Minnesota Issues Proclamation Making Saturday 'George Floyd Remembrance Day'

President Joe Biden has already sent out his memorial to George Floyd, posting a statement saying, "Today, I join all those who loved him and all those touched by the civil rights movement he inspired in remembering the tragedy and injustice of his death." Biden added, "He changed the world."

That was the take from the official @POTUS account. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi also remembered Floyd, saying, "We must honor his memory by passing Democrats' George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2024." Wow, not only does he get statues erected, he gets legislation named after him. What that legislation calls for we're not sure, but we must pass it to honor Floyd's memory.

We didn't realize an entire state was going to get involved, but Minnesota has released a proclamation declaring Saturday "George Floyd Remembrance Day." Here's Gov. Tim Walz:

On George Floyd Remembrance Day, we honor him and every person whose life has been cut short due to systems of racism and discrimination.

My administration remains committed to deconstructing generations of systemic racism and inequities in our state. pic.twitter.com/KX5T0osyeg

Wow. A governor proclaiming a Remembrance Day for a career criminal who died of a self-inflicted drug overdose.

I remember that George was a violent career criminal who held a gun on a pregnant woman and then died from a fentanyl overdose after passing counterfeit bills. The left couldn't love him any more, unless he was also a pedophile.
Why does the left celebrate degeneracy so much?

Minnesota just named today “George Floyd Remembrance Day”.

This country is so gone down the drain it’s not even funny. pic.twitter.com/gYkBnNr5tn

George Floyd was a convicted felon, a drug addict and a thug who held a gun to a pregnant woman while his friends robbed her.

He was no one to honor. He contributed NOTHING to society.

How dare you smear this memorial day where we honor fallen soldiers with this atrocity.

Well done, Minnesota

We're not going to honor Floyd today, but we will remember the kind of person he was. They've actually put up statues of George Floyd while tearing down or moving statues of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.
