Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

If that's the case then fuck Code Pink, but I still don't see what that has to do with Pelosi telling those protestors to go back to China. That happened on January 30th, over two weeks after the Code Pink protests you're talking about.

I might be misinterpreting you and maybe you think not all protestors against Israeli apartheid are Chinese plants, but if that's the case why act like one wild accusation by a boomer neolib is actually totally right? Maybe there was a 3rd Code Pink rally at her place, but I didn't get that from the sources I saw, just that the one where she says "go back to China" was also at her house. There's no connection between her accusation and the Code Pink protests, let alone any other protest. She's just an AIPAC mouthpiece saying what her donors and constituents want to hear, which is that protesting Israel is invalid and actually Chinese and Russian propaganda

It was Code Pink doing that protest at Pelosi's house not random protestors.

This video is from Code Pinks official YT if you want direct proof from them themselves that is is them, and you can see them in pink holding up pink signs in the fuller clip they posted.

tl;dr: Direct connection between her accusation and the Code Pink protests, from Code Pink themselves.

Alright, I have no idea why that clip took so long to circulate but yea you're right. Most news stories I saw on it didn't have that context which is kinda misleading, knowing who Code Pink is gives that some new meaning. She's stated similar stuff about all the protests tho, calling for investigations into Russian involvement in antizionist rallies to delegitimize the whole movement. So in the end Idk if the context even means that much since she'd be saying something similar no matter who was at her house cx thank you for letting me know that, I always thought that was just her being a zionist shill and doing the classic "blame China" strategy

Also sorry for saying you're disgusting earlier, I wrongfully assumed you were one of those weird warmongering liberals on here who thinks anyone pro palestinian or remotely critical of biden is a tankie or russian plant or trump supporter
