Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi hasn’t publicly acknowledged the brutal attack on Riley Gaines.
Gaines was attacked by a man wearing a dress as an outraged mob shouted her down, harassed her and forced her to be barricaded in a San Francisco State University room for hours last Thursday night.
She was on campus speaking in support of women’s rights and pushing back against men dominating women’s athletics. For that, she was attacked and faced the wrath of an out of control mob.

San Francisco State University is in Pelosi’s district, but she apparently couldn’t be bothered to weigh in on Gaines being attacked. She finally found a subject she doesn’t want to discuss.
Multiple attempts to reach out to Pelosi through her office went unanswered. Her last press release was April 5, and had to do with Taiwan.
