A resolution sponsored by Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla) "calling for justice for George Floyd and others, and condemning violence and rioting" failed to attract a single Democratic vote in support.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) pointed out that "law and order is the Republican knee-jerk response to the exuberant and robust protests on behalf of racial justice that have been taking place. The value of the property stolen, damaged or destroyed pales in comparison to the centuries of injustice that have stained America from the very beginning of time. The Democratic Party will not permit these lesser crimes from being denigrated as the Republicans would have us do. Sometimes protests are violent. That doesn't mean they are illegitimate."
