Speaker Pelosi Criticizes President Trump's Response to Protests and Civil Unrest

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) reacts to President Trump's remarks Monday evening about the nationwide protests and civil unrest in the wake of George Floyd's death in police custody. Holding a bible like the president did outside St. John's the day before, the speaker quotes from the text and other presidents, arguing that President Trump could have chosen a more appropriate response to be a "healer-in-chief." She says on the protests in response to George Floyd's death: "It's long overdue time for us to make some of that change that people were calling out for." She also condemns the destruction done by some of the protesters across the country. close
