Fox News Host Sounds Off: Why Biden and Kamala Should Accept Partial Responsibility for Pelosi Attack

While speculation swirls about the motivation of the alleged attacker of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) husband, Democrats have once again opted for a partisan “do as I say not as I do” response as one Fox News host called out President Joe Biden’s promise to unite rather than enflame; “That hasn’t happened.”

Friday’s attack on Paul Pelosi left the speaker’s husband hospitalized and recovering from surgery, after a blow from a hammer fractured his skull, while his alleged assailant was charged with attempted homicide and burglary among other crimes.

Reports furthered by the administration that the suspect had been specifically looking for Pelosi asking, “Where’s Nancy?” perpetuated the notion of a political aim from the suspect leading Martha MacCallum to ask of “The Five,” whether political violence or mental health issues were the root of the problem.

“I think it is a combination of both,” co-host Kennedy responded before calling out Biden. “I think where we’re at, you know, the president promised to bring down the tenor of political discourse in this country.”

“That hasn’t happened,” she said. “People are more divided.”

As it happened, when speaking with reporters Friday, Vice President Kamala Harris was quick to decry attack and said, “I did talk with Speaker Pelosi this morning. And, I mean, this was an act of extreme violence. And I think we’re looking at a–at a time in our country where there is so much discourse that is fueled by hate and division. And anyone who professes to be a leader, I think, has to really understand the meaning and the–and the impact of their words and their posture on these things.”
