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."

Well if they really wanted to show how much they care they would have demanded that his body lay in state in the rotunda. Nancy and Chuck should have given up their turn in order to honor George Floyd.
They should be trying to figure out why it happened in a city and a state run by their party.
Isnt that quaint?
When is Obama going to take half a knee?
LOL - fantastic
you’d think they would have some political advisors at least who would keep them from making such fools of themselves?
Does Nancy Pelosi or others like her have any notion of what Geo. Floyd was really all about? Wondering what she would do if something happened to the other Geo.? Soros.
Bill Clinton know Pelosi is on her knees ..... again
The reality is that they are imitating the cop on Floyd George because their policies have destroyed the blacks in the democrat cities. Top down pressure to hurt the city blacks.
They did this in the “Hall of Emancipation” in the Capitol.
NOT a Democrat function— Emancipation Proclamation was made by Abraham Lincoln.
So these irrelevant nit wits put on some kind of african sashes (that white people particularly— not even in S.Africa, should ever wear)-— and take a knee for the “time” they think is recorded of the death of a fentanyl/methamphetamine toxic street hustler (whose record includes 5 years imprisonment for armed robbery, drug possession in same, and threatening the live of a woman and her fetus— with a firearm)-— a street “Saint”.
Note that fat boy Nadless has to “stand” for something since he can’t as a jew, frankly take a knee, and schumer is his “proxy”. Idiots.
I look at san fransisco and NY ghettos- and can’t seem to come up with much that they have done for minorities- other than refuse to go after those who are criminals for committing crimes - making it easier for them to commit crimes and get away with it-
The picture probably wont show up on the network news broadcasts but it will show up on black media and on black church bulletin boards
Obviously bs. You know they would never do this out of contrition. It’s all show. They truly believe they are never wrong.
Blast it to Hell, learn to f***ing spell.
Spelling is important.
If you can’t spell a common word like “hypocrisy,” you look like a slobbering moron. Through the process of guilt by association, the rest of us look just as stupid.
Stop making us look bad!
If you, clearcarbon, didn’t put this together, then correct it before you pass it on.
