On Wednesday, Democrat Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib took to the floor to deliver a glowing tribute to George Floyd, who had a well-documented criminal history. She painted him as an upstanding citizen and emphatically declared that he should still be alive today.
Contrary to Tlaib’s portrayal, Floyd was known for his struggles with drug addiction and his criminal activities. His tragic end does not erase those realities.
Tlaib took her sentiments to Twitter stating, “George Floyd should be alive today. It’s not enough to honor his life with words, we must honor his life with action.Four years later, we are still demanding that Congress pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.”
She doesn’t mention the fact that he had three times the lethal dose of fentanyl in his body at the time of his death.
George Floyd was a drug addict that died in the hands of Police of an overdose. He swallowed a mouthful of drugs when he knew police were going to arrest him. He was a convict and shouldn’t be honored in any way. May he rest in peace.

It’s high time these liberal politicians focus their attention on issues that truly warrant it rather than promoting narratives that overlook facts and reality. Is it because they can’t handle the truth or is it simply easier for them to ignore it?
He was a violent Felon that held a knife to pregnant woman and robbed a store. He died of a Fentanyl overdose. You a race baiter and a liar.
