House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is suggesting that lawmakers need additional security as she claims members of the House of Representatives are facing threats from their colleagues.
During a weekly press conference on Thursday, Pelosi said, “I do believe, and I have said this all along, that we will probably need a supplemental for more security for members when the enemy is within the House of Representatives.”
“A threat that members are concerned about in addition to what is happening outside,” she added.

Later, she was asked to clarify what she meant about the enemy being “within” the House.
She said, “We have members of Congress that want to bring guns on the floor and have threatened violence on other members of Congress.”

Pelosi’s comments come after CNN’s KFile published a report on freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) social media history, from before she took office, where she appeared to signal support for posts that called for the execution of prominent Democrats.
Greene liked one post in 2019 that said the quickest way to remove Pelosi her post was for her to get “a bullet to the head.”
