Rep. Steve Scalise and others ripped House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for saying Republicans are “domestic enemies.”

“Disgusting: Nancy Pelosi just called Republicans ‘domestic enemies.’ I was shot because of this kind of unhinged rhetoric. Where’s the media outrage?” Scalise tweeted, referring to when he was shot during a practice session for the Congressional Baseball Game in 2017. The shooter, James Hodgkinson, had posted on social media comments such as “Republicans are the Taliban of the USA” before the shooting.

GOP lawmakers rip Nancy Pelosi for ‘enemies of the state’ diss:

Republican Reps. Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise on Tuesday ripped into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for calling President Trump and GOP lawmakers “enemies of the state” over claims they are trying to interfere with the election by hindering Americans’ ability to vote by mail this November.

Democrats “want that chaos, they want the confusion because they know the president of the United States is going to win on Election Day, but they want to keep counting just like they did in New Jersey four weeks after their primary election,” Jordan of Ohio said during an appearance on “Fox & Friends,” referring to a council race in Paterson, NJ, marred by allegations of voter fraud.

“Imagine if it takes six weeks to figure out who won one congressional primary. Now they’re talking about live ballots being mailed out to everyone and then counting ballots,” he continued.
“The speaker saying the things she does does not help things, only hurts things.”

Scalise, the minority whip in the House, said Pelosi’s use of “hyper-charged language” is dangerous.

“That’s the hyper-charged language that led to that crazed gunman coming out and trying to kill every Republican on the ball field. Why don’t we talk about issues? They don’t want to talk about issues,” he said. “We don’t want that chaos, they want that chaos because it’s what their party is all about right now.” —>READ MORE HERE
