After Columbus Statue Destroyed, Pelosi Says ‘People Will Do What They Do.’ McCarthy Responds.

Several days after vandals toppled a Christopher Columbus statue and then tossed it into Baltimore’s inner harbor near Little Italy, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) seemingly tried to present the act of destruction as a fact of life.

Pelosi made the remarks during a press conference on Thursday after a reporter questioned whether she felt it was appropriate for mobs to topple statues instead of having governments follow the appropriate legal process, reports The Hill.
