Pelosi Statement Condemning Antifa Violence in Berkeley
Democratic Leader ^ | August 29, 2017 | Nancy Pelosi

Posted on 08/29/2017 7:25:07 PM PDT by Trump20162020

San Francisco — Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement denouncing the violent protests carried out this weekend in Berkeley, California:

“Our democracy has no room for inciting violence or endangering the public, no matter the ideology of those who commit such acts. The violent actions of people calling themselves antifa in Berkeley this weekend deserve unequivocal condemnation, and the perpetrators should be arrested and prosecuted.

“In California, as across all of our great nation, we have deep reverence for the Constitutional right to peaceful dissent and free speech. Non-violence is fundamental to that right. Let us use this sad event to reaffirm that we must never fight hate with hate, and to remember the values of peace, openness and justice that represent the best of America.”

She probably sees that Antifa is actually helping Trump. Otherwise, she wouldn’t give a damn.

Both. The Antifa groups have gone beyond what the Dems/MSM wanted and they have now seen what the majority of normal Americans are repulsed by them. And they now see that Pres. Trump was absolutely correct to condemn both the far right and the far left,(Dem party/MSM).

Little Marco got his shot in for anarcho-communist terrorists too...

“They are adherents of an evil ideology which argues certain people are inferior because of race, ethnicity or nation of origin…When entire movement built on anger & hatred towards people different than you,it justifies & ultimately leads to violence against them…These groups today use SAME symbols & same arguments of #Nazi & #KKK, groups responsible for some of worst crimes against humanity ever,” Rubio tweeted.

He concluded: “Mr. President,you can’t allow #WhiteSupremacists to share only part of blame.They support idea which cost nation & world so much pain…The #WhiteSupremacy groups will see being assigned only 50% of blame as a win.We can not allow this old evil to be resurrected.”

Senator Jeff Flake was more subtle. He only inferred that Antifa and BLM weren't committing acts of domestic terrorism...

WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) today released the following statement regarding the president’s most recent comments on the violence in Charlottesville:

“We cannot accept excuses for white supremacy and acts of domestic terrorism. We must condemn them. Period.”

Gee Nancy, then why is your party the biggest purveyor of hatred this country’s ever seen? Have you listened to CNN lately, Nancy? We all know you have and we all know you agree with every hateful and divisive thing they say.

So cram it you witch. It’s way too little and way too late and as usual, completely hypocritical.

Does anyone have the FAA’s 24 hour emergency number?
They need to be warned about pigs in a flight pattern at a US airport somewhere.

I’d attribute it to self-preservation, brought on by Antifa’s own actions.

The Demonrats must be looking at some awful poll numbers due to fascist/anarchist communist ANTIFA violence being accurately blamed on them.

Her rhetoric along with her colleagues have allowed these groups to become more emboldened against Republicans... nothing she can say now will stem the tide.

Paul Ryan supports Antifa so he therefor also supports totalitarianism and genocide:

It’s not surprising that Pelosi would condemn Antifa before the likes of Ryan and Romney. The Democrats have some motivation for distancing themselves from all this bad press Antifa is generating for themselves. The likes of Ryan and Romney only know how to act like confused, scared kittens.
