George Floyd's brother says Donald Trump barely let him speak during their conversation

"I can imagine how many people they did like that. I don't need them on the streets to kill anybody else.

Philonise Floyd spoke to MSNBC anchor and prominent African-American activist Al Sharpton about his brother's death and the response to it, saying"It was so fast. He didn't give me an opportunity to even speak," he said. "I was trying to talk to him but he just kept pushing me off like 'I don't want to hear what you're talking about'.

Yep, it is always about Trump. Pure narcissistic sociopath.

Donald Trump allows ARMED MILITIA with AUTOMATIC WEAPONS to commandeer government buildings to open up the country. WITHOUT RESPONSE. He calls in the National guard to respond against PEOPLE USING THEIR VOICE. Then send your TRUMP EXTREMISTS to inflame TERRORIST TRUMP.

From China Network News via ABC. Nothing to see here. Well maybe this:

So...that’s enough about Me; now let’s talk about Me.

My heart is breaking for the Floyd family, I cannot imagine their pain . Bad things happen when good people do nothing. We pray for a better world where everyone is equal😔 Trump is a narcissistic, egotistical madman, he doesn’t care about ANYONE.

First his brother is murdered, then he has to endure a call from demented Donny

Just because news reports may challenge our beliefs doesn’t mean its fake! We need to check the rigor of the report before making such decisions - otherwise our misjudgement is the Fake news!

A Democrat of course. ABC dividing USA. AGAIN. It’s like they Revel in this.

fakenewsabc

Your headlines are remarkably transparent.

Unfortunately TheirABC cannot report anything on America without their blind and unhinged hatred of President Trump getting in the way. Why are taxpayers funding this leftist dribble dresssed up as news. Pathetic!

He doesn't deserve to be the President!

Hooray! Go trumpy!

ABC's political agenda isn't hard to spot. ABCFakeNews DefundABC

Trump show failed after brother tell the truth

I would have hung up

Where is Payne's mouth now? Why AU gov not expressing concerns to US about its descent into anarchy, about rascism in US? Where are AU objections to using Military against civilian protests? Payne would be frothing at the mouth if this was happening in China....why so silent now?

This guy wants all four police officers executed. He sounds rational.

Absolutely painfull, critical and world wide viewing. 😥✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿thats the first time I’ve sen his brother speak since he had a phone call from the Trump(orange). Biden spoke to him and days earlier!!

Omg.. this guy is the problem for all current issues.. arrest him for instigating the violence and put him behind the bars for life!

Sounds about right

And that's what the ABC chooses to focus on. The ABC is shit.

GrOT80s That’s because he doesn’t care. He did what he was pressured to do after Biden called them. He probably had a script written for him. He’s incapable of caring about what happened to George Floyd, I’ll tell you why. Trump doesn’t give a 💩 how many George Floyd’s die. It’s true.

ABC YOU’RE SO DISGUSTING. WHY DO YOU CONSTANTLY PROMOTE HATE AND DIVISION? I can’t wait for your demise.

Not ALL racist are Trump supporters. BUT all Trump supporters are racist.

Have you all seen the pic of this murderous policeman sharing an election podium with DT. An evil follower.

Trump was just being himself!!

Did Donald really expect any other reaction than more division fueled narrative?

Lucky you got a call at all....was it reverse charge from a gaol

is on track to becoming the next CNN

Fake news fuckoffABC

I wonder.. does the ABC have some affiliation with the Democrat Party in America we know Labor does with Bernie Sanders. I don't recall EVER seeing an analysis from them about the Killary Dossier, or Haiti, or the Russia hoax, or Benghazi, or Obama's links to the Mullah..

Of course...it’s just a publicity and you have no chance to speak freely...

What a surprise calls George Floyd's family to offer his condolences, ends up posing & rambling on. Sorry for your loss 🤦‍♂️

Not surprised. Trump would have been reading off a memo. He would want it to be all about him.

The fake news ABC is a Trump hater. Never seen one positive story yet. Defund The ABC

Orange man....bad

Akin to be a Labor politician on Insiders.

Well he is the greatest talker. The best. The greatest. Nobody talks better than him.

That’s cause trump only cares about trump. He’s not listening to anyone else except the monkeys in his head.

Yeah because that’s really what this is all about isn’t you trouble causing propaganda spouting ABC!

Terrible stuff.

It is this standard of journalism that is responsible for the race division and violence we are witnessing in the US. DefundTheABC

...Shorten did that to me too, shook my hand, thanked me and walked off as I was responding.

Why does this not surprise me 🙄

Not surprised Trump makes everything all about him, Obama would have listened.

😢💔🙏🏼

More anti Trump rubbish from the ABC.

ABC and the hatred of Trump FFS.

I'm sure it was PR PR PR - all about Himself - I, I, I, Me, Me, Me. So sorry you had to endure that after such a terrible loss. Pray all those ex Police Officers are arrested! 💔🙏🙏🙏💗💗💗💗💗

Bahabaha msnbc are such a great source of information. Fakenews

OUT OF CONTROL LOOTERS, TROUBLE MAKERS, INCITING RIOTS. MEDIA CONTRIBUTE WITH BIAS REPORTING NO SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY, NO ACCOUNTABILITY, , MEDIA STOP SPREADING HATE AND ANGER, DEMOCRATS ACCEPT THEY LOST THE 2016 ELECTION, THEN THE COUNTRY WOULD BE AT PEACE

ScottMorrisonMP condemn trump or resign !

TYPICAL ABC, MEDIA MAIN PART OF THE PROBLEM, HAVE YOU EVER REPORTED ANYING POSITIVE ON PRESIDENT TRUMP'S GOVT, ABC SAME AS CNN, DISGRACEFUL FAKE NEWS, JUST ALWAYS NEGATIVE, OUT OF CONTROL MEDIA INFLAMING PROBLEMS, MEDIA ARE THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IN THE US ,

Trump: “It was a beautiful conversation, a perfect conversation...”

ABC still suffering from Trump derangement syndrome.

No surprises. Trump is a narcissist. I'm sure what he said was entirely self-serving.

''i cant talk''

Fck the trolls are hijacking every abc post today🙄

Trump is a monster and a massive failure

IPA trollbots out in full force in the comments

Here we go. Instead of condemning or even just covering the radical socialist violence burning US city after US city, the ABC work in some Trump angle.. no idea how ABC types sleep at night.. mjrowland68 ItaButtrose

FGS a Troll

Whoa-ho-ho the trolls are having an EPIC meltdown over this one! Look at the little pissbabies!

DianneCostin That’s because it’s all about him

Trump was probably preoccupied trying to find a way to pin the blame on President Obama

Geez rotten lamestream media just wants to drag this issue as long as possible and cause more pain, violence & chaos! What a disgrace.....

Democrat cities and democrat voters destroying their own country. Looting businesses and hurting ppl has nothing to do with Floyd's death.. Disgusting events and expectedly Disgusting reporting by the leftist ABC

Ah, that's that Trump brand care factor there. Bloody hell...

This would be entirely unsurprising.

The ABC barely lets an opposing view speak

What's the problem? The ABC reporting the truth (for once). Personally, one would have hung up!

Who gives a shit ?

Unfortunately it wasn't a call of sincere condolences...We know him...America is sorry😪

Pretty standard practice for Trump. He's very uncomfortable when other people are talking. Which I guess is appropriate as the feeling is very much mutual.

Breaking FakeNews ABC posts negative story about realDonaldTrump AGAIN!!!

It’s insulting to be obliged to take a condolence call from an extreme narcissist who you know would never be capable of expressing genuine sympathy for you or your family. I would have refused.

...FAKE NEWS...for gods sake defund the ABC...make them earn their pay and move it to a subscription service....

Of course not, he was just ticking a box

This is only the start of it ABC. We have another 6 months at least until the election is done. What's going to happen when Trump's back is firmly against the wall? A distraction in the form of war with China for his own survival? Australia should reject th G7 until Trump goes.

The anti-Trump ABC at it again.

Of course, the only person Trump care about is himself 🤷‍♂️ BlackLivesMatter TrumpResignNow

Countdown to trump bitching about this on Twitter

Has the ABC ever said anything that portrayed Trump in a positive light?

Yeah but we all already know trump is a fvking asshat that loves the sound of his own voice. I have no clue why they would even talk to the POTUS. It was never gonna fix things no matter who was in that oval office. Why? because politicians suck. It's on their resume.

I smell a distraction

Not surprising considering Trump was probably shitting himself in fear that the guy might say something unflattering about him.
