Look.... the media has been in full propaganda mode and doing their best at creating division and pitting people at one another across the board...and always with the ultimate goal of destroying Trump by creating havoc around him. They love to create emotional reactions in the public because they know in doing so strong emotions interfers with critical thinking....and is the enemy of logic.
Pelosi is known to speak really extreme things when she feels left out of the media loop....even stating that she does this when the media isn’t giving her the “fair” attention she thinks they should. Say or do something outlandish and the media comes running.
