On Friday, an intruder broke into House Speaker Pelosi's home, which she shares with her husband, Paul Pelosi. The attacker was arrested, but not before seriously injuring Mr. Pelosi, 82, who is now recovering from brain surgery.

Interestingly, on Thursday night, controversial Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has shown support for violence against Democrats in the past, tweeted, "Just wait until tomorrow."

And after the violent attack, she had more to say. Rep. Sporkfoot somehow made the attack on Paul Pelosi all about her.

"Violence and crime are rampant in Joe Biden's America," she tweeted. "It shouldn't happen to Paul Pelosi. It shouldn't happen to innocent Americans. It shouldn't happen to me. (Swatted six times, violence & death threats every day)."

"Whether it's Atlanta, Chicago, NY, or San Francisco, we need to fund & support police and end the deadly nationwide crime. Praying for Paul Pelosi," it added.

Democratic Rep. Jim McGovern had a little something to say about that.

Others weighed in, too:

I'm not buying that she's praying for Paul Pelosi. I'm sure when the news broke, she was somewhere touching herself. This is the America that Marge wants. And she blamed President Biden for what a QAnon believing Trump cultist did. Incredible.
