This is the best summary I could come up with:

Nancy Pelosi suggested that Russia may be funding pro-Palestinian protesters who have been interrupting Democratic campaign events, saying that some calling for a ceasefire are promoting “Putin’s message.”

At an event focused on abortion rights, protesters interrupted Biden’s speech at least a dozen times, demanding a ceasefire, and they were removed from the venue.

They also appeared at his speech in Charleston’s Mother Emanuel AME Church and at a United Auto Workers event last week.

The spokesperson also noted a post on X from Ian Bremmer, a political scientist and professor at Columbia University, who wrote in response to Pelosi’s comments on CNN, “Putin benefits from continued war in Gaza and expanded chaos in the Middle East.”

Russia and Putin have supported a ceasefire and have used Israel’s aggression in Gaza to criticize the United States for its role in the conflict.

Biden also warned Israel in December that it was losing international support due to its “indiscriminate” bombing of Gaza.

The original article contains 803 words, the summary contains 161 words. Saved 80%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

So, the way these comments read there is no Russian influence campaign. Interesting.

Pelosi and Biden are really making me regret defending them against right wing BS conspiracy claims and tankie conspiracy claims for the past decade.

The only thing shocking here is that commenters seem outraged that this would be considered a possibility.

There is a hell of a lot of a lot of foreign interference in American news and politics. Russia, China and the Saudis know no one can defeat the USA except the USA so they push as much division as possible on both ends of the political spectrum.

I want to preface that there are good people on both sides who want the bad people on both sides to stop being....bad. That said, Russia (Putin and his government) is super bad. If Putin can tie up resources anywhere else but against Russia, they're going to do it and often, it just costs them money and/or backroom political deals. The only reason I think her investigation is a bad idea, is because she's not going to find enough evidence - but not because it isn't happening.

It makes perfect sense to check if there's a good reason. I'm curious because many of the protests recently at US universities were supported or started by people who weren't students.

It sounds stupid but she's right. The new crop of loudly political "Protesters" is fueled by a Right Wing astroturfing campaign to get people to throw away their vote this November. The Right Wing is a huge, global group of rich and powerful dickheads who are slowly but surely taking over control of all the world's governments, and this is gonna be the next one, because all you kiddos can't pay attention long enough to realize that you're getting played RIGHT NOW.
