The House held a moment of silence on Tuesday commemorating NBA star Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna, who died in a helicopter crash on Sunday.
Rep. Maxine Waters called for the moment of silence on the floor, highlighting Bryant’s career and noting the devotion of his fans.
“Mr. Speaker, I stand today on behalf of all Californians and certainly the entire city of Los Angeles and millions of fans worldwide who are mourning the sudden and tragic loss of one of the greatest athletes we have ever known, Kobe Bryant,” she said.
“Celebrated as a king in Los Angeles, Kobe’s death is deeply painful for our city and his millions of fans everywhere,” she added.

If the House holds a moment of silence for a player, he obviously had connections with some insiders. Which Deep State / CIA criminal needed to get rid of him and bombed his plane out? (This is typical how Hillary used to get her people out of the way.)

They had a moment of silence because of what a mench he was! Shame you can’t see that. RIP Kobe.
They had a moment of silence because of what a mench he was on the court, and in the streets. Shame you cant see this.
just because Kobe Bryant wasn’t Jewish, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have respect for him and his daughter.
I have just watched his short animated “Dear Basketball” and am in awe of his passion and self-sacrifice.
We should also be grateful for all the young people he inspires to play basketball.
