It’s an irresponsible leap to attribute the Pelosi attack to radicalism at this point. Of course, that’s where the media have leapt. But we don’t have to follow them there. At least, not until real and corroborating info comes out.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Friday said he was “horrified and disgusted” by the news that Paul Pelosi, the husband of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), was assaulted by an intruder at their home in San Francisco early Friday morning.
“Grateful to hear that Paul is on track to make a full recovery and that law enforcement including our stellar Capitol Police are on the case,” McConnell added on Twitter.
McConnell was not the only GOP leader to send well wishes to the Pelosis. A spokesman for House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told The Hill that he “reached out to the Speaker to check in on Paul,” adding that “he’s praying for a full recovery and is thankful they caught the assailant.”
When it can be done WITHOUT qualifiers on either the attacker OR victim. At that point I will believe it to be sincere, until then, nah keep the insincere “thoughts and prayers”.
