Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday joined a crowd of demonstrators outside the Capitol protesting police brutality toward black Americans following the death of George Floyd, an unarmed Minneapolis man who died in police custody.
Pelosi wore a mask and was accompanied by her usual entourage of staff and members of her security detail while walking through the crowd, which a spokesman confirmed was on the Capitol's east front.

Pelosi's show of solidarity with the protesters comes as House Democrats weigh legislative options for responding to the public outrage over the recent string of deaths of unarmed black Americans.
Her appearance also comes two days after law enforcement cleared away protesters outside the White House on Monday night with tear gas to make a path for President Trump to hold a brief photo opportunity outside St. John Church after it had been vandalized.
