House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was immensely critical of President Trump’s attack against former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter during his last rally.
Pelosi made the remarks during a Democratic caucus phone call on Friday, a day after the president held a rally in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Thursday.
“POTUS — you know, that’s the President — POTUS has become a potty-mouth and children are listening,” Pelosi said on the call, according to CNN’s Manu Raju. “This is — this is beyond disgraceful. But, for him to say the thing that he said about Joe Biden last night was so far beyond the pale.”
“His policy, his personality, his potty-mouth, that’s about the election and let’s make sure that we understand the reasons he is – the inquiry is because he has not honored his oath of office. We will honor ours,” Pelosi said, per aide

“His policy, his personality, his potty-mouth, that’s about the election and let’s make sure that we understand the reasons he is — the inquiry is because he has not honored his oath of office. We will honor ours,” she continued.
Trump attacked Joe and Hunter Biden during the rally on multiple occasions, but the attacks began with Eric Trump, who took the stage before his father. He led the crowd in chants of “Lock him up!” in regard to the former vice president and his son.
“He was never considered a good senator,” Trump said of Biden during the rally. “He was only a good vice president because he understood how to kiss Barack Obama’s ass.”
“Whatever happened to Hunter? Where the hell is he?” he later added.
