House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Republicans 'trying to get away with murder' of George Floyd

By -

 Nancy Pelosi asserted in an interview Tuesday that Republicans are "trying to get away with murder, actually -- the murder of George Floyd" -- marking a dramatic escalation in rhetoric as the Democrat-controlled House prepares to pass its police reform package.
Pelosi, D-Calif., speaking to CBS News Radio correspondent Steve Futterman, said Senate Republicans' reform proposals in the wake of Floyd's in-custody death in Minneapolis were "unsalvageable" and won't make "any difference."
Specifically, Pelosi said Democrats want a total ban on chokeholds, which Attorney General William Barr has also suggested he would support. But, Pelosi said, some Republicans are waffling on the issue.
"For something to happen, they're going to have to face the realities of police brutalities, the realities of the need for justice in policing, and the recognition that there's many good people in law enforcement, but not all. And that we have to address those concerns," she said.
"So, when they admit that, and have some suggestions that are worthy of consideration -- but so far they were trying to get away with murder, actually -- the murder of George Floyd," Pelosi continued.
In a shameful attempt to justify why Democrats won’t be supporting Republican legislation on police reform, Pelosi says that Republicans are “trying to get away with murder, actually, the murder of George Floyd”.
Pelosi simply doesn’t want to support this Republican legislation because all she can think about is the 2020 election, and the last thing she wants is for Republicans to be able to say they led in a bipartisan way on police reform. She doesn’t want Republicans to be able to own the moment because she knows it could have big repercussions in November. It’s all about politics with her. But in order to try and hide that she uses abominable language such as this.
CNN asked Rep. Pramila Jayapal, another despicable Democrat, about this audio and she defended Pelosi’s statement by saying that Republicans are only putting out half measures and therefore are “absolutely letting people get away with murder”:
Notice that Jayapal tweaked the language a bit, saying Republicans are “letting people get away with murder” rather than they are “trying to get away with murder,” as Pelosi said. Both are completely absurd, but I think this slight rewording just goes to show you how despicable Pelosi’s comments were, such that even her fellow comrades have trouble saying them exactly as she did.
MSNBC confronted Pelosi about her despicable statement, saying that Republicans were demanding that she apologize. Of course she refused, but watch to the end:

When Pelosi was asked if Senator Tim Scott was working in good faith, Pelosi replied “I’m talking about Mitch McConnell! I’m talking about Mitch McConnell!” Of course she is, because she doesn’t want it to look like she’s attacking the one black Republican who actually wrote the bill, one who has admitted that he’s been targeted by police due to the color of his skin. So she switches it to Mitch McConnell because Democrats loathe him and he’s white. Amazing.

NBC Washington Correspondent Yamiche Alcindor and former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade join Andrea Mitchell to discuss key challenges facing the January 6 Committee ahead of their primetime hearings this week: getting a "distracted nation" to pay attention and understand what's at stake. “I think the biggest challenge for lawmakers here, as they talk about these sort of huge ideas of American democracy and sort of the experiment that we're all living in, benefiting from, possibly being brought to his knees, is whether or not they can make people care,” says Alcindor. “The American public has been groomed to expect high value quick entertainment,” says McQuade. "I think putting together a polished show can be very important."

 NBC News correspondent Yamiche Alcindor worried Democrats would have a difficult time making Americans "care" and pay attention to the January 6 hearings, amid high gas prices, inflation, and a baby formula shortage. Appearing in a MSNBC panel Monday, Alcindor told host Andrea Mitchell that the "biggest challenge" the January 6 House Select Committee faced was getting Americans to have the same level of concern for their investigation. "I think the biggest challenge for lawmakers here as they talk about these sort of huge ideas of American democracy and sort of the experiment that we’re all living and benefiting from possibly being brought to his knees is whether or not they can make people care, Andrea," she said.

Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon discuss President Donald Trump's comments about race after the 2019 Oscars. Be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes, or better yet not have to use notes at all, when doing his racist hit on your President, who has done more for African Americans (Criminal Justice Reform, Lowest Unemployment numbers in History, Tax Cuts,etc.) than almost any other Pres! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 25, 2019 The left loves to hate on Trump, calling him a racist and what not. I know Trump can be juvenile sometimes – certainly – but the racist and hateful name-calling is just what it is, garbage.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez scrambled Sunday to explain why neighbors at her listed Bronx address never saw her there — and ended up claiming she recently relocatedto a larger place nearby. The day after The Post reported that residents said they had never seen her around — and she ducked questions about it after an appearance — her spokesman said the Democratic freshman congresswoman now lives with her boyfriend in a two-bedroom apartment “a block and a half away.’’ The pair relocated there earlier this month, he said. “She lives in the same neighborhood she’s lived in for years,” said the spokesman, Corbin Trent. “She is not living in the exact same condo.’’ The recent move still didn’t explain why residents at her previous digs — a one-bedroom Bronx condo owned by her mom — insisted they had never seen her there. U.S. reps and senators are required to have a residence in their home districts. Trent claimed that Ocasio-Cortez, 29, was at her new home Sunday afternoon, al
