House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has "surrendered" to the radical
left "mob" by declining to admonish protesters tearing down historical
statues and defacing monuments, Wyoming Republican Sen. John Barrasso said
Friday.

In an interview on "America's Newsroom," Barrasso told host Jon Scott that
the Democratic Party has become extremely "radical," "dangerous," and "out
of touch" under the control of a coalition with socialists, Marxists, and
anarchists.

"People will do what they do," Pelosi, D-Calif., said during a news
conference Thursday at the Capitol.

In her native city of Baltimore. Md. -- where her father served as the
mayor from 1947 to 1959 and her brother Thomas D'Alesandro III also led
the city from 1967 to 1971 -- protesters pulled down a statue of
Christopher Columbus and then tossed the monument into the city’s Inner
Harbor.

"It's up to the communities to decide what statues they want to see,"
Pelosi said, adding that taking down the Columbus monument "doesn't
diminish [her] pride in [her] Italian American heritage."

However, the city's Mayor Bernard C. “Jack” Young had harsh words for the
protesters who destroyed the statue near Little Italy over the Fourth of
July, saying he wouldn't tolerate the destruction of property. Young said
the toppling was unacceptable and the perpetrators, if identified, "will
be brought to justice," The Baltimore Sun reported.

Pelosi said Thursday she's most concerned about looking ahead and she's
not wedded to physical monuments and tokens of the past, noting she didn't
"even have [her] grandmother's earrings."

"This is a city, Baltimore, where Nancy Pelosi's father was the mayor and
he likely contributed money and time to the putting up of that statue to
Christopher Columbus. Now she’s fine with tearing it down," Barrasso said.

"But, Jon," he said, addressing Scott, "it's not just about the statue.
It’s about the whole effort to cancel a culture of this whole movement to
the far, far dangerous left for our country. People [who] want to cancel
and defund the police, want to go after the churches, want to go after
free speech: all of those things are being attacked and she’s willing to
stand by and let it happen."

Barrasso pointed out that the "entire" party was heading in that direction
at the expense of the rest of the country.

"And, the type of things that they want to do, to change America
permanently, and what I believe for the worst, with taking away free
speech, canceling who we are, where we've come from…We ought to be taking
a look and talking about the future," he said. "She's not doing that.

"I think that what she is doing is ignoring the reality of what's
happening. And, what I’m seeing here in Wyoming, talking to people who are
absolutely offended by this approach of the mob…and Nancy Pelosi has
surrendered to them," Barrasso concluded.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood

President Trump has boosted the economy, reduced illegal immigration,
appointed dozens of judges and created jobs.
