Lawmakers Point Fingers After Attack On Pelosi's Husband

But there’s only one party that’s stoking violence. This is not “both sides”.

[hm-ysym]

We should care about this when politicians get rich off our hard earned money and we're subject to this violence on a daily basis ?

The Police Chief of San Francisco should release the officers body worn camera footage and any security camera footage at the Pelosi residence.

When I was growing up in a right wing family, mental health was considered a joke. So were womens rights. Nothing has changed. The right might talk about mental health but only to use it as a deflection tool, rather than to actually get on board helping people.

I hope both the Speaker of the House and her husband are kept safe and well

[tommyjohansen]

I will slow clap my hands together.hope this doesn't slow down their insider trading deals.

[davidrhinehart]

Even stevie wonder can see what really happened.

[richhauxwell]

How are Republicans responsible for these peoples sexual deviant behavior?

[finslaw]

Mental health is certainly to blame. And what messed with his head? Tucker, Faux, Trump and MAGA GOP.

[HumanityALL]

Maybe pointing out lies on GOP side and GOP needs to own the affects/consequences/effects!

*We all know his political affiliations*
Name ONE CONSERVATIVE that fits that bill...

[denniswinters]

I just love the way Republicans immediately blame " mental health issues, " totally ignoring the fact that Q-Anon IS a mental health issue !

[imogen]

Hey Kevin McCarthy, weren’t you the one that said “I want you to watch Nancy Pelosi hand me that gavel ... It’ll be hard not to hit her with it, ”?

[cachecow]

Did he really say "thoughts and prayers"?

[DB-xqyn]

"Thaughts and prayers". The GOP code words for "Aint gonna do nothing, cause I dont care".

[richardlarose]

We all know who and what is responsible

[roguedogx]

I'm glad Paul Pelosi is improving, it's messed up what happened to him.

[karlmahlmann]

All I want is the truth. Release the CCTV & Body Cam video ! - What they're telling us does not add up.

[uponcripplecreek]

Nobody can say this wasn’t completely predictable. It’s the republican plan.
