House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) laid the blame for George Floyd's murder squarely on President Trump. She rejected the contention that since Minneapolis and Minnesota have been governed by Democrats for many decades they might be the ones responsible, calling this "state's rights nonsense."
"Limited government is not an idea supported by the Democratic Party," Pelosi said. "In our view, it is the right and obligation for the president to step in and overrule any action or policy undertaken by any subordinate level of government. President Trump's failure to anticipate the cruel and unjust actions of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin cannot be used as an excuse to absolve him of responsibility for the consequences."
The Speaker contrasted Trump's inaction with "the more aggressive stances taken by previous presidents. It was President George H.W. Bush who sent FBI agents to kill Randy Weaver's wife and son at Ruby Ridge in Idaho in 1992. It was President Bill Clinton who sent the FBI to kill the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas in 1993. These Chief Executives weren't deterred by respect for local authority. Neither will President Joe Biden be deterred. In fact, if Biden had been president instead of Trump an FBI sniper would've taken out Chauvin the moment he sat on George Kirby's neck. In November, voters will have the opportunity to replace the 'do nothing' Trump with a 'no holds barred' Biden. I think we all know how they will respond."

Has Pelosi EVER accepted responsibility for anything???
Everything is a game to the Democrats.
Will George Kirby’s next of kin please contact Nanzi to find out how to collect from Trump? It has been almost 25 years since Kirby’s “murder(?)” I think his next of kin were surprised to find out about it. They were told he (Kirby) died of Parkinson’s disease. /s
dims views are as changeable as the wind....and this idiot is nuts
She’s insane Jim.
The poor woman may have been thinking of George Kerby, the fictional character in the “Topper” TV comedy of the early fifties, who came back to haunt Topper as a ghost.
George Kirby? She must be remembering Topper. She watched it when she wasn’t winding up her phonograph.
Dang. I didn’t scroll down enough to see your post! I’m glad someone else got the reference.
There’s this guy too...

I’ve never played the game but I’ve seen his picture posted on the web quite a bit.
