Pelosi calls Trump, GOP lawmakers 'domestic enemies,' 'enemies of the state' over mail-in voting opposition
2020-08-25
[Fox News] House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., escalated her attacks toward President Trump and GOP lawmakers Monday, describing them as "domestic enemies" over their opposition to universal mail-in voting.

During an interview on "MSNBC Live" with anchor Ayman Mohyeldin, Pelosi slammed Trump's repeated rhetoric opposing mail-in voting and accused him of "scaring" potential voters and welcoming Russian interference in the upcoming election.

"The Russians were there and they are there now 24/7 trying to interfere in our election, but they're not the only ones," Pelosi said. "We take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. And sadly, the domestic enemies to our voting system and our honoring of the Constitution are right at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with their allies in the Congress of the United States."

The speaker then urged Democrats to "mobilize," "organize" and not allow Trump to "deter anybody from voting."

"And again, support the postal system, which is Election Central," Pelosi went on. "They're doing everything they can [to] suppress the vote with their actions, scare people, intimidate by saying law enforcement will be there, diminish the role of the postal system in all of this. It's really actually shameful. Enemies of the state."

#12  She is correct. I am an enemy of the state she is referring to. I do not support BLM, Riots, Antifa. Nor do I support defunding the police, the green new deal, and the AOC idiots. I do not support burning businesses, police stations and cities to the ground because of a 8 second video clip of a jack up meth head with a knife getting shot. I don't support the closing of hundreds of post offices and a certain congress critter's husband getting the billion dollar contract to sell them. I am opposed to everything Nancy stands for. I am the enemy she speaks of, I am an enemy of her state. I have an arsenal, its a one time use weapon and she fears it more then anything. I vote. I implore others to vote, there for I am building a militia to destroy her. Yes I am! She is fighting for her very existence, her corruption, her continued millions in greed and corruption. I stand for everything she does not. While she fights to silence me in the press, call me racist, call me a mentally ill veteran, and on and on and on. And while the press pound America with her propaganda, she cant take my vote, she cant take the army of voter that will see her out. So YES I am proud the be called an enemy of her state!

#10  It would be nice if Pelosi lost, either from the right (because everyone leaving San Francisco probably have not changed registration yet) or from the left (because those that stayed are further left than Pelosi).

#9  Another sign that they want a Parliamentary government, with a Democrat as Prime Minister For Lifeâ„¢, rather than a Republic as established in the US Constitution.
