House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi appeared confused in an interview this week about what kind of speech is protected by the U.S. Constitution.
“The Constitution does not say that a person can shout…yell ‘wolf’ in a crowded theater. If you are endangering people, then you don’t have a constitutional right to do that,” Pelosi said in an interview on Wednesday with San Francisco TV station KRON.
The Democrat seemingly meant to paraphrase an opinion written by Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. in the landmark free speech case, Schenck v. United States (1919).
“The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic,” Holmes wrote in his opinion.
Pelosi offered up the mixed metaphor after being asked about a request she made with the National Park Service to deny a permit to Patriot Prayer, a right-wing group that has plans to hold a rally at San Francisco’s Crissy Field this weekend.
The National Park Service initially withheld the permit until Patriot Prayer’s organizers agreed to certain conditions aimed at limiting the risk of violence at the event.
“My hope is the park service would not allow these elements to use a national park to spew forth their venom,” Pelosi said in the interview.

LOL
But yelling NAZI in a crowded nation is just fine...
Sure Nancy. Bark on...
No, HEEL, ROLL OVER, and STAY (mute).
Good dog...
Ha, I use that too, lol.
If he has NP's intellect, he'll be yelling "Oh no! Not again!" for the foreseeable future.
The “clear and present danger” test applies. Inflammatory speech does not in itself inspire violence, and the bar USED TO be set high to establish grounds for prior restraint.
Plus Nancy Pelousy is a withered hag with tapioca for brains.
Can you yell “FIRE” in a crowded zoo?
Is she, by any chance, related to yogi Berra?
Given that we are dealing with sheeple, it might just spark a panic.
Remember that delightful fable about the boy who cried “fire”. :-)

Poor dingbat mixed her metaphors, you can’t yell fire in a building crying wolf is what you have done with Russia, racist and everything else you’ve tried on Trump
No, but you can set a fire to a store in a crowded street IF it is associated with an anti-White riot.
I had no idea those tear gas canisters traveled that quickly and could be aimed so accurately.
And now, for the guy in that video clip, a little song from the archives:

Yes, the poor thing was eaten by three bears...................
Could I yell “møøse” in a crowed theater?
If wishes were horses, we’d all be saddle sore.
And now we are seeing the results of shooting botox into an area so close to the brain.
