GOP gives mixed messages on Paul Pelosi attack

Republicans have responded to the recent attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) with a mix of messages, some of which have prompted sharp criticism from Democrats.

Many in the GOP, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and former Vice President Pence, have vocally condemned the attack.

Former President Trump has opted, in contrast, to remain silent, while responses from several other Republicans have attracted criticism from Democrats for apparently using the situation to advance a political message.
