Minnesota Republicans distance themselves from "moment of silence" for Derek Chauvin at state convention

Attorneys Ben Crump and Antonio Romanucci, who represented the family of Floyd, called the moment of silence an "immoral act," and called for a retraction and apology on Tuesday morning.

"The audacity of the Minnesota Republican Party to honor an individual who has both been convicted by a jury of his peers for the murder of a fellow human being, while at the same time violated a professional oath to protect and serve his community, is disgusting," they said in a statement. "As the legal team who fought for civil justice for George Floyd and systemic legislative change to improve policing in his name, we are sickened by this lack of respect and urge all who planned and participated in this tribute to deeply reflect on the rule of law."
