Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s response to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is exactly what you would expect from her.
Democrats, many of whom repeatedly hurl accusations and abuses at President Donald Trump on a near-daily basis, raced to social media following the Saturday shooting to thank law enforcement for protecting those in attendance. Pelosi’s post was slightly different, however, as critics accused her of making it about herself.
Look:

“It is a great relief that the President, First Lady and everyone in attendance at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is safe following a terrifying act of violence inside the venue. The brave men and women of the United States Secret Service and local law enforcement are to be commended for their swift action to secure the scene and protect those present,” she wrote Saturday night. “As someone whose family has suffered political violence, my prayers are with the injured officer and all those affected by the trauma of these horrible incidents.”

Way to make it about you, you soulless hag. You and your party’s rhetoric is directly responsible.

You are the cause lady. The hate you spew against the President day in and day out is what translates to action in planning the attack and pulling the trigger. You are responsible for this outcome. Hate filled TDS people, relentless in hate which leads to death.

Really? Maybe you, Schumer, Jeffries & the rest of the democrats should stop the nonstop hate speech about President Trump. There is a direct correlation between your constant hate speech & the crazies trying to kill our President.
