Karine Jean-Pierre: ‘We Can’t Afford Any More George Floyds’

EXCERPT:

JEAN-PIERRE: "So, one of the things I want to say is something that Reverend Al Sharpton said yesterday, which I really appreciated. Thank you, Reverend Al Sharpton, for really putting it all together for us and really for speaking out for so many of us and lifting up our community like you do every day. But the thing that I really tuned into yesterday was how you said, 'This is not over,' how you said that you will continue this fight. When the cases, when the court — when it goes to the courts and it moves forward for George Floyds, that you’re still going to be there. And that’s the thing, because this is the time. We see an outpouring right now that we haven’t seen, at least in my lifetime. And this is the moment. This is the moment that we have to ask for reform. This is the moment that we have to continue to stay together. And it’s been multicultural, it’s been multiracial, it’s been a moment that has uplifted me in this incredibly sad time. And so, we just have to continue that fight and we have to continue to speak up, because we cannot have — we can’t afford any more George Floyds."
