A condolence phone call from President Donald Trump ended up frustrating George Floyd’s brother, who said Trump “didn’t give [him] the opportunity to even speak.”
Floyd’s brother George died Monday during an arrest by white police officers in Minneapolis.
The call with Trump was “so fast,” Floyd told the Rev. Al Sharpton on “Politics Nation.”
George Floyd, who was Black, died after police Officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck for several minutes while an unarmed Floyd was restrained and held on the ground.
“They all need to be convicted of first-degree murder and given the death penalty,” Philonise Floyd told Sharpton.
