“painting a house” in this context means blowing someone’s brains and blood all over a room.
The fact that she said this is...startling.
IIRC, she’s 3rd or 4th generation Mafioso that’s been largely in charge of California for a very long time.
Look, I can’t stand Pelosi, but I don’t think she was suggesting an assassination. She was just trying to to ridiculously imply that Trump was acting like mafia when he asked the Ukraine president for a favor.
I would not be surprised to learn she was pushing for assassination, but she is not dumb enough to say it in a public setting.
She has made a number of similarly startling statements since gaining the House gavel. She has claimed to be as powerful as the president; she has said that those not voting Dem will pay a price; of course she has charged POTUS with various treasons; she has claimed credit for USMCA!
Either she has gone around the bend or she has some fiendish plot afoot to consolidate her thrust for power.
