Critics say the gesture was an 'insult to our service members.'
Many Americans are outraged after seeing a picture of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) presenting an American flag to the family of George Floyd recently. The picture has been located on Pelosis official Twitter feed among a collection of photos involving the Floyd family, and has since been circulating across social media sites.
Pelosis Twitter post reads, Philonise Floyds heart-wrenching testimony to @HouseJudiciary left its mark on us all. May this flag, which flew over the Capitol on the day of his brothers murder, serve as a symbol of our shared commitment to securing justice for George and for all victims of police violence.

What a PUTZ..you give that when someone dies in COMBAT..but of course the left does NOT respect our flag or our military so this is not a shock
That is how piglosi, klintoon and company really feel about our servicemen. Floyd was a low class criminal. Nuff said.
If they give these out to everyone who dies of a fentanyl overdose they are going to need a ton of them.
People in D.C. like Pelosi are de facto, the enemy.
These people like Pelosi support those who hate our history, our monuments, our language, our flag, our skin color, capitalism, the founding fathers, our holidays, our religion etc...
If that isn’t an enemy, nothing is.
Pelosi is senile and a pandering traitor to boot.
That woman is psychotic. God help us all if she and her ilk get power. They WILL have us all killed.
Floyd was a drug abuser and was probably committing a crime to feed his habit. My hope is that the cop gets justice. Although the optics are bad in the infamous video, the truth still hasn’t put its pants on. I also hope that if he is exonerated he sues and gets enough money to find a new life somewhere because his old life is gone forever.
This has to be fake news or a hoax. It has to be. My dad and uncles fought in WWII. She is trying to provoke us into an armed rebellion so she can have us killed or claim we are the problem. She and her group keep saying and doing things that are obviously calculated to lead to armed revolt. It’s a trap.
What a dirtbag thing to do.
This was payback for Rush recieving a medal from the POTUS in the house.
Someone wants attention and her stupid staff think they are poking the bear when they are just being idiots.
FU the SOB was not a hero.
Don’t dare challenge the queen of the US.
She give the flag because of services rendered.... to the RAT party. Keeping blacks angry keeps them on the RAT plantation. It’s like that weird glowing red alien on Star Trek that fed off the hate it enflamed.
My opinion is that a flag can be presented for lots of reasons, but they are usually to honor someone or some group for service to the country and society in general.
For the Speaker of the House to provide the family of the person had been accused of passing a counterfeit $20 bill, was on drugs and died while being restrained by the police, seems disrespectful to the whole concept about why flags are donated.
I can understand the anger among veteran's families, but that anger should go far further. Flags are symbols and the presentation of one has meaning. The Speaker of the House damaged that meaning.
Ask yourself, is the world a better place?
Correction:
People in D.C. like Pelosi are de facto, the enemy.
These people like Pelosi support rioters, looters, arsonist, anti-American subversive groups, they support those who hate our history, our monuments, our language, our flag, our skin color, capitalism, the founding fathers, our holidays, our religion etc...
If that isnt an enemy, nothing is.
