Nancy Pelosi on Jacob Blake shooting: ‘Didn't seem as if there was any justification for it’

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” Wednesday night. The congresswoman discussed the protests erupting in Kenosha, Wis., over the police shooting of Jacob Blake on Sunday. Blake, who is Black, was shot seven times in the back but managed to survive with serious injuries. “Jacob Blake was shot seven times for something — well, when you saw it, it didn’t seem as if there was any justification for it,” said Pelosi, “especially in front of his children.” Pelosi also discussed the shooting that took place during protests on Tuesday, which left two people dead and resulted in an alleged “militia” member being charged with homicide. She questioned President Trump’s involvement in tension between protesters and counterprotesters. “What is the responsibility that the president needs to feel about what encouragement, or whatever the word is, that he may have given?” asked Pelosi. “The comfort level for someone to do such a thing and be so brazen about it?”
