'The enemy is within': Pelosi echoes Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's warnings about GOP members who've

'threatened violence' against Democrats

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi argued on Thursday that some Republican lawmakers, who she accused of "threatening violence" against their Democratic colleagues, are "the enemy" within the House.

Pelosi appeared to back Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other Democratic lawmakers who've claimed that some GOP members pose a threat to them in the wake of the deadly Capitol siege on January 6.

"I do believe ... that we will probably need a supplemental, more security for members when the enemy is within the House of Representatives - a threat that members are concerned about, in addition to what is happening outside," Pelosi said during a press briefing.

When asked to clarify her remark, Pelosi added, "It means that we have members of Congress who want to bring guns on the floor and who have threatened violence on other members of Congress."

called for putting a bullet in Nancy's head before she even ran for congress, followed by various other violent threats. My best guess is that Greene would have been among those attacking from outside if election hadn't put her inside.
