The Hill reports on Philonise Floyd’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee:
Some Republicans said the tempered tenor of Wednesday’s hearing was no accident. “We’ve spent a lot of time on our side, amongst Republicans, talking about the importance of tone and the importance of civility and showing a conciliatory face on this, because … this is one of the issues on which we all agree,” said Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.), a member of the Judiciary Committee. “What happened to George Floyd is an atrocity,” he added. “We have to make sure it doesn’t happen in the future, and we have to use this opportunity to address the core, root problems which are underneath all of that.”
