Pelosi: 'I thank God that former President Trump is safe'

Source: The Hill

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said that “political violence of any kind has no place in our society” after apparent shots were fired at former President Trump’s rally in Butler, Pa., on Saturday.

“As one whose family has been the victim of political violence, I know firsthand that political violence of any kind has no place in our society,” Pelosi said in a post on X, referring to the attack on her husband, Paul Pelosi, at their San Francisco home two years ago.

“I thank God that former President Trump is safe,” Pelosi said. “As we learn more details about this horrifying incident, let us pray that all those in attendance at the former President’s rally today are unharmed.”

Of course, we all remember how Trump mocked the hammer attack on Pelosi's husband in a speech.

Trump said he would “stand up to crazy Nancy Pelosi“ if reelected president, asking a crowd of supporters, “How’s her husband doing by the way?” and saying a “wall around her house” didn’t do a “good job” of protecting her 82-year-old husband from an intruder who fractured his skull with a hammer during a break-in last year—prompting laughter from the crowd.

The former president baselessly called California’s election “rigged” and said he wants to liberate the state from “communist rule,” later saying organized retail thefts in the state could be addressed by shooting looters as they leave stores.

The former president also said he’d “direct a completely overhauled” Justice Department to investigate every “radical” district attorney and attorney general for their “racist and reverse enforcement of the law.”

Trump, referring to his recent indictments, mocked President Joe Biden, saying, “Let’s indict the mother******,” suggesting the president uses indictments as a means of destroying the credibility of those he doesn’t like or those polling higher than him, even though his federal charges were brought by an independent prosecutor.

His delegates are hardcore MAGA. They detest her, and would have likely gone to DeSantis or even Vance.

This is the difference between the cons and libs: We can look at something, know it happened to us or someone we love, and not want it to happen to anyone else (even the person who mocked her misfortune and terrifying experience).

The southern phrase “Well bless your heart.” A part of me knows Nancy’s intelligence puts her is a position to lace her comments with messages to her people.
