Is Pelosi saying she wants to hit Trump any different than McCarthy saying he wants to whack her with the speaker's gavel? Both are inappropriate, but neither is seriously advocating violence against the other.
they're different in one way, Pelosi trying to physically hurt trump would be a sick combination of pathetic and cute. it's like your grandma saying "i wish i was there i would have gone at him", there's zero threat of actual harm.
overall i find the whole "encouraging violence" narratives against politicians when an actual attack happens to be fairly hollow. nutbags take what obviously not meant to be literal 100% serious and have a psychotic break then we blame CNN or Fox News? silly.
