Looks Like Some Could’ve Done Without Nancy Pelosi Singing ‘Lift Every Voice And Sing’ With The Congressional Black Caucus
Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time the internet has called out the politician for pandering behavior.
In April, she drew the ire of many after she awkwardly thanked George Floyd for “sacrificing” himself in the name of justice at a news conference following the conviction of Derek Chauvin, Blavity previously reported.
“Thank you, George Floyd, for sacrificing your life for justice,” the House Speaker said on Capitol Hill shortly after Chauvin’s conviction. “For being there to call out to your mom, how heartbreaking was that. Your name will always be synonymous with justice.”
Last year, the House Speaker joined Democratic colleagues in wearing kente cloths and kneeling to memorialize Black lives lost to police violence, according to USA Today. The group later introduced the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2020, a measure that seeks to change the national scope of policing and stamp out violence against Black communities.
