House Speaker Nancy Pelosi deleted a tweet she’d shared in support of Jussie Smollett after Chicago police said there have been “developments” in the investigation into the alleged hate attack on the Empire actor.
Pelosi, 78, tweeted her disgust with the alleged attack on Jan. 29 after the Chicago Police Department said the Empire star was allegedly involved in a “racially-charged assault and battery.”
“The racist, homophobic attack on @JussieSmollett is an affront to our humanity,” she wrote on Jan. 30. “No one should be attacked for who they are or whom they love. I pray that Jussie has a speedy recovery & that justice is served. May we all commit to ending this hate once & for all.”

No need to show patience or restraint. Just say whatever you want to score political points and then pretend it never happened if you get proven wrong. Cowardly.

Those all seem like reasonable positions, right?

If only there was a way to capture screen shots of these tweets before they were erased, we could use them to mock the tweeters!

She got trolled bad by Smollett....

Sometimes it's best to wait and get the facts.

We never get too old to learn this crap.

Is she still chewing the inside of her mouth or is she dead?

Why is it so hard for people to avoid spewing opinions on cases that fit their warped narratives without facts? Nancy isn’t the only blue check mark deleting tweets over the past 48 hours.

I would think as SOH her tweets fall under the same preservation guidelines as POTUS. FOIA, Records Act, that sort of stuff.

Her tweets should be always out in the open, front and center, for all the citizens to see her Leadership.

When they say things like this, what is it that they want us to do?


What are everyday Americans supposed to do? Hate crimes are very rare in the first place.

If that were all she’d said, but it wasn’t. You left out the false premise.
