House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ended up mixing up names on Friday as she declared a Democratic bill in the House on police reform that had been named after George Floyd, to be worthy of 'George Kirby's name.' George Kirby was a black comedian and singer who was popular in the 60s and 70s who passed away in 1995. 'So Nancy Pelosi referred to George Floyd as 'George Kirby' and Chuck Schumer called him 'Floyd Taylor' and 'George Taylor,'' tweeted Matt Wolking, deputy director of communications at the Trump campaign. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer referred to him as Floyd Taylor on Wednesday, mixing up the names of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, although he immediately corrected himself. On Thursday, the House passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.
