After watching that video, I had a few thoughts:

Pelosi thinks San Francisco is typical.

If I thought most of America would act like San Franciscans, I’d cry too.

When Pelosi thinks of a violent political event, she thinks of Milk. I think of MLK.

Reporters think anti-government rhetoric is a threat only if the government is run by liberals.

Reporters don’t remember the anti-government rhetoric or the violent anti-government protests of the 1960s.

You right-wingers made Nancy Pelosi cry. I am so proud.
