Marjorie Taylor Greene at rally: Paul Pelosi should have ‘shot his attacker’

Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) at a GOP rally on Thursday said that Paul Pelosi could have protected himself during a recent assault in his home if he had “shot his attacker.”

“Paul Pelosi should have been a gun owner and shot his attacker,” Greene said to cheers from the audience of the Sioux City, Iowa, event.

Pelosi, who is married to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), was admitted to a hospital last week after suspect David DePape allegedly hit him with a hammer during a home invasion in San Francisco. The Speaker was not home at the time.

Greene lamented the amount of violence that occurs “every single day in Joe Biden’s America” and criticized the media for focusing on the Pelosi attack.
