Pelosi promises equal justice agenda at Texas Democrats' virtual convention

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi closed out the Friday night general session of Texas Democrats’ virtual state convention with a four-minute speech that focused on the dark days the nation is living through and the importance of Texas in securing the party’s grip on Congress.

“We come together at a very difficult time for our country,” Pelosi said in remarks recorded in front of a U.S. Capitol backdrop.

“Across America, peaceful protesters are grieving for the murder of George Floyd and all the innocent Americans killed in a pattern of racial injustice and police brutality,” the speaker said. “As we pray for the family of George Floyd, we pray for healing in our nation. And healing must begin with real leadership backed up by real action.”
