"I don't have a lot to say, because I can't get my words together right now," Washington said tearfully from the podium. "But I want everybody to know that this is what those officers took. At the end of the day, they get to go home and be with their families." "Gianna does not have a father," she continued. "He will never see her grow up, graduate, he will never walk her down the aisle."
"If there's a problem she's having and she needs her dad, she does not have that anymore," Washington said, crying. "I'm here for my baby, and I'm here for George. Because I want justice for him. I want justice for him 'cause he was good. No matter what anybody thinks, he was good.""It really don't make no sense," Jackson, who was, said, taking the podium from Washington and promising her that he will be there for her and Gianna.
Miller said elsewhere during the press conference that Washington was speaking out to "show the world that George Floyd is not just a name, not just a meme and not just something to be chanted."
