Pelosi: President Bush Must Denounce Robertson’s Call to Assassinate the President of Venezuela
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on Pat Robertson’s remarks this week that the United States assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez:
“President Bush must unequivocally denounce Pat Robertson’s outrageous call for the United States to assassinate the President of Venezuela.
“At a time when the invasion of Iraq has caused such damage to the international reputation of the United States, the last thing we need is a prominent Republican advocating assassination as a foreign policy tool. President Bush must respond to the Robertson statement forcefully to make clear that his Administration not only understands the reasons why our law prohibits assassination, but is committed to following the law.”
“ Democrats are united in presenting a New Direction for America, one that will make our nation as strong as its people, one that brings opportunity, security, and prosperity to all Americans. ”
Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi
