Cultural Revolution example. And possibly absorb a pelting by the BLM brigade.

Then we’ll see.
