House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., argued Thursday that Republicans are more responsible for the downfall of political discourse than Democrats a day after House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., was shot during a practice ahead of the congressional charity baseball game.
At her weekly press conference, Pelosi was asked if she saw the "worsening in political behavior" equally in both Republicans and Democrats but she replied, "No, I do not."
She then listed out a series of examples of harsh political rhetoric from the right.
"We have a president who says, 'I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and nobody would care,'" she said, referring to President Trump's campaign. "When you have people saying, 'beat him up and I'll pay your legal fees.' When you have all of the assaults that were made on on Hillary Clinton."

Pelosi is a nutcase radical leftist but she DOES KNOW she is lying with crap like this. All the left has for a base now is stupid enough to swallow this stuff.
The real life Night of the Living Dead
It is an old Alinsky tactic - Accuse your opponent what you yourself are already doing that way your opponent will get the media hit and you will get off scot-free.
I’m surprised that Pelosi really wants to have a pissing contest about which side has poisoned the well more.
My God a man is fighting for his life, caused by a demented liberal, and all she has to say is how Republicans and Trump have said or done certain things.
In a true pissing contest, if we lay out all the examples of hate and violent rhetoric and actual violence, the Democrats and liberal radical types will lose.
Exactly right. The Rats know you must stay on offense. Never back down. Never recuse. Never give an inch.
“Im surprised that Pelosi really wants to have a pissing contest”
Nancy doesn’t understand that it won’t be a pissing contest. She’s pretty dim that way. Her side already graduated from using piss to using bullets. That’s where the contest goes now.
The GOPe is to blame.
There are rules of behavior that congressional members are supposed to follow or they will be censured. For 8 years, the repubs were wimps. hey allowed Maxine Waters, Pelosi, Reid, Ellison, Boxer and many others to say things that were intended to inflame the nut cases in the dim party.
They should have been penalized for being somewhat less than decorous.
Just as several congress critters have been forced to leave for sexual misbehavior, they could have been penalized for their behavior.
DC has always had con men and other shady characters, but in the last 12 years it has descended in an abyss beyond recovery
The Democrat Party - The Real Religion Of Peace !
I remember when valjar said that. Obama statement too.
... and then Person A will say “See? That’s why you shouldn’t oughta driven your car out there!”
Well, Pelosi’s conciliatory rhetoric lasted almost twenty-four hours. Now back to the usual Dim talking points.
“..Im surprised that Pelosi really wants to have a pissing contest about which side has poisoned the well more....”
It has always been my feeling that the 8 years of Obama and their outright lawlessness, their support of lawless, anti-American activity of the left, had the effect on stooges like Pelosi, of EXPECTING to be able to do ANYTHING they feel like doing, saying, etc. and getting away with it.
I certainly fault the complicit RINO Repubs that did NOTHING to put the left out of business with this type of stuff. It is no surprise that these reprobates are out to hurt Trump any way they can.
Pres. Trump was quoting someone. Anybody know who?
Screw’em. Never trust a leftist...NEVER.
Liberals are what is. What they believe is what is. Everything else is hateful rhetoric that must be opposed. Hence any action they take or words they speak pare fully justified.
That perspective is where Nancy and every other liberal is coming from. It starts with the every person gets a trophy culture and culminates in the re-education camps that our College campuses have become. By the time these snowflakes hit the world they believe that they are entitled to everything including always winning elections. When reality meets their expectations the reaction is violent.
She has almost got a point for a change.
If it wasn’t for Trump and all the Republicans that voted for him, Hillary would have won and the democrats could sit around & smoke weed and wouldn’t have to worry about beating up (or shooting) the other side.
This is a fake news story just created to let Nanzi spout out her socialist libtard vitriol.
“They shoot Republicans and call for unity.”
And gun control.
Brave men with handguns stopped this maniacal Democrat before he maimed and killed even more.
The stuff that drips from the `rats’ mouths could make a crow blush.
