‘I want to just… create the affirmation that this isn’t justice!’
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) addressed the guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial on social media and declared that it wasn’t enough, nor was it justice in her opinion.
Ocasio-Cortez took to her Instagram account Tuesday to post a 16-minute video from outside the U.S. Capitol.
“I want to just let you all know and create the affirmation that this isn’t justice, it’s not justice!” she declared.
“It’s not justice, and I’ll explain to you why it’s not justice. It’s not justice because justice is George Floyd going home tonight to be with his family,” she added.
“Justice is Adam Toledo getting tucked in by his mom tonight,” she continued, referring to a 13-year-old who was shot and killed by a police officer in Chicago after the teen threw a gun to the ground.
“Justice is when you’re pulled over, there not being a gun that’s part of that interaction, because you have a headlight out,” she added.
