“Staged? You’re nuts! All this did was make the libs look out of control.”
It’s a tactic the Left uses to get attention. They did the same to Cantor just before he was ousted. What you need to look at is the circumstances surrounding the ‘protest’.
In this case, how did several dozen crappily-dressed Illegals manage to get into a press conference featuring the leading Democrat in the country? Likewise, roughly the same number of Illegals managed to stage a ‘sit-in’ at Cantor’s DC office...try that and see how far you get...and cameras just happened to be rolling too.
I’m not sure the tactic works - in Cantor’s case, they were trying to make him look tough on Illegal Immigration, to keep him from being ousted over it...but thankfully his constituents didn’t buy it. Here, I’m not sure, but they may be trying to make Pelosi also ‘look tough’ so that whatever she agrees to doesn’t look like a sell-out to Trump.
The lib media would have to be part of this and run with it for days and it’s not happening.
While nothing is impossible your theory is a bit too tinfoil hat for me.
