Five Democrat senators knelt during a moment of silence for George Floyd — a black man who recently died in police custody in Minneapolis — on Capitol Hill Friday afternoon.

Sens. Tim Kaine (D-VA), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), Michael Bennet (D-CO) knelt during the tribute, which lasted for eight minutes and 46 seconds, the length of time that video showed fired Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin pressing his knee on Floyd’s neck before he died. Chauvin faces a second-degree murder charge over the incident.

During the event, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) delivered remarks about Floyd’s life.

“Today we gather here in solemn reverence to not just mark his tragic death but to give honor to his life,” Booker stated, according to The Hill. “George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor. May we honor those dead by protecting all who are alive.”

Speaking to reporters afterward, Booker said the moment of silence was a “very painful moment

“They, like so many Americans, want to do something,” said the New Jersey Democrat. “And we all know we’re all working on legislation but the conversations that led to this was because people feel, in my opinion, that we need to do more.”

“For all of us, this would be a moment of solidarity and sort of sharing common spirited grief so it was very moving to me to see everyone,” he added.

Floyd’s family praised him as a “powerful man” who “would stand up for injustice anywhere” during his memorial Thursday in Minneapolis.

The service, which was broadcast on television and live-streamed online, began at 1 p.m. at the North Central University sanctuary.

George Floyd’s brother, Philonise Floyd, described his brother as “powerful” and said he “had a way with words.”

“Guys that was doing drugs, smokers and homeless people — you couldn’t tell because when you spoke to George, they felt … like they were the president, because that is how he made you feel.

“Every day, he walks outside, there’d be a line of people, just like when we came in, wanting to greet him and wanting to have fun with him.”

His younger brother, Rodney Floyd, said George Floyd taught him how to be a man.

George Floyd “was doing the best that he can and the mistakes that he made and watching him, correcting myself as a teenager growing up. And learning from him how to be a man.”

He “would stand up for injustice anywhere.”

Al Sharpton and Ben Crump, the civil rights attorney representing Floyd’s family, also eulogized Floyd.

Let's Go Brandon!
Dayum, just dayum.

Honouring a POS criminal African.

Next will be the demand, that a statue of George Floyd,
be put up in place of all the Confederate statues,
that are going to be torn down.

IMHO, I do not think that the ZUSA will make it to the
November 2020 elections.

The POS damocraps want their country back,
and it is quite obvious, that they are willing to
lock down, and burn down the country,
in order to regain control, which sadly, I am believing
more so with each passing day, that they will regain control.

Pandering to what is still their largest voting block,
the POS Africans, and getting the POS Africans back
to the polls, will give them their control,
which they will never loose again, simply due to demographics.

Remember, Virginia is now their template, and several states,
first up will be North Carolina, are going to go deep dark blue.

Please be safe everyone.

Regards to all.

Faithful Steed
All this and Virtue Signal too - at Taxpayer Expense.

I really want a "trademark" - I still haven't figured out how to do it.
