“Obama commented on the attack against Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, during a speech on Saturday in Michigan, saying that elected officials need to do "more" to reject dangerous rhetoric. “Obama made the comments after Paul Pelosi was violently attacked early Friday morning in the couple's San Francisco home. San Francisco Police Chief William Scott said David DePape, 42, hit Paul Pelosi at least once with a hammer. "But here's one thing that we can feel, we know, if our rhetoric about each other gets that mean. When we don't just disagree with people, but we start demonizing them, making wild, crazy allegations about them. That creates a dangerous climate. And if elected officials don't do more to explicitly reject that kind of rhetoric, if they tacitly support it or encourage their supporters to stand up inside voting places armed with guns and dressed in tactical gear, more people can get hurt," Obama said.”
“Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton jumped on the bandwagon on Saturday, joining a number of liberal pundits and elected Democrats who blamed the Republican Party for an alleged violent attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) husband, Paul. “Clinton echoed the sentiments — if not the words — of people like President Joe Biden and MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell, who suggested that the rhetoric and politically charged anger that had spawned the January 6th riot on Capitol Hill had spread to Pelosi’s San Francisco home. “The Republican Party and its mouthpieces now regularly spread hate and deranged conspiracy theories,” Clinton tweeted. “It is shocking, but not surprising, that violence is the result. As citizens, we must hold them accountable for their words and the actions that follow.”

“Paul Pelosi was attacked on early Friday morning and went through surgery to repair a skull fracture “President Biden commented on the attack against Paul Pelosi, stating it's "despicable" during a Friday night speech. “Biden made the comments in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband was attacked on early Friday morning in the couple's San Francisco residence. "This is despicable. There's no place in America. There's too much violence, political violence, too much hatred, too much vitriol," Biden said. "And what makes us think that one party can talk about stolen elections? COVID being a hoax? It's all a bunch of lies." “Before Biden began his speech on Friday, he took a "short pause to send our love to Nancy Paul Pelosi," and said he had spoken with her. “Biden also commented on what DePape allegedly said during the attack, "Where is Nancy, where is Nancy?," stating that the Jan. 6 Capitol rioters used the same language.
"You know, it's reports that the same chant was used by this guy they have in custody that was used on Jan. 6 in the attacks on the U.S. Capitol. I'm not making this up. This is reported. I can't guarantee it. We can tell you what's being reported. The chant was, 'Where's Nancy? Where's Nancy? Where's Nancy?'" Biden said. "What makes us think that it's not going to corrode the political climate? Enough is enough. Every person of good conscience needs to clearly and unambiguously stand up against the violence in our politics. Regardless of what your politics are," he added.”Meanwhile, It’s gotta’ be the irony of ironies that Friday Dump Day will be no more as long suffering voters get to Dump the Dems on Midterm Election Day. Hang in there, Patriots because Tuesday is about to eclipse Friday Dump Day at long last.
