GOP Reps Wish Paul Pelosi Well After Hammer Attack...

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Glenn Youngkin "clarifies" the GOP response,  “Speaker Pelosi’s husband had a break-in last night in their house, and he was assaulted. There’s no room for violence anywhere, but we’re gonna send her back to be with him in California. That’s what we’re going to go do.”

They beat him so severely he had to be taken via ambulance to the hospital and he's going to have to have facial reconstruction surgery.

Where were YOU when just the other day, one of your Democrats running for office tweeted out about Rand Paul being beaten by his neighbor, which resulted in Rand Paul having to have a LUNG REMOVED?  He mocked Rand Paul.  

Such class! 

Where were you to comment when Lee Zelden had a guy come up on stage and stab him with a knife?

Where was ANY Democrat?  

Where were YOU?  

Where were YOU, Fraud?

So please take your feigned indignation and stick it in your ass. smile  ( of course, you'll have to pull your fat head out of it first, before you cram it, then you can stick your fat head back up there where it belongs)
More deflection via Rich's usual tactic of what aboutism.  For starters, the fight between Rand Paul had nothing to do with politics or conspiracy theories:
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/prosecutors-reveal-why-rand-paul-was-attacked-neighbor-n839366
The man attacked while canvassing for Rubio has a reported white supremacist past:
https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/rubio-supporter-alleged-former-white-supremacist-brutally-beaten-in-hialeah-15558408
And, as reported by the Miami Herald, the man who was attacked didn't claim it was politically motivated until after Rubio tweeted about it. Additionally, the family of the man accused of initiating the fight maintains it was not politically motivated. 
In Zeldon's case, his opponent issued this statement, “My team has informed me about the incident at Lee Zeldin’s campaign event tonight. Relieved to hear that Congressman Zeldin was not injured and that the suspect is in custody. I condemn this violent behavior in the strongest terms possible — it has no place in New York,” 
That's worlds ahead of what Youngkin said. BTW, as of seven hours ago, Zeldin " is under investigation by the State Board of Elections over allegations that he coordinated with two super PACs supporting his campaign, according to The New York Times."

Like the rioters on Jan 6th, he was yelling, "Where's Nancy?" Like the rioters on Jan 6th, we now know he had zip ties with him too:

Here's more of the GOP outpouring of outrage over the hammer attack:
"Donald Trump Jr posted several photos and comments on Twitter and Instagram making light of the violent home invasion attack last week against Paul Pelosi, the husband of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)."

"Former President Trump’s eldest child, the executive vice president of the Trump Organization, retweeted a photo on Sunday of a piece of underwear and a hammer that was captioned: “Got my Paul Pelosi Halloween costume ready.”
https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/3712538-donald-trump-jr-mocks-paul-pelosi-attack/
Also contributing in the sentiment is:  "Kari Lake, the Republican nominee for governor of Arizona, made light Monday of the violent assault against Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) husband on Friday." “Nancy Pelosi — well, she’s got protection when she’s in D.C. Apparently her house doesn’t have a lot of protection,” Lake said, prompting laughs and applause from the crowd and the event moderator beside her."

Not to mention these salacious attacks from "conservatives":

And since we're talking about it, did you ever grow out of your delusional fantasy that President Donald Trump was actually Yuri the Spy, and that the Fabricated Russian Dossier was total reality? 

I mean to say, I can't fathom that you STILL believe your own Bullshit?  Do you?  wink
You don't subscribe to conspiracy theories? Oh, I see, you just vote the for GOP that promotes them, just like you and others claim they don't like Trump but you like his policies so you vote for him anyway. And knock off our nonsense about what you think I believe and what I don't even though you've already made it up in your gorde.

Its not "our" nonsense, it is your nonsense.

The last time you mentioned it, you claimed the Dossier was factual.  Have you changed your opinion?

If not then I'll stick with my assertion the you are delusional about that conspiracy theory which was already put to bed by the Mueller investigation.

Of course, you are free to retract your statement that the fabricated Russian Dossier was factual.  

Otherwise my accusation that you subscribe to crazy, delusional conspiracy theories stands as accurate.  smile
Oh, excuse me for the typo; it is "your" nonsense, to be sure...
And, as I've linked to in the past, portions of the Steele dossier are factual:   https://www.lawfareblog.com/steele-dossier-retrospective

The Dossier said that Trump peed on a bed when he was with hookers.

Is that factual or fraudulent?
"So then I'll stick with my assertion that you're a conspiracy theorist."
So, you're obviously refractory to the evidence in the link provided and you're just as obviously wrong.
"The Dossier said that Trump peed on a bed when he was with hookers."

I don't know if that's true or not and neither do you but I will say I'd believe the hookers before I believed Trump...

Oh screamer: "The most one can really say has been confirmed about the Steele dossier is that a) there was in fact a Russian effort to help Trump, and b) the Trump camp clearly knew more about it than they said publicly. Given those conclusions, it’s certainly possible that the other stuff Steele alleges is also true, but virtually none of the particulars have been verified."
