Amy Coney Barrett calls George Floyd video ‘very personal’ for her family

October 13, 2020

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) used his time questioning Amy Coney Barrett to touch on a big topic in America and the law: racism.

During her Tuesday confirmation hearing, Durbin asked Barrett whether she had seen the video of George Floyd’s death at the hands of Minneapolis police, and how it affected her. “Given that I have two Black children, that was very, very personal for my family,” Barrett responded, referring to her two children adopted from Haiti.

Barrett’s husband Jesse had taken her boys on a camping trip, but Barrett was home with her 17-year-old daughter Vivian, who is Black, as “all of this was erupting,” she said. “It was very difficult for her; we wept together in my room,” Barrett continued. “To understand there would be a risk to her brother or the sons she might have one day, of that kind of brutality, has been an ongoing conversation.”
