Speaker Pelosi: Senate Republicans are 'trying to get away with murder -- the murder of George Floyd'

“And so, in other words, for something to happen, they’re going to have to face the realities of police brutality, and the reality of the need for justice in policing, and the recognition that there are many, many good people in law enforcement, but not all, and that we have to address those concerns. 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 said.

BOOM. Exactly what they are trying to do. Maintain the status quo while trying to pretend not to. White Supremacists do not care one jot for the lynchings of black people - it is in their job description. Since the end of slavery they are complicit in the violence and brutality to subjugate black people and they really do not want it to end.
