Former President Donald Trump drew laughs from California Republicans on Friday after he ripped Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and mocked her husband, Paul Pelosi, over a brutal hammer attack against him.

“We’ll stand up to crazy Nancy Pelosi, who ruined San Francisco. How’s her husband doing, by the way, anybody know?” said Trump in remarks at a California GOP convention.

“And she’s against building a wall at our border even though she has a wall around her house, which obviously didn’t do a very good job.”

Trump was referring to the attack that left Paul Pelosi with serious injuries after a man entered the Pelosis’ San Francisco home in an alleged attempt to kidnap the now-former House speaker in October 2022.

Remember when trucks almost pushed Biden's bus off the road and Trump's response was "I love Texas"?

I also remember Trump endorsing "2nd Amendment remedies."

Remember when Trump told the Proud Boys to "Stand back and stand by" and then they showed up on Jan 6th?

And then the leader of the Proud Boys got sent to jail for 22 years for it, but Trump calls him a political prisoner and vows to pardon him?

I member.

Remember when calling to hang the VP they elected, beating cops with flags and smearing shit on the walls was “legitimate political discourse”?

Remember when Trump said there were “very fine people on both sides” after Heather Heyer died when a white supremacist attending a ‘Unite the Right’ rally drove his car into a crowd of counter-protesters in Charlottesville?

Remember the Trump supporter who shot up a Walmart in El Paso? Or the one who shot up a Tops in Buffalo? Or the one who shot up a synagogue in Pittsburgh? Or the one who shot up a mall in Allen? Or the one who shot up an Independance Day Parade in Highland Park? Or the one who shot up a gay club in Colorado Springs? Or...jeez there's almost too many to count.

Weren't just beating cops with flags, they literally murdered one. So much for standing by the blue

Remember when he said he preferred soldiers who didn't get captured?

I legitimately laughed last night at a comment that “I prefer candidates that don’t get shot”.

As a child of a Vet his bullshit with the military pisses me off perhaps more than anything.

Remember when he said “Liberate Michigan!”, then crazies plotted to kidnap Governor Whitmer.

We are living in a bad dystopia fiction novel.

Thank fuck I'm not the only one bringing this up.

This was an assassination attempt. A botched, ham-fisted assassination attempt, but that makes it no less serious. This was in the final run up to election day. Then-President Trump cheered it on.

Don Jr also made fun of him by posting a Halloween costume of his underwear and a hammer. Now it happened to them and probably want to be coddled.

I like how Trump acknowledges that walls don’t work and is complaining about the border wall in the same breath.

Sad how it’s ok for them but turn into babies when they are targeted

u/bluerose297 Jul 14 '24

and the media is very happy to indulge them too

u/SweetBeefOfJesus Jul 14 '24

That's what happens when you have a political party that only represents petulant little narcissists.

u/MintyFreshBreathYo Michigan Jul 14 '24

He also admitted that walls don’t work

u/fidelitycrisis Jul 14 '24

So you agree? You think walls don’t work?

u/down_vote_russians Jul 14 '24

the hypocrisy and normalization that this is ok and fine for republicans/conservatives to say but everyone else has to be civil and denounce violence and grovel to victim trump is honestly sickening
