VP Pence: ‘The Death of George Floyd Is a Tragedy’

EXCERPT:

PENCE: "President Trump and I have been very clear. The death of George Floyd was a tragedy. It is also — it has been heartrending for all of us to watch that video and the President and I are committed, the Justice Department is committed to ensure that justice is served. And we stand with our peaceful protesters, we’re listening. But there will be no tolerance for rioting, looting and violence against individuals or law enforcement officers. That’s the reason why the President took the strong action that he took, and we are encouraged to see that in recent days these protests have remained largely peaceful and we trust that we will continue to see that effort.”
