The Democrats let the cat out of the bag, and now it's clawing them in the face.
It's hard to feel too much sympathy since Pelosi and her fellow Democrats have only themselves to blame for their current predicament.
In the run-up to the 2018 midterm elections, Democrats explicitly encouraged their supporters to harass Republican officials, condoned the violent domestic terrorism of the Antifa movement, and called for baying mobs to illegally disrupt congressional proceedings during the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Hillary Clinton even threatened that the mayhem would continue indefinitely if Democrats didn't win control of at least one chamber of Congress.
Now, the same cynical tactics that Democrats so gleefully applauded when Republicans were the targets have been turned against them, and by the very radical activists they used as political pawns.
It's happening with the active encouragement of some of the ultra-progressive candidates that Democrats used to stoke the enthusiasm of those activists.
The Democrats thought they could harness the fury of the far-left - anti-democratic, violent, and radical to its core - for their short term political gains.
