Don't Yell Wolf…

…in a crowded theater.


For John, BLUFI think she is some times befuddled, and that is sad.  Nothing to see here; just move along.



From Mr David French, 24 August 2017, in The National Review.

The lede plus 0.9.

Yesterday Nancy Pelosi granted an interview to a San Francisco television station, and the first ninety seconds are something to behold.  She repeated her request that the National Park Service deny a permit to an alleged “alt-right demonstration” called Patriot Prayer.  Pelosi said “not allow these elements to use a national park to spew forth their venom.”  She then said that “protecting people” was the Park Service’s “first responsibility.”

When the interviewer, Pam Moore, pressed Pelosi to consider Patriot Prayer’s First Amendment rights, Pelosi responded, “The Constitution does not say that a person can yell wolf in a crowded theater.  If you are endangering people, then you don’t have a constitutional right to do that.”

The article has the link to the full interview.

Here is how the article ends:

In other words, don’t ask Nancy Pelosi about the First Amendment. She has no idea what it means.
Another reason she should not again be the Speaker of the House.
