https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/30/politics/george-floyd-brother-talks-trump/index.htmlSpeaking to MSNBC's Al Sharpton, George's brother, Philonise Floyd, said his conversation with President Trump was "so fast."
"He didn't give me an opportunity to even speak," Floyd said. "It was hard. I was trying to talk to him, but he just kept, like, pushing me off, like 'I don't want to hear what you're talking about.'
"And I just told him, I want justice. I said that I couldn't believe that they committed a modern-day lynching in broad daylight," he said.

I am so sorry for Philonise Floyd. It was adding insult to injury. I feel terribly sorry for that family. I can't imagine how heartbroken they must feel.

Why did he bother even making the call?

That's why. Somebody on his campaign team thought it was a good idea. Malignant narcissists should never be required to do any of this stuff. They're incapable of it.

No one had ever seen anything like it.

(48,721 posts)Trump just wanted to check off a call as quickly as possible so the WH could boast that he'd done the same.
