The Minnesota GOP is catching serious heat after delegates at the party's state convention held a moment of silence for Derek Chauvin -- the
...Convention proceedings kicked off Saturday morning with a 10-second moment of silence for Chauvin ... just days after the sixth anniversary of Floyd's death. Chauvin, of course, was convicted in 2021 of murdering Floyd. Video showed Chauvin, a Minneapolis cop at the time, kneeling on Floyd's neck for more than nine minutes during a 2020 arrest. The footage sparked massive protests across the country, fueling calls for police reform and renewed scrutiny of racial justice issues in law enforcement. It's been six years since a man was violently strangled on live TV by a police officer. Officer Chauvin pressed his knee into Floyd's neck for over nine minutes while Floyd was handcuffed, lying face-down, and pleading for air. The Republican Party is running off of hate. Hate for immigrants. Hate for their enemies. They won't even allow a dead man to rest. Truly sickening.
