House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has no regrets for saying Republicans tried to "Get away with [the] murder" of George Floyd.
To hear Pelosi say it, you would think that Floyd was killed in a Republican state - or at least in a city or county governed in some way by Republicans.
On Tuesday, CBS News's Steve Futterman asked Pelosi whether there is any hope that Democrats and Republicans can "Reach some compromise" on a police reform bill.
Pelosi then complained about the positive press that Republicans have enjoyed recently for their efforts to advance anti-brutality legislation authored by Sen. Tim Scott, a South Carolina Republican.
Pelosi concluded, "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."
Nine days after Floyd was killed by police officers, Scott, along with Republican Sens.
No political party is responsible for the killing of George Floyd - least of all the one that had no part in making policy or enforcing the laws of the city and state where he was killed and least of all the one that has hustled in the wake of his death to pass police reform legislation.
