Two Republican Victims of Political Violence Urge Compassion for Pelosi; 'Don't Make Everything About Politics'
Democrat activists, particularly those with cable TV platforms, berated Republicans on Monday for stoking the violence unleashed by a deranged, homeless nudist on Paul Pelosi, who is recovering from hammer blows to the head and body.
Not so fast, said Republican lawmakers Steve Scalise and Rand Paul, both of them badly injured at different times by people opposed to their conservative politics.
"I mean, there's an eagerness on the left to make this political and immediately to start blaming Republicans, but where's the sympathy, even from the left, for Paul Pelosi?" Sen. Rand Paul asked.
"I mean, I'm sure he is suffering today. He's been through this horrific assault, and nobody's really talking about him, because even the left is talking about making this political and blaming it on Republicans," Paul told Fox News's Jesse Waters on Monday night:
"When I was assaulted, I was struck once in the back. I didn't hear my assailant coming because I had noise cancellation ear phones on. I was struck once in the back so hard that I had six ribs broken, including three of them that were completely separated. My lung was damaged. I coughed up blood for over a year. My lungs filled up with fluid. I about died from an infection. Had part of my lung removed, and then Nancy Pelosi's daughter felt free to go ahead and tweet that, you know, my neighbor should come back and do it again -- that my neighbor was right.
“My current political opponent tweets out and has an ad that he created mocking my attack. On of his campaign workers said that the attacker -- the assailant who struck me in the back is her personal hero. Another one of my opponents' campaign leaders actually put my address up and then puts pictures of me injured and the implication is, I guess, this is where he is if you want to finish the job.
"And so, no. The left doesn't really care. They make everything political. But I will tell you sincerely, I do want Paul Pelosi to make a speedy recovery. And I know what it's like to go through the pain. And I know he's in pain today. And I think we should see him as a human being, not as just sort of this -- you know, we dehumanize everybody in politics. It's like people don't care. They think you don't feel pain..................

This is the problem with our GOP elected officials. Steve, the Dems make everything about politics. There are times you just shut up and let them destroy themselves with the manufactured garbage rhetoric.
Quit trying to be 'compassionate'. We are at war.

So who's going to tell the Rats not to politicize Paul Pelosi's "problem?"

I'm not seeing any compassion from Dr. Jill Biden or Mrs. Fetterman. Perhaps I missed that.

Polticians, political parties, political pundits, media conglomerates use fear, anger, and the politics of personal destruction to dehumanize the opposition for profit and gain, and now I'm expected to behave like conscientious empathetic human being?
That wouldn't be good for business. Hate sells. More hate sells more.
It's not my fault adults with more money, more power, more education, more influence, and higher status than I are behaving badly. Those people like to think themselves better than me. What can I do? I'm just a deplorable.

Well why didn't he have adequate protection then?

We're not the ones who immediately blamed a maga insurrectionist election denying Q person for the Pelosi attack. The left made it political as soon as Pelosi hit the floor.

Yup, they even said that his question, "Where's Nancy?" duplicated the shouts heard during the Jan 6 event, as if that type of query can only be associated with Jan 6!!!!

Republicans seem to live in a dream world.

For an Octergenarian to be the center of two suspicious crime scenes in a 6 month period?
Where there is smoke, there's fire. Too bad the MSM is hellbent in supressing the truth.

I find it peculiar the Dems don't want the story of two gay lovers to be revealed in San Fransicko.

I will have sympathy for Paul Pelosi and pray for a good recovery for him
But I, and many others, do not buy that it was a red cap Trump supporting attacker
