Speaker Nancy Pelosi will unveil a sweeping police reform bill next week, her announcement coming just hours after the top House Republican signaled Thursday that he is open to working with Democrats, raising new hopes for a bipartisan congressional response to the killing of George Floyd and the national upheaval that followed.
"I believe this is a moment for us,” McCarthy said during a press call with reporters. “I hope that, in this moment in time, Congress rises to the occasion. Because I will tell you, from the [lawmakers] that I have talked to on both sides of the aisle, there’s a great desire to do that.” “I do not believe anybody should be judged by the color of their skin,” McCarthy said, “and we should not judge all just by the color of their uniform.”
Some Republicans, including the GOP’s sole black lawmaker, retiring Rep. Will Hurd of Texas, have signaled they could get behind a proposal to reform “qualified immunity” for police. That legal doctrine has often shielded officers from civil lawsuits from victims of police brutality or their families.
