Politico reports:
Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, blasted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday for saying she wants to see the president in prison, and likened her to Sen. Joseph McCarthy during the Red Scare of the 1950s.
Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) defended Pelosi’s comments Sunday morning in a conversation with Brett Baier, host of “Fox News Sunday.”
“It’s kind of rich to have the president complain about this when he began a campaign with ‘lock her up’ as his bumper sticker and led an effort to delegitimize the first African-American president by claiming he wasn’t born in this country,” Cicilline said, referring to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
Pelosi said @realDonaldTrump should go to prison. But she said nothing about a trial or a jury or a presumption of innnocence. Is this worse than Joe McCarthy? They are destroying any adherence to our constitution. And the Fake News failure to hold them accountable is corrupt.

Pelosi wants to see @realDonaldTrump in prison.She doesn’t have a particular crime in mind just prison. If you can’t see she’s over the top,if not over the Hill, you are blinded by partisanship or hatred.
