RNC Chair Blasts Dem Hypocrisy for Pointing Fingers Over Paul Pelosi, but Ignoring Attacks on Lee Zeldin, Kavanaugh

RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel fired back at Democrats who attempted to blame Republicans for the recent attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

Appearing on “Fox News Sunday,” McDaniel said it was “just unfair” to blame Republican rhetoric after an assailant attacked Pelosi at their San Francisco home. McDaniel pointed out that Democrats did little, if anything, to condemn a similarly violent attack when a man with a sharp object targeted New York GOP gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin, or an alleged assassination plot against conservative Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

“This is a deranged individual, you can’t say people saying, ‘let’s fire Pelosi’ or ‘let’s take back the House’ is saying ‘go do violence.’ It’s just unfair,” McDaniel said, responding to a Washington Post op-ed blaming Republican rhetoric for the attack.
