So you just tell me here and now what you think House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi has done to deserve your disrespect. The insurrectionist mob hunted the hallways for her, calling her name in mocking tones. One female said on camera that she wanted to find Pelosi and drag her from the building by her hair. One male said he wanted to put a bullet through her brain. They were quite serious about decapitating the line of succession gibbet erected for the VP, plans to murder the Speaker on sight.
I saw this part unfold from my living-room, didnt you?
Out of sight, the Speaker of the House was working the phones from her secure location, doing everything she could to get hold of the National Guard, among other things. This is on film from a documentarian who happened to be following her around that day thinking it would be a normal-enough changing of the guard after a contentious election, but getting instead an insurrection.
When her home was invaded and her husband got slammed in the head with a hammer, the assassin was looking for the Speaker, intending to kneecap her, so shed go back to the House in a wheelchair.
Thats just from Trumps prior term. Before Trump there was a decades-long GOP history of making her the bogeyman from San Francisco rather like Hillary Clinton being turned into a she-demon. Its what the GOP does to Democratic women. Its what they do. You really want to take part in that?
Dont hold yourself back. Tell us all.
