Pelosi’s Treachery and Treason

July 19, 2020

Andy Ngo reports from Portland on July 19 at 1:55 am: “There are two riots happening in Portland right now by antifa and BLM. In downtown they’ve torn down the fence around the federal courthouse. In North Portland they broke into the police union hall & have set it on fire. #PortlandRiots”

Two days earlier on July 17, Nancy Pelosi claims that “protestors” are merely painting graffiti in an exercise of their First Amendment rights. She ignores the history of 50 days of rioting.

On July 18, Ngo responds to Pelosi with “Graffiti? How about explosives, hammers, knives, sledgehammers, slingshots w/ metal ball bearings, blinding lasers, pipe bombs and more? You have no clue what is going on here.”

The truth is obvious to anyone who cares to search and look. Antifa continues to riot. Trump has authorized some federal forces, and Pelosi calls them “stormtroopers”. The arrests they make she says “…are not the actions of a democratic republic.” In other words, let the rioters riot, Nancy says. That’s just free speech.

Pelosi claims Trump is using “secret police”. Trump she claims is wrong to attempt to maintain order. She claims he’s hitting on the innocent antifarians (“one-sided violence”: “Trump & his stormtroopers must be stopped.” Pelosi accuses Trump: “”First Amendment speech should never be met with one-sided violence from federal agents acting as Trump’s secret police, especially when unidentified. This is disgraceful behavior we would expect from a banana republic — not the government of the United States.”

Pelosi sure can tell some whopping lies, but to do so in her position is traitorous. It’s treasonous. It’s treachery. She’s betraying her oath of office. She knows that antifa is rioting night after night. She knows they’re initiating violence. She knows they’re attacking police. And she’s supporting them. She also knows of the reports that DHS has marked antifa violence down as domestic terrorist violence. Nonetheless, Pelosi places herself on the side of supporting antifa, but their “domestic terrorism” or just plain old rioting has the aim of destroying “the rule of law, the Constitution and the Republic”.

Nancy Pelosi is augmenting her reputation as a traitor to her country. Now she’s committing open treason. She’s betraying her oath of office. Pelosi’s treachery is evident for all to see. Apparently Pelosi feels she can flaunt her treachery because she feels herself protected by her position as Speaker of the House and by the weakness of Trump at this point in the polls. She calculates that Trump is vulnerable in this election year. Pelosi’s attack on Trump as fascist, which also attacks police, authority, and law and order as fascist, may or may not be a politically beneficial tactic for her party; but it still is treason to her country, an outright, unvarnished support of violent lawbreakers, in defiance of her oath of office. No matter who wins and doesn’t, Pelosi will be remembered as someone who placed winning an election above all else, including country, oath, truth and Constitution.
