CBS Host Rips NRCC Chair For Vile Video Shooting A Gun To #FirePelosi

Rep. Tom Emmer was forced to use the 'whataboutism' defense for his violent, vile video.

By John Amato — October 30, 2022
Face The Nation host Margaret Brennan took NRCC chairman Rep. Tom Emmer to the woodshed over the violent Twitter video he posted of him shooting a high powered weapon with the hashtag #FirePelosi.

Emmer got flustered when the CBS host confronted his violent attack on Speaker Pelosi just after Paul Pelosi was almost murdered in his home when a MAGA supporter hit him with a hammer.

"I would love to talk about something other than people being worried for their lives, but unfortunately, that's where are," Brennan said.

Ugh, I am sick and tired of lying, forktongued Repukes and their disgusting lies! Good on her for calling him on that crap and not letting him get away with his pathetic, disingenuous excuses and denials!

There's just one side that's been doing it - and they've been harassing, stalking and threatening to murder us for 40+ years now. They have held the entire country hostage because of partisan bullshit. I blame Limbaugh for this shit, and Fox News too.
