Riots and looting have overwhelmed many of America's major cities, and politicians on both sides of the aisle are hoping to pin the blame on the other party.
But which politicians have actually called for violent conflict?
California Reps. Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters.
In June of 2018, then-House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi wondered why there haven't been "uprisings" against the Trump administration over conditions on the border with Mexico:
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told reporters on Thursday that she is confused why Americans aren’t “uprising” against the Trump administration over conditions on the border with Mexico.
The California Democrat’s weekly press briefing veered into explosive territory when the subject of illegal immigration came up. Mrs. Pelosi said there may be “uprisings” over children who are separated at the U.S. southern border when asylum seekers decide not to arrive at a proper checkpoint.
“I just don’t even know why there aren’t uprisings all over the country, and maybe there will be when people realize that this is a policy that they defend,” she said. “It’s a horrible thing, and I don’t see any prospect for legislation here.”
