Statement from RCDP Regarding Both the Pelosi and the Nichols Video Releases
For Immediate Release
01/28/2023
Riverside, CA— 01/28/2023 — Yesterday, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, two horrific videos, that of the October 2022 attack on Paul Pelosi by a right-wing extremist, and the other the murder of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the Memphis Police, were released to the public.
