In 2020, in a sad show of political pandering, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and several other Democrat lawmakers took a knee in the Capitol Visitor Center, wearing African kente cloth scarves, to show solidarity with a drug addict and career criminal, George Floyd. Floyd’s death has been hashed over time and again, and there’s no need to repeat that discussion here. But the pandering by Congressional Democrats is interesting in light of another event– the Wednesday sentencing of Jose Ibarra, who was convicted of the murder of Laken Riley.
On X, women’s athletics advocate Riley Gaines wonders when any of these people will kneel for 18 minutes in the name of Laken Riley.
Remember when Nancy Pelosi and her Democratic colleagues knelt for 8 minutes and 46 seconds to honor George Floyd?
I wonder how many…
