Press Release
LOS ANGELES - Today, Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.) issued the following statement on social media regarding the murder of George Floyd.

"This video shows George Floyd being slowly murdered by a police officer while a crowd of people watch. It’s consistent with US history. Black lives didn’t matter when our ancestors were enslaved. Black lives didn’t matter as we were lynched. We could not breathe on the boats. We could not breathe under trees. We cannot breathe with knees on our necks."
