Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday former President Donald Trump’s continued attacks against her, Vice President Kamala Harris and others have “no place in a political process.”
“I don’t know why people just think that’s funny — when my husband was attacked, he made a joke of it,” she said on the PBS News Hour, referencing how Trump mocked a 2022 burglary where a man entered her home and attacked her husband with a hammer.
Pelosi said she worries about a chilling effect on “other people who want to engage in politics.”
“If you want to run for office, you don’t want to think you’d jeopardize the health of your family,” she said.
