Harris to attend Tyre Nichols’s funeral
The Hill ^ | 01-31-2023 | ALEX GANGITANO

Vice President Harris will attend the funeral on Wednesday of Tyre Nichols, who died after being beaten by Memphis, Tenn., police during a traffic stop.

Harris will travel to Memphis for the services and was invited by Nichols’s family, the vice president’s office told The Hill. She will be joined by other Biden administration officials, including Keisha Lance Bottoms, director for the Office of Public Engagement, and senior adviser to the president Mitch Landrieu.

Harris on Tuesday spoke by phone with Nichols’s mother and stepfather, RowVaughn Wells and Rodney Wells, to express her condolences, according to her office. Her attendance at the funeral was first reported by The Grio.

Nichols’s death has sparked outrage and renewed calls for police reforms. President Biden spoke to Nichols’s parents by phone on Friday and said he was “outraged and deeply pained” by the graphic video footage of the incident in January that showed Nichols, 29, pepper-sprayed, punched, and kicked by a group of police officers.

I think you already know the answer to this. It’s to keep those racial fires burning.

The last “stand for racial justice” she took with Jussie Smollet didn’t turn out so well.

She needs a rebound.

Dim blacks are like the new Muslims. Every time Muslims kill Muslims it makes them madder at Jews. Every time blacks kill blacks it makes the Dim blacks matter at whites.

Many whites have died in the past year. Why is the VP going to a funeral for a man who resisted arrest and went for officer’s weapon?

This Tyre fellow, he obviously did something to provoke the cops. Fleeing will always provoke the cops. All the dirt isn't out on this Tyre fellow. There is more to this story than we think we know.

Did she know him? Were the Nichols close with the Emhoff’s?

She’ll pay the bail for the 5 black cops who are/were being held...but not the white cops.

Trying to shore black support for herself. Won’t work though, she’s just so phony and unlikeable.

Give her a microphone, every word out of her mouth is a gift to conservatives.
