‘Way to make it about you’: Nancy Pelosi’s post about WHCD shooting missed the mark

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.

“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.

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.

Don’t even……. You haven’t even voted to FUND the Secret Service you Wall Street cheating HAG.

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.
