Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) ignited significant backlash on social media due to her reaction to the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump within a span of two months.
There never is a place for political violence of any kind in America.
As the investigation into today’s incident continues, let us commend law enforcement for their actions to keep the former President safe from harm.

Internet users and advocates of the former president swiftly reacted, predominantly attributing blame to her and other Democrats for employing aggressive language towards Trump, labeling him as a “threat to democracy” and “hazardous” to the nation.
“Nancy, you and the democrats are responsible for this. Your obstruction during J6, your constant attacks against Trump, etc. Hypocrites,” Valentina Gomez, a former GOP candidate for Missouri secretary of state, wrote, adding: “This wasn’t an incident, this was an assassination attempt.”
“What a Democrat did to Trump today was 100x worse than anything any Trump supporter did on January 6th. Yet you call J6 the worst day in American history and today’s assassination attempt an ‘incident’ – Resign,” conservative podcaster Benny Johnson wrote.
“You tore a President’s speech [sic] up during his State of the Union speech live for the world to see. You are a large part of the violence against Trump,” another user wrote.
“Same cookie cutter BS. Stop acting like you give a sh*t,” another said.

It wasn’t an “incident.” Say it… assassination attempt.
You and your ilk are responsible.

Says the person who calls Trump a threat to democracy after a sip of vodka tonic to the radical host on any MSNDC show she appears on.
Sit back down. You’re equally responsible and at fault for this!
P.S. 0-2 😊
