But if you look at ideologically motivated violence, the crazies on the right who commit violence are usually just mentally deranged people. Or to put it a little different, liberals can be the victims of violence as well. So Nancy Pelosi's husband was attacked by a deranged mentally ill person with a hammer. Now, that was tragic, but I would not describe that as ideologically motivated violence. He was simply a victim of a mentally ill person engaging in an act of violence. (28:08–28:15)

CLAIM
