RNC chair Ronna McDaniel says it's 'unfair' to link GOP criticism of Nancy Pelosi to her husband being attacked by an intruder at their California home

Ronna said it was unfair to suggest that GOP messaging contributed to the assault on Nancy Pelosi's husband.

During an appearance on "Fox News Sunday," host Shannon Bream presented a recently published Washington Post article that detailed the party's yearslong drive to demonize the veteran California Democrat, who became the first female House speaker in United States history.

The GOP messaging was not problematic or inciting violence and instead was lambasted by Democrats.

It's not possible to say "Let's fire Pelosi" or "Let's take back the House" It isn't fair. She believes that violence is up across the board. The criminal would probably be out on the street tomorrow if this weren't for Paul Pelosi.

The attacker of Lee Zeldin was on the street immediately after the attack. She was referring to an attack against the New York GOP governor nominee. We would like to see Paul Pelosi recover. We do not like this at all.

The speaker has been a political foil for the Republicans for a long time.

Many GOP lawmakers have spoken out against the attack, but former President Donald Trump has yet to issue a statement.
