Former President Trump took a blow at former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Friday during a speech at the California GOP convention.
“We’ll stand up to crazy Nancy Pelosi, who ruined San Francisco,” Trump said to the crowd. “How’s her husband doing, by the way, anybody know?”
“She’s against building a wall at our border, even though she has a wall around her house — which obviously didn’t do a very good job,” he added, seemingly mocking the Democratic congresswoman.
Pelosi has become a popular punching bag for Trump, who often faced off against the former Speaker while he was president. His comments about her husband, Paul Pelosi, were referring to an attack by a home intruder late last year that left him in critical condition.
Trump at the time called the incident a “terrible thing.” A week after the incident, the former president’s son Donald Trump Jr. posted memes advocating to ban hammers — the weapon used in the attack.
While California, while not competitive in the general election, is key for the GOP presidential primary. In the speech, Trump decried the state’s Democratic leadership.
“Together we will reverse the decline of America and we will end the desecration of your once great state California,” Trump said. “This is not a great state anymore. This is a dumping ground. You’re a dumping ground.”
Later in the speech, Trump dropped a profanity-laced line going after President Biden. He said the Department of Justice was targeting him with multiple criminal indictments because he is a strong political opponent to Biden.
“What they’ve done is they’ve gone after opponents,” the former president argued, adding that if “somebody’s beating you by 10, 15, or 20 points like we’re doing with Crooked Joe Biden,” they will go after you.
“Let’s indict the motherf—er! Let’s indict him,’” he said, doing what seemed to be an impersonation of the president.
Trump, however, did not mention the death of longtime California Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D) earlier Friday.
Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) also spoke at the convention on Friday. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy and Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) are scheduled to speak on Saturday.
