Vice President Kamala Harris attended the funeral of Tyre Nichols, the 29-year-old FedEx worker who died three days after a violent interaction with police.
Harris was invited to the Memphis, Tennessee, funeral during her phone call with the victim’s mother RowVaughn Wells on Jan. 31, according to family attorney Ben Crump’s statement to NBC News.
“Vice President Harris and Ms. Wells spoke exclusively, and during this emotional time, the Vice President was able to console Ms. Wells and even help her smile,” Crump said in a statement to the outlet.
Nichols’s family also told reporters that Tamika Taylor, mother of Breonna Taylor, who died in an encounter with police three years ago in her Kentucky home, and Philonise Floyd, the brother of George Floyd, would also be attending the funeral….
