Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi criticized former President Donald Trump with harsh rhetoric following what seems to have been a failed assassination attempt against him.
During her address at the Cap Times Idea Fest in Wisconsin, Pelosi emphasized the importance of the swing state in safeguarding the future of democracy. She asserted to the audience that defeating Trump is essential for the restoration of American democracy and for reclaiming a Republican Party that she believes has been taken over.
“He projects. He says ‘crazy Nancy’ — he is crazy,” Pelosi said. “He says ‘crooked Hillary’ — he’s crooked. Every adjective he uses is really about himself. So when he says people are eating cats and dogs, I’m just wondering about him.”
“For the good of our country, it is absolutely essential that (House Minority Leader) Hakeem Jeffries has the gavel (as speaker) … when Congress votes to accept the results of the Electoral College,” Pelosi added.
“So much is at stake,” she said. “This isn’t an election we would have against George W. Bush or Mitt Romney or Bob Dole or John McCain: We have an election, we have an outcome and we go to work. … This is a different election.”
