"The image of Derek Chauvin staring straight into the camera as George Floyd died under his knee haunts me to this day. The injustice of his killing is undeniable. And so is the fact that systemic racism continues to plague America."

"Today's verdict gives me hope that we can strive for a justice system in our nation that is applied equally to all. As @JudiciaryDems Chair, I have the forum to help move our nation nearer to that goal. To that end, the Committee will hold a hearing next month on police reform."

"I know today's ruling provides only a small measure of comfort to the Floyd family. His loss will be forever felt. We will honor George Floyd's memory by continuing the fight for racial justice."
