Nancy Pelosi Finally Condemns Antifa
I'm shocked!!!
Thought she was going to say.
"God bless them, for their spontaneity. It's independent ... it's young, it's spontaneous, it's focused. And it's going to be effective."
--------------------------
House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi officially condemned violence from Antifa on Tuesday after months of attacks on Trump supporters and free speech protesters.
The statement from Pelosi was in response to the acts of violence over the weekend in Berkeley, which led to the arrests of 13 suspects connected to Antifa’s violence.
“Our democracy has no room for inciting violence or endangering the public, no matter the ideology of those who commit such acts,” Pelosi wrote. “The violent actions of people calling themselves Antifa in Berkeley this weekend deserve unequivocal condemnation, and the perpetrators should be arrested and prosecuted.”
This marks the first-time Pelosi has condemned Antifa and is quite possibly the first time she has acknowledged the group’s existence. A keyword search of her website and her Twitter account revealed no other instances in which she used the word.
A spokesman for Pelosi told the Washington Times in an email late on Monday night that Pelosi “emphasizes” the importance of “peaceful” protests and demonstrations, while not mentioning Antifa and other leftist groups behind the violence.
Pelosi also reiterated the need for peaceful dissent and free speech in her press statement on Tuesday by saying hate must not be used to fight hate.
“In California, as across all of our great nation, we have deep reverence for the Constitutional right to peaceful dissent and free speech,” Pelosi continued. “Non-violence is fundamental to that right. Let us use this sad event to reaffirm that we must never fight hate with hate, and to remember the values of peace, openness, and justice that represent the best of America.”
Kathy Griffin is 'no longer sorry' for infamous Trump photo
Kathy Griffin:
“I’ve been talking to Australians who, for the first time, are saying ‘We’re afraid to go to America,'” she shared. “I never thought I would hear that in my lifetime.”
Imagine you woke up next to this in the morning.

Kathy Griffin would like a mulligan on her apology for her infamous photo with a bloody facsimile of Donald Trump’s head.
Back in May, the comedian was embroiled in a controversy that sparked a two-month federal investigation when images were released of her holding what very closely resembled the president’s head. Following the immediate backlash, she apologized, a move she now regrets.
“I am no longer sorry, the whole outrage was B.S., the whole thing got so blown out of proportion,” she shared on the Australian talk show Sunrise this week. “I lost everybody.”
Things then turned a bit contentious when Griffin mentioned the criticism she faced from people like Chelsea Clinton and Debra Messing. Co-host Samantha Armytage pointed out that neither of those two are Trump supporters, prompting the question of whether Griffin could understand why they’d view the photo as “over-the-line.”
“You’re full of crap,” fired back Griffin. “Stop acting like my little picture is more important than talking about the actual atrocities that the president of the United States is committing.”
Griffin proceeded to rattle off some of the recent controversial decisions made by Trump, who she refused to refer to as the president, instead calling him “the fool.” Some of the “real things we have to deal with” she referenced are the recent transgender military ban and the presidential pardon given to former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio.
“I’ve been talking to Australians who, for the first time, are saying ‘We’re afraid to go to America,'” she shared. “I never thought I would hear that in my lifetime.”

"White Privilege"...or privileged to be saved by a white guy?
Been observing videos and photos of Hurricane Harvey. Hell of a lot of white guys (volunteers) with their own boats saving people regardless of skin color. Think they’ll get any recognition?
