Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) confronted a group of pro-Palestine protesters who gathered outside her home in San Francisco on Monday.
The demonstrators, who were calling for a ceasefire and an end to the conflict in the Middle East, chanted various anti-Israel statements.
Including, apparently, the claim that something — perhaps the Hamas terrorist attacks in October — was an “inside job.”
In a video captured at the scene, Pelosi can be heard telling protesters to “get out of my way” and advising them to “go back to China where your headquarters are located.”

Pelosi responds to anti-Israel protesters
Pelosi continued the discussion with the group as she got into her SUV. One even shouted: “Stop genocide!” Stop the Holocaust!
The California Democrat may have been citing China in reference to the anti-war organization Code Pink.
Code Pink, along with its co-founder Jodie Evans, is being investigated for possible ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
However, Pelosi literally asserted that the protesters demanding a ceasefire in Gaza are “linked to Russia.”
which is?
Some protesters demanding a ceasefire in Gaza and an end to arms transfers to Ukraine are conveying “Mr. Putin's message,” Nancy Pelosi said on CNN.

I think some of these protesters are spontaneous, organic and sincere. “I think some of them are linked to Russia.”
She added that any calls for a ceasefire are “sir.” Putin's message.
Journalist Glenn Greenwald noted that Pelosi has now placed left-wing pro-Hamas demonstrators in both China and Russia.
“I think she said yesterday that their headquarters is Russia?” He said jokingly.
“Pelosi — like Biden — has been one of Israel’s staunchest supporters in Washington throughout her career,” Greenwald continued.

Pelosi supports peaceful protests
Having now called for an investigation into pro-Hamas protesters and their alleged ties to Russia, then lumped them with China, Pelosi's office has tried to clarify her position.
Her office issued a statement saying the congresswoman supports Americans' rights to “peacefully protest.”
However, “Speaker Pelosi is keenly aware of how foreign adversaries have interfered in American politics to sow division and influence our elections, and she wants to see further investigation before the 2024 election.”
This statement appears to be a hint that these protesters are a conspiracy to help Republicans in the elections. In fact, they are decidedly far-left anti-Semites in the mold of the Democratic “squad.”
Whether it's China or Russia, Pelosi appears poised to assert that foreign adversaries interfered in the election — just as Democrats did for four straight years after the 2016 presidential election.
