Cardi B and Tomi Lahren clash over protest in Minnesota

Rapper Cardi B has clashed with American commentator Tomi Lahren over the protests rocking Minnesota in reaction to the death of George Floyd.

Floyd is believed to have been killed by four cops due to the way they handled him while trying to restrain him for arrest.

This has led to a spark of protests in Minnesota which has resulted in the looting of shops and stores in neighbourhoods.

Tomi Lahren tweeted: “How does looting, rioting and destroying your OWN community bring justice for anyone?”

Cardi B reacted: “How does targeting, profilin,beating and murdering black men with no consequence equal serving and protecting? Who’s giving them justice and trust on cops ? Mind your business and eat your salad!”

Meanwhile, George Floyd’s fiancee has begged protesters to forgive the cop involved in his death.

“You know, if he was here, he would say that he’s a man of God. He would stand on that firmly,” Ross said.

“He stood up for people, he was there for people when they were down, he loved people that were thrown away,” Ross added.

“We prayed over every meal, we prayed if we were having a hard time, we prayed if we were having a good time.”

Ross went on to advise the community to honour Floyd in a way he would respect.

“You can’t fight fire with fire. Everything just burns, and I’ve seen it all day, people hate, they’re hating, they’re hating, they’re mad. And he would not want that. He wouldn’t, he wouldn’t, he wouldn’t. He would give grace. I stand on that today. He would still give grace to those people,” she said.
