Chairman Sessions Responds to Speaker Pelosi’s Accusations

Washington- National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) Chairman Pete Sessions (R-TX) issued the following statement in response to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s charges that Republican rhetoric will incite ‘violence’ among the American people:

“Speaker Pelosi is right that the American people are upset, but it is her own words that continue to fuel voter frustration in America,” said Chairman Sessions. “No longer content with criticizing concerned citizens for being ‘un-American,’ the Speaker is now likening genuine opposition to assassination.  Such insulting rhetoric not only undermines the credibility of her office, but it underscores the desperate attempt by her party to divert attention away from a failing agenda.  During one of the most important policy debates of our time, the American people have been completely abandoned by those elected representatives under her control.  Voters are justifiably frustrated with Washington, and the Speaker’s verbal assault on voters accomplishes nothing other than furthering her reputation for being wildly out of touch with the American people.”
