Nancy Pelosi walked smack into the middle of a local congressional fight in Florida yesterday and was accosted by dozens of protesters -- some of them from the violent right-wing group Proud Boys -- who screamed "communist!" at the House minority leader.

Pelosi was on her way to an event for Democratic congressional candidate Donna Shalala, who stuck her foot in it by inviting Georgia Rep. Barbara Lee -- a Fidel Castro admirer -- to the same event. The district is heavily Hispanic and anti-Castro, having been represented previously by GOP Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, and Shalala's tone-deaf move to invite Lee caused dozens of protesters to descend on the event to make their feelings known.

Clearly staged. This has gotten very little media coverage since it happened.

It’s certainly fair but it makes us look like them.

I’m with you Shootist. I read a comment this week that this was not Pelosi if you looked closely and that it was a clip from another time. I haven’t watched it and I don’t have the comment handy, but it makes me suspicious.

If its a Blue Wave, why would she need to campaign for Shahala?

“The Proud Boys are a violent fringe group and need to be sidelined.”

Hard to believe this report comes from PJMedia.

And this is wrong. We cannot win by doing the very things we are gaining traction with independents with when done by the left.

Of course you're correct, there is however something very satisfying that's felt when the left gets back what they've been giving out and suffers the consequences.
