George Floyd Family Condemns Minnesota GOP's Tribute to Derek Chauvin
The family of George Floyd has expressed outrage over a moment of silence held by the Minnesota GOP for Derek Chauvin, the former police officer convicted of murdering Floyd. This tribute occurred during the party's state convention and has been criticized as a shocking and insensitive act. The family believes this action is linked to a controversial joke made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe during a roast of Kevin Hart, which they argue has opened the door for more racist behavior. The family, through spokesperson Travis Cains, emphasizes their commitment to spreading a peaceful and positive message despite these provocations.
