House Speaker Nancy Pelosi responded on Thursday to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene supporting calls to execute top Democrats including the Speaker before she was elected to office.
Speaker Pelosi said “the enemy is within”.
Asked to explain her comments Pelosi said: “It means that we have members of Congress who want to bring guns on the floor and have threatened violence on other members of Congress.”
Speaker Pelosi also slammed Republican House leadership for placing Greene, who questioned the veracity of deadly school shootings, on the Education Committee.
“It is absolutely appalling, and I think that the focus has to be on the Republican leadership of this House of Representatives for the disregard that they have for the death of those children,” Pelosi said.
“What could they be thinking? Or is thinking too generous a word for what they might be doing?” she said. Adding “you’re just going to have to ask them why they thought that that raised itself to the level of something appropriate to do in the Congress of the United States.”
