They conveyed that to me on the phone, but they\u2019ve conveyed it all along,\u201d Pelosi continued.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This argument is utterly devoid of any logic or reason, and is demonstrative of either Pelosi\u2019s ignorance or complete moral depravity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>What is the position she\u2019s taking? That Floyd willingly gave his life? That would seem to contradict the murder charges leveled against Derek Chauvin \u2014 murder charges she presumably endorses? Is she saying that Floyd was willingly murdered? Surely not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Therefore, Pelosi must be arguing that Floyd sacrificed his life in return for something, while arrogantly viewing the involuntary nature of this supposed \u201csacrifice\u201d as irrelevant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>What makes Pelosi\u2019s statement so completely inane is that the \u201cjustice\u201d achieved is directly associated with the determined crime committed against Floyd in the first place. According to Pelosi, Floyd sacrificed himself so that Derek Chauvin could be found guilty of enacting Floyd\u2019s sacrifice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This bizarre circular logic is both meaningless by any possible metric, and implies that the value of Floyd\u2019s life is outweighed by the political implications of the \u201cjustice\u201d his death made possible. In other words, in Pelosi\u2019s eyes, Floyd is effectively worth more dead than alive \u2014 an appalling way to view any human being.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Ultimately, there is nothing more valuable than life, and life is obviously more valuable than achieving \u201cjustice\u201d solely in the form of punishing the person accused of destroying that life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Given the choice between dying and having Chauvin in prison, or living and not having Chauvin in jail, it appears that Pelosi is arguing that the former option beats the latter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>An argument which makes no sense whatsoever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Ian Haworth is an Editor and Writer for The Daily Wire.
