The members-only joint posted a statement signed by its chief executive officer Jean Low yesterday acknowledging the Sunday evening incident. “At our pub quiz, a question was asked about the trial of Derek Chauvin and the length of time he had his knee on George Floyd’s neck. “This question was insensitive and inappropriate. The very mention of this subject matter was completely out of line and showed a serious lack of judgment.Floyd’s death sparked a flurry of Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 after former cop Chauvin was filmed kneeling on the back of his neck for more than nine minutes.
Low extended an apology to the public and said that 1880 is taking steps to “re-establish trust” following the gaffe.
Totally insensitive, what next questions about holocaust victims ?
