A group of hecklers angrily confronted House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi during a campaign stop for a congressional hopeful in South Florida, cursing at her and calling her a communist in a moment that was captured on video, the Washington Post reports.
It was yet another incident which stoked fears that the countrys bitter and emotional political environment is at risk of leading to violence.

That's weird.
She's too socialist for some & not enough socialist for some others that want to see Pelosi out.
Apparently both sides agree on one thing though.
Pelosi's powerful position & her years of experience in knowing how to wield that power is a threat to an oddly united agenda.
Crazy ain't it!
Ha! Go figure

(1,406 posts)Pelosi is right where she's always been.
In the center & as Speaker, at the top.

These are nothing more than organized violent mobs directed by the GOP. The very things the GOP accuses we do is what they are currently doing.

(6,831 posts)It was a violent mob of RW-republican men. Screaming, swearing, pounding on the door. How terrifying it must have been for those inside. Can you just imagine what would have happened if that door had not been dead-bolted from the inside ? The fact that Miami GOP leaders were in the front of that mob is something that should be shouted from the roof tops.
Republicans -- are you condoning this violent pack mentality ??
Everyone knows where this is leading.
FFS, GOP -- grow a pair and denounce this behavior before someone gets killed. Oooops. Sorry. Someone already has.
Heather Heyer RIP

(33,342 posts)If liberals protest, it's a mob.
If cons protest, it's a group of hecklers.
Heckle and Jeckle, such cute cartoons.
Lynch mobs, an evil stain on history.

(10,156 posts)If you don't know what that is. It's the newest right-wing meme of calling liberals automatons for spouting the same words over and over. They love protecting their own ways onto others.
