step in the ongoing battle between pelosi and mccarthy. ana, i want you to weigh in but let me tell you what pelosi a deputy chief of staff tweeted. he says a threat of violence to someone who was a target of the january 6th assassination attempt from your fellow trump supporters is irresponsible and disgusting. look, we ve heard recordings and accounts from wririoters. i m not sure why he would make this joke. i mean he lived through the insurrection. apparently he s forgotten that. look, don, i do think it was a lame-ass attempt at humor, and really if anybody wants to go see a middle-aged white guy try to be funny, there s plenty of billy crystal and steve martin movies that you can rent on demand. the most offensive part about it to me is his butchering humor. but, you know, yes, nancy pelosi called him a moron last week as
called him a moron, and he thought he was speaking off the record with supporters. here s the situation. nancy pelosi is the speaker of the house. she s a powerful person. she s the third in line to be president. she happens to be a woman. so democrats saying he s going after her because she s a woman, this is a political rival making a political statement, he wants to be the next speaker. it s nothing more than that. democrats are trying to raise money off of it. but it s just another step in the ongoing battle between pelosi and mccarthy. here s what pelosi s deputy chief of staff tweeted, a threat of violence against someone who was targeted on january 6th from your fellow trump supporters is irresponsible and disgusting. we ve heard of people

all, he should want to stand up and say the state of the nation is healthy and strong. you can t do that when the government is shutdown. no, you cannot. this battle between pelosi and trump, what is it looking like on the 2020 trail? the 2020 candidates with the exception of gillibrand don t talk much about the president. he kind of looms with democratic speeches and q&a. it is not something they can react to every move by. that s the thought here. there is a lot of enthusiasm for the way pelosi is handling this. i was on the trail in iowa and south carolina over the weekend. the way that democratic dealt with this was pelosi not giving an inch to the president of something he promised that mexico was going to fund. the democratic primary saying nancy pelosi should cave or we
