House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was condemned on Tuesday saying that George Floyd, a Minneapolis man murdered by a police officer in 2020, "sacrificed his life" for racial justice, a statement some critics called "ignorant" and "tone deaf."
"Thank you George Floyd, for sacrificing your life for justice. For being there to call out to your mom, how heartbreaking was that, call out for you mom, 'I can't breathe,'" Pelosi said at a press conference hosted by the Congressional Black Caucus following the verdict. "But because of you and because of thousands, millions of people around the world who came out for justice, your name will always be synonymous with justice."
Still, there was a significant backlash to her original comments, with people pointing out that Floyd did not die willingly for the causes of police reform and racial justice

Where do we go to get our country back from this absolute Satanic insanity that has taken it over ? Someone please tell me.
Thank you George Floyd for sacrificing your life to advance my political agenda........
We’re not getting it back.
I thought we were toast when ALL of our elected and appointed ignored the Constitution and swore in the ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia.
I has a glimmer of hope when we elected Trump.
The Uniparty snuffed that with the Big Steal.
Why does Mafia Nancy always like to praise criminals and never mention their victims? Seems to run in her Italian side of the family - father, brother.
Just watched most of the “Godfather” movies. She should have been casted in all of them. She’d be perfect.
Has anyone had the guts to ask Pelosi and others “How many people in Minneapolis died from drugs Floyd sold them”?
Does anyone know? If he was directly linked to just one death, then he would be guilty as an accessory to or purveyor of a criminally negligent homicide.
"They're animals anyway, so let them lose their souls."
He died for your white privilege
If George had been sitting at home watching TV, with the same amount of drugs in him, he’d be just as dead, and no one would have ever heard of him.
He didn’t call out to his mom. Mama was the nickname he called his crackhead girlfriend.
She is as evil as she is senile.
He called his girl friend ‘mama’...if you would have followed the entire year you would know...ALL THE FACTS...
This is just how you planned the Capital Police officer Show at the Capital, and he died of two strokes...medical records report...You just wanted to create more problems...
AND YOU ARE THE PROBLEM, NANCY....81 IS TOO DAMN OLD TO BE IN CONGRESS AND TOO DAMN OLD TO BE PREACHING TO AMERICANS...WE DID NOT ELECT YOU TO ANY POSITION...
WAKE UP AMERICANS...DEMOCRATS WILL DESTROY THIS NATION... my opinion..This Hate needs to stop and the lies as well..
Floyd is a martyr; the new Christ figure for the Marxist insurgents working to take over America. Those who are falling for it speaks loudly for the crap soup of our education system.
How many did he manage to impregnante? They must all be screaming for their piece of that $27 million pie.
~ Nancy Pelosi
Take it that Pelosi is telling the truth. This means George Floyd thought he was part of “drama” that would result in riots because of his treatment. He just didn’t think it would kill him.
I thought it was a Babylon Bee story when I read the title. Yikes..
George Floyd died on the cross for our sins.
Fentanyl Floyd
