Congressional Democrats wore a traditional African cloth to announce sweeping legislation on Monday that aims to increase the accountability of police officers.

The Democrats wore Kente cloth stoles handed out by the Congressional Black Caucus and knelt on the floor of the U.S. Capitol Visitors Center for eight minutes and 46 seconds — the time police officer Derek Chauvin's knee was on the neck of George Floyd — before a press conference announcing the proposed "Justice in Policing Act."

Talk about Cultural Appropriation!

What a pack of clowns. All they are missing is the tiny car that they all climb out of to pull their CRAP!

Then they re-enacted killing George Floyd for 8 minutes.

God that was stupid.

Quite stupid of them to wear a scarf that was historically worn by affluent African slave owners and traders. Why would they want to give attention to that group of people or to even wear something carries such significance? I struggle to see why they say nothing about the defacing or destruction of America's monuments but then wear a scarf that was only worn by elite African slave traders. This drips with hypocrisy.
