Trump: Attack on Paul Pelosi a 'terrible thing'

[brooklynite]

The Hill

Former President Trump in an interview Sunday called the attack on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) husband in their San Francisco home a “terrible thing” as he railed against crime in Democrat-led cities.

“With Paul Pelosi, that’s a terrible thing, with all of them it’s a terrible thing,” Trump said in an interview with Americano Media, a conservative Spanish language outlet. “Look at what’s happened to San Francisco generally. Look at what’s happening in Chicago. It was far worse than Afghanistan.”

“We have to give the police back their dignity, their respect. They can solve the problem. But today if a police officer says something that’s slightly out of line it’s like the end of his life, the end of his pension, the end of his family,” Trump continued. “We can’t do that. We have to give the police back their authority and their power and their respect. Because this country is out of control.”

Trump remained silent on the attack on Paul Pelosi over the weekend, as others in the GOP sent mixed messages about it. Many Democrats, including President Biden, called for members of both parties to unequivocally condemn the attack as they worried about a rise in political violence.

1. What he meant, "it's a terrible thing the attack was unsuccessful." His hate rhetoric says it all.

7. I think you're right.

It's "terrible" to him because they didn't get her.

He will never forget this:

2. So he's turning it into a random crime for his "American carnage" narrative.

Just like he's acted like Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a "terrible thing," but basically along the lines of a natural disaster.

3. By all accounts

this was a politically motivated attack, so his argument doesn't make any sense.

4. Arsonist

says fire on property that he set is unfortunate.

5. Is that what all those guys with the Trump flags were doing at the capitol on January 6th?

Giving "the police back their dignity?"

6. This only happened because we have been soft on trump's crimes

8. No shit. They all should have been locked up.

9. They complain about criminals out on bail, yet Steve Bannon walks around free

10. He did NOT remain silent. This photo was on his page soon after

the attack and it was clear the attacker was a QAnon nut.

WWG1WGA is the message.

11. Police have to earn respect, and I don't favor giving them any more power or less regulation.
