United States House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) condemned violent unrest during a Thursday speech on the House floor with the most forceful remarks she has delivered since nationwide uprisings began in May.
Pelosi said a Republican member had asked her, Where are you when youre talking about violence, this or that? She responded: Were there. We support peaceful demonstrations. We participate in them. They are part of the essence of our democracy. That does not include looting, starting fires, or rioting. They should be prosecuted. That is lawlessness.
President Donald Trump has attacked Democrats over the last several months for allegedly failing to take a strong enough stance against violence that has broken out at protests against police brutality over the summer. When is Slow Joe Biden going to criticize the Anarchists, Thugs & Agitators in ANTIFA? Trump wrote on Twitter last month.
Polling has suggested voter sentiment turning against Democrats and Black Lives Matter as a result of the unrest. A Pew survey released Wednesday found support for BLM fell 12 points over the summer, from 67 percent in June to 55 percent in September.

Shut up and get your own city cleaned up, lady!
After 4 months? Polling must be terrible for the Dems.

U.S. House of Congress Speaker Pelosi:
America is a republic, guaranteed in the Constitution of the United States of America.
Only the election of representatives and certain state initiatives are voted on democratically.
Please pay attention to the Pledge of Allegiance where it states “...and to the republic for which it stands...”.
Shes 75+ days late on that denunciation. Better late than never I suppose.
She wants her voters in jail??!!
Democrat party is infested with with mentally ill politicians and many people seem to like it
That moment when useful idiots are no longer useful.
What took her so long? She should have condemned it on day one before the cities burned down. And instead of constantly battling Trump she should clean up her own backyard.
Poll lag. She only saw the consequences of dem-silence-is-violence in the internal polls recently.
Polling is terrible for the Democrats and they know that coddling the Antifa goons they’ve been supporting has back fired on them and they see their chances of winning evaporating.
They are also aware Biden is rapidly losing cognitive ability day by day. As someone who lost my mother to the ravages of Alzheimer’s and having worked in a number of nursing homes the decline I see in Biden has been very rapid.
I hope the old grifting bastard pervert has a stroke.
So what if Nazi mouthed the words, she didn’t mean any of them.
As long as, they holler Trump, they, are peaceful.
PDJT should start calling his rallies protests
Nancy Pelosi or your lying eyes?
The president needs to ask Nancy Pelosi an example of “peaceful protests” & then work from there. There have been peaceful protests perhaps, but she had nothing to do with them I’m betting.
