“So far they’re trying to get away with murder – actually, the murder of George Floyd,” Pelosi concluded.

“It’s absolutely stunning that Democrats are trying to block common sense police reform while resorting to unhinged rhetoric to criticize Republicans,” they wrote in a statement.

Pelosi’s wild statement is just another involving a white Democrat talking down to a black Republican in the Senate.

Last week, Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) slammed Scott’s police reform bill as “token” legislation, igniting a firestorm with the racially tinged comments.

 

Three years in and Democrats are still digging in, refusing to allow a legislative victory under this President, even for something a vast majority of Americans want to see right now in police reform.

You could probably have Republicans present a bill suggesting that all babies have the right to eat and the resistance party would fight it.

Does it get any more racist than that?
