House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripped President Donald Trump over his support for anti-lockdown protesters.

Pelosi accused the president of “cheering people” who bring guns and swastikas to anti-lockdown protests during a Wednesday appearance on MSNBC.  (RELATED: FLASHBACK: Feb. 24: Pelosi Stands In San Francisco’s Chinatown And Urges People To Come Out)

“When the science tells us that we can do something differently or to be socially distant, wearing your mask, doing things in a way that is appropriate, but not cheering people on, going with guns and swastikas to the legislature in Michigan and saying these are really good people,” Pelosi said.

Pelosi was referring to protests in Michigan last week where armed anti-lockdown protesters stormed the state capitol to oppose Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s strict stay at home order. Trump urged Whitmer to “make a deal” with the protesters, calling them “very good people.”

Pelosi urged members of Trump’s White House task force to discourage him from supporting anti-lockdown protesters. (RELATED: Authoritarianism On The Rise In America In The Age Of Coronavirus)

“What I don’t understand about someone associated with the task force is how the — the concern that that happened and it’s dangerous and these people can take this home with them and hurt their families and all of the rest, but they never say to the president, ‘don’t — don’t look fondly on that,'” Pelosi said. “That’s not supposed to happen.”

Protests and incidents of civil disobedience have escalated throughout the country as the coronavirus curve flattens, and Americans demand stay at home orders be lifted. Some states have begun the process of reopening as tens of millions of Americans are forced out of work over the pandemic. The most recent jobs report released Wednesday found that more than 20 million jobs were lost last month as the U.S. attempted to stop the spread of the virus.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
