We’ve had an attempted assassination of the Speaker, which became a violent assault on her husband. It’s a moment when Republicans and conservatives could unequivocally denounce political violence, and incitement to and tolerance of violence.
Or not.
So far “or not” is winning.

Most Republicans seem unable or unwilling to condemn the attack on Paul Pelosi. Their silence should be remembered. Including Trump's.

Last year, a GOP Congressman shared a depiction of himself killing me. When the House rose to censure, @GOPLeader defended him.
Yesterday, a man sharing that member’s rhetoric tried to assassinate the Speaker and her spouse.
What has @GOPLeader said? Nothing. This is who he is.

It is disturbing that someone could get into the home of the person third in line from the presidency. It is equally disturbing how many people rushed to political points instead of simply offering prayers for the victim of a crime.

Let there be no mistake, @FoxNews bears responsibility for the attempted assault on @SpeakerPelosi . They generate and perpetuate an environment of permissive violence and hate against swathes of Americans.

Fox News instantly plugs the Pelosi home invasion and assault on Paul Pelosi into its GOP talking points, saying this shows that "crime hits everybody" and "this can happen anywhere, crime is random and that's why it's such a significant part of this election story." We'll see.

The Democratic leader of the House’s home was broken into by a political extremist and her husband was beaten with a hammer that fractured his skull.
The Republican leader of the House said nothing.
@GOPLeader is a small man.

On the same day that a man attempts to kill the Speaker of the House, a judge in Arizona has ruled that armed citizens can show up to *monitor* ballot boxes as part of their "constitutional rights." This is how democracy ends.

Trump could come out & clearly condemn the attack on Paul Pelosi. He could say political violence is unacceptable. If would be a great thing for our country if he did that. But he likely won't, any more that he tamped down on 1-6 violence when he thought it might still help him.

The one thing we should be able to agree on, even in the middle of hotly contested elections, is that political violence is abhorrent, whether directed at elected officials, their spouses, or staff. It is unpatriotic, un-American, and has no place in our discourse.

The suspect in the attack of Paul Pelosi has been confirmed to be a 42-year-old right-wing extremist who spread 2020 election conspiracy theories, COVID disinformation, and hatred of the Jan 6 committee.

I'm 51, I loved President Carter as a kid, voted in my first election for President Clinton and President Obama is basically my hero. That all being said, I can't think of a POTUS in my lifetime that has accomplished more than President Biden in his first two years. Vote Blue.

Ron DeSantis has:
❌ Banned abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest
❌ Banned books
❌ Banned saying “gay”
What’s next, banning all those who disagree with him?

Poor Justice Alito. He’s bellyaching about how hard it was on HIM when his draft opinion revoking women’s constitutional privacy rights was leaked, saying how he’s looking forward “to things getting back to normal.” How nice for HIM! THINGS AREN’T GOING BACK TO NORMAL FOR WOMEN!

WOW: Mehmet Oz isn’t even trying to hide it anymore. He wants *politicians* to make health care decisions for women — decisions that should be made between a woman and her doctor.
