Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi shouted back at anti-Israel protesters outside her home, telling them at one point to “go back to China” and claiming that was where their “headquarters” were located.
Shouting back at protesters who were apparently calling for a ceasefire in the ongoing war between Israel and the Iranian-backed terror group Hamas in Gaza, Pelosi said a few times that they should all “go back to China.”
According to several reports, Pelosi’s comment may have been a nod to Code Pink, the anti-war protest group that has been linked to China through founder Jodie Evans and her husband, Shanghai-based tech entrepreneur Neville Roy Singham.
As protesters cornered Pelosi, video showed her attempting to get into a parked vehicle and drive away. The protesters continued to press the former House Speaker for an answer, saying that other members of the Democratic Party were calling for a ceasefire as well.
Pelosi then responded directly, telling them, “Go back to China, that’s where your headquarters is.”
But Pelosi’s comments come just a day after she appeared on “State of the Union,” telling CNN anchor Dana Bash that the pro-Palestinian protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza were tied to Russia and spreading Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “message.”
“For [the pro-Palestinian protesters] to call for a cease-fire is Mr. Putin’s message, Mr. Putin’s message. Make no mistake, this is directly connected to what he would like to see. Same thing with Ukraine. It’s about Putin’s message,” Pelosi said.
“I think some of these protesters are spontaneous and organic and sincere. Some, I think, are connected to Russia. And I say that having looked at this for a long time now, as you know,” she added, and concluded by suggesting that the FBI should investigate the situation further.
