Minnesotans whose loved ones were killed by police condemn state GOP for praying for Derek Chauvin

Minnesota residents with loved ones killed by police condemned the state Republican Party for holding a moment of silence for Derek Chauvin, who is in federal prison for George Floyd's murder. Valerie Castile, mother of Philando Castile, criticized the gesture as hurtful, while the GOP stated the action was spontaneous and not part of their official program. Racial justice groups and officials, including Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, denounced the moment as disrespectful to Floyd and his family.
