Rep. Demings: ‘You Better Believe’ Chauvin Conviction Gets The Attention Of Officers | The Last Word
Go get um Rep Demmings! The people for TRUTH and DEMOCRACY are BEHIND YOU!
Agreed. So glad she represents my home state of Florida.
I certainly hope it gets their attention. We are depending on law enforcement to be part of the solution. Commitment to ethics and morality belong front and center in the minds of all public servants.
They are just quiting. Honestly, if an officer can’t use deadly force in defense of a civilian who is in the process of being murdered, when can they use deadly force?
@bryanatwku
Right wing disinformation and hate speech troll ! !
Go Rep Demmings! Proudly representing my home state of Florida.
Yup, her next title will be Senator Demings, to replace the clown Marco Rubio.
I hope you know how much I appreciate you Congresswoman Demings for standing up to the bully Jim Jordan!
@David Eby
Far-right hate spewing nut job.
TROLL ACCOUNT.
@GNR Forever Who was it that said”I don’t want my kids to grow up in a RACIAL JUNGLE”? That wouls be our racist Pres.Veggie Biden!! BOOYAH!!!
Gym shorts Jordan should be in prison.
@Timothy Johnson There are two kinds of Democrats. The ones who regret they voted for Veggie Biden and the ones who are ashamed to admit they regret voting for Veggie boi.
@David Eby That’s what I said about trump.
NICE WORK VAL THE GOOD PEOPLE OF AMERICA ARE WITH YOU .
This. I wanted her for Vice President, so badly. Her law enforcement background gives her a unique perspective that few others have. I think Harris will be really good, but I can’t help but think “what if.”
On the other hand, maybe Rep. Demmings is right where she’s needed most….. in a position to make some real change.
Representing FL is a very big job.
GOP are always silence when it comes to people who looks like them. When their LEADER left they should have packed up and left too.😂
Man, do I appreciate you congresswoman…just for being your consistently ethical self. Stay blessed as you obviously are.
Glad she stood up to Jim Jordan he is a Disrespectful individual
gym big lies jordan can’t hack the truth.. 💁🏼♀️glad you shut him down! 👏
Don’t they have a time out corner for the misbehaving toddlers in the House of Representatives? Gym Jordan might finally grow up and behave like a civilized human being if he were properly disciplined.
Great idea..of course for Jim Jordan he would be in that corner as long as Congress was in session😂
Yeah, she put that white boy down! What did she say?
Congresswoman, I gave you a standing ovation when you shut down gym Jordan.
I’m sure officer Kim potter is really worried after the conviction of Derek chauvin.
I would say all white officers are. That’s why they are all quitting and leaving Democrat areas.
No. FBI worried about the Capitol Riots actual supremacists dusting off their toys for main event this summer.
@bryanatwku
Right wing disinformation and hate speech troll ! !
she wont get much he ran from her unless we now let them go catch later
Val Demings has my attention: admireable all the way! 👊🏼 Greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱
Yup, she is focused, disciplined and ethical…the real deal.
Greetings from America!
Ty for your support!❤️
Jordan should wake up everyday remembering that there are millions more people who hate him, than there are people who love him.
I have great respect for the Congress lady Demings she’s a great leader, thank you my lady love you 🙏❤️🙏
I’m glad Chauvin was convicted, but nothing is settled if this just happens again a year from now.
@Tessmage Tessera, well the only thing I can say is “thank you George Floyd for sacrificing yourself”.
@bryanatwku
Right wing disinformation and hate speech troll ! !
@Reg U, I was just quoting Nancy Pelosi. Geeez! Take it up with her if you think it is offensive.
@bryanatwku Then post your “quote”.
It’s what people do when they are quoting.
im not convicted yes but not all that like 10 year
Fair play to val she put him in his place the mouth piece jim jordan 😂😂🇨🇮
“I HAVE the floor!”
It felt like she said “you shall not pass!”
What a breath of fresh air. Standing up for all speaking truth to power. Go Val 😃 Republicans no respect but disgrace
