Not helping: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez explains why Derek Chauvin's conviction is not justice

Democrats are all over the place Tuesday evening with their reactions to Derek Chauvin being found guilty of murder and manslaughter in the case of George Floyd. Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that not only had Floyd sacrificed himself for justice but that his name would “always be synonymous for justice.” Like Vice President Kamala Harris, though, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was on the train that said that despite the verdict, justice had not been served — nothing like throwing some more gasoline on the fire.

Maybe President Biden will make his statement tonight and say that justice was served.
