Rep. [crscore]Nancy Pelosi[/crscore] speaking about the San Bernardino shooting argued, “What gives us the right to hold moments of silence when we do nothing to act upon the cause of the grief?”
During her weekly press conference on Thursday, Pelosi said, “Gun violence is a crisis of epidemic proportion in our nation. We had many, far too many moments of silence on the floor of the House. And while it is right to respectfully acknowledge the losses, we can no longer remain silent.” (RELATED: Democratic Rep. Sanchez Decries ‘Multiautomatic Round Weapons’ [VIDEO])
