Pelosi: You Can’t Yell ‘Wolf’ In A Crowded Theater [VIDEO]
Daily Caller, Aug 24, 2017, Chuck Ross

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi appeared confused in an interview this week about what kind of speech is protected by the U.S. Constitution.

“The Constitution does not say that a person can shout…yell ‘wolf’ in a crowded theater. If you are endangering people, then you don’t have a constitutional right to do that,” Pelosi said in an interview on Wednesday with San Francisco TV station KRON.

The Democrat seemingly meant to paraphrase an opinion written by Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. in the landmark free speech case, Schenck v. United States (1919).

“The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic,” Holmes wrote in his opinion.

If the Dems want to keep her, someone's got to lock her in a room away from cameras and microphones.  No cell phone either.

I would say that Nancy is losing it but that is impossible since she never had it to begin with.

Can you shout "theater" at a crowded fire?

So in other words you gotta bunch of thugs ready to beat the crap out of you or worse if you say something they don't like, so you can't speak because it endangers people.

Got it.

Who wants to bet the Old Aunt Nancy didn't know where she was, or whom she was talking to, or what day of the week it is today. Who would take that bet?

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

She is growing progressively (heh) worse.

But who's gonna step up to her and say, "retire"?

Not me.

I think she's one of the best spokespersons the demcrat/communists could have right now!

What's the over and under?

Otherwise I'll call that obvious bluff.
