(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) A recently discovered Jan. 6 video showed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., saying she wants to “punch” former President Donald Trump.
“I want to punch him out. This is my moment,” Pelosi said in the video.
“I’ve been waiting for this. For trespassing on the Capitol grounds,” she continued. “I want to punch him out, and I’m going to go to jail, and I’m going to be happy.”
Despite accusing Republicans for “political violence” since the attack on the House speaker’s husband, the media has remained silent on Pelosi’s past threats of violence against Trump—the sitting president at the time.
According to the Media Research Center, Pelosi’s dangerous words are not the only threats of political violence we have heard from the Democrats.
At a Pennsylvania rally for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, the press asked Joe Biden if he would like to debate Trump.
Biden replied by saying he wishes Donald Trump were in high school so he could take him behind the gym and “beat the hell” out of him.
Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., told late night host Seth Meyers that his “testosterone makes [him] feel like punching him.”
Trump has, by and large, born the brunt of the left’s vitriol; however, their threats expanded to sitting Supreme Court justices after the opinion on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health was leaked.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., spoke at a rally in front of the Supreme Court and threatened two conservative justices, calling them out by name.
“I want to tell you, Gorsuch; I want to tell you, Kavanaugh: You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price,” he said. “You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”
In the week following the attack on Paul Pelosi, Democrats have been scolding Republicans for their alleged encouragement of political violence.
Despite their attempt to paint the GOP as a bad influence on Pelosi’s attacker, Dave DePape has been discovered to be a left-wing, Black Lives Matter supporting nudist and gay rights activist.
