Rep. Kevin McCarthy accused Nancy Pelosi of being “complicit with criminal activity” after she shrugged off the destruction of a statue of Christopher Columbus.
The House Speaker was asked about the incident, which occurred on July 4th, in which the Columbus statue was toppled and rolled into Baltimore’s Inner Harbor.
Rather than condemn, she brushed the whole thing off when a reporter asked whether or not such statues should be taken down through a legal process rather than through blatant vandalism.
“Respectfully, shouldn’t that be done by a commission or the city council, not a mob in the middle of the night throwing it into the harbor,” a reporter inquired.
Pelosi replied, “People will do what they do” adding, “if the community doesn’t want the statue there, the statue shouldn’t be there.”
The comments capture a glimpse of liberalism in all it’s many lawless forms: ‘If someone wants to enter the country, they should enter the country. If someone wants to riot and loot, they should riot and loot.’
“People will do what they do.” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

She Doesn’t Care About Statues
Pelosi proceeded to engage in a wild tangent about how statues aren’t really that important in the big scheme of things.
“Well, I’m not a big — you know, I don’t even have my grandmother’s earrings,” she said, an apparent indication that she doesn’t value mementos. “I am not a big — let’s see what we have in terms of monuments and this. I’m more interested in what people have accomplished.”
Columbus accomplished quite a bit more than you, Ms. Pelosi.
“I don’t care that much about statues,” she would later add.
Speaker Pelosi’s job is to write laws. Instead, she encourages mobs to break them.
She is complicit with criminal activity. https://t.co/eNJdLpAZRZ

Complicit In Criminal Activity
McCarthy, the House Minority Leader, reacted as most people would – shocked and dismayed that the person who is second in line to the presidency would give a wink and a nod to lawlessness.
“Speaker Pelosi’s job is to write laws. Instead, she encourages mobs to break them,” he tweeted. “She is complicit with criminal activity.”
Columbus, the great voyager he was, has always been despised by liberals, mainly due to their perpetual misunderstanding of history.
The man who discovered the Americas for the Spanish, kicked off settlement, and brought together two worlds by beginning the process that led to the founding of this country, is thoroughly hated by the left.
Why? Because it initiated the race for settlements, and ultimately wars between Native Americans and the Europeans.
“He was a man ahead of his time, who brought two worlds together and began the process that led to the founding of this country,” says CEO of the Knights of Columbus, Carl Anderson.
“It is a testament to Americans’ commitment to a fair reading of history that the explorer’s popularity has endured despite the unfair and hateful attacks by British propagandists, the Ku Klux Klan, and revisionist academics.”
He won’t endure much longer if the mob gets their way. And Pelosi is doing everything in her power to allow it.
The lie the Dems make is a hundred protesters represent millions in the community. Let the people vote on the statues. What happened to political leaders representing all the people. Instead you have a mayor or governor like Andy Bershear dictating to all Kentuckians. King Bershear says he knows what is the right than to do he doesn’t need anyone else’s opinion

I’m surprised, I guess, that your post was allowed by the PI! Seems they’re getting on the “censorship” bandwagon over certain “things”! Was your post initially held for “review”, and then allowed?…just comparing.

Think about this for a second…….if Columbus hadn’t discovered America PELOSI WOULDN’T EVEN BE HERE! That would have been a good thing because maybe then she would have been born in Campobasso, South Italy instead.
We, the fair minded, freedom loving adults in the room, know why, and that means you, fellow patriot… Trump2020
Pelosi almost sounded like Omar, when Omar said, “Some people did something” (regarding 9/11). What Pelosi said was indifferent, but not much different from Omar’s crass comment…

In the dead of night I wish a bunch of people would throw buckets of black paint all over the words “Black Lives Matter”. What are they going to do arrest them for illegally painting a city street? Oooops…I forgot, isn’t that what they already did when they painted Black Lives Matter on the street? Why aren’t they in jail for destroying city property? Mayor DeBlasio should be in jail too because he instigated it by helping them. No wonder Trump moved out of New York City! Thousands are moving out of New York and I don’t blame them. DeBlasio turned 5th Avenue and most of New York City into another ghetto and who the h*e*l*l wants to go into the ghetto?

This great Italian explorer set sail in 1492 just as King Ferdinando II’s edict was to begin the expulsion of all Jews from Spain. Many Jews know that Columbus set sail to find new land for those people who faced exile. He was a Christian who knew that Jewish people are the apple of God’s eyes. Not only do Italian-Americans revere him but so do Orthodox Jews who know their history. What kind of educational system has evolved in the greatest country of the world? How is it that this woman who claimed to be proud of her heritage as an Italian American espouses such disrespect for the laws of this nation. You may destroy a statue but you cannot destroy the fact that Columbus discovered America. Pelosi you sold your soul –your attachment to power will be your demise.

That one was easy….because Nancy said so
How come it’s okay to tear down a historic statue, but it’s a crime to paint over a “mural?” of black lives matter?

Of course she doesn’t care. Who else would try to impress people of color by posing in Kente cloth scarves representing the largest groups of slave traders in history ? This was the cloths worn by the Akan-Ashanti and the Ajuenta slave traders tribes of Ghana and Kenya. Yes, Obama’s ancestors made the families wealth by capturing and selling slaves from other tribes !
