Joe Biden criticises ‘despicable’ Pelosi attack, calls out Trump and MAGA supporters for inciting violence

Angry internet users have also drawn parallels between the violent attack on House Speak Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi and the Capitol riot that ultimately brought down former President Donald Trump's administration.

"Enough is enough," remarked US President Joe Biden at a campaign rally in Philadelphia on Friday night. Noting that there was "no place in the United States” for violence such as the attack on Paul Pelosi, Joe Biden expressed his disapproval of the occurrence. He declared political violence was unacceptable.




Earlier in the day, US President Joe Biden had phoned Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to offer his sympathies and reassure her that he would be praying for her husband, Paul Pelosi. Since then, many individuals, both online and in Congress, have drawn parallels between the events of the January 6 riot and the presidency of the last occupant of that office, Donald Trump.

Some people have even commented about the assailant's weapons, comparing his statements to those of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who has joked about smashing the US House Speaker's gavel.

Some believe that the notions that Donald Trump and his Republican allies on the extreme right have been spreading, are to blame for the radicalization of some individuals. Suggestions that the incident was staged have fueled the fire of fury throughout social media.
