Once again, a staunch liberal is confronted by the consequences of left-wing policy and does not seem to like it very much.
This time, it was San Francisco Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi.
As reported by The Daily Wire on Monday, radical pro-Palestinian protesters showed up outside Pelosi’s California home.
They were demanding a ceasefire in Gaza, where Israel has struck back against Hamas for the vicious terrorist attack on Oct. 7, 2023, that killed more than 1,200 Jews, including more than 32 Americans.

Such protests have been a regular feature in blue, Democrat-run cities, college campuses, and even in the halls of Congress since Israel’s counterattack began. Many Democrats, especially in Congress, have cheered them on.
Pelosi, though, did not take kindly to the otherwise kindred spirits making their presence known in her driveway.
As the pro-Hamas protesters pressed her as she attempted to get into a waiting SUV, an agitated Pelosi yelled at them, “Go back to China, that’s where your headquarters is.”
Pelosi repeated the phrase a few times, as shown in the video.
It was the second time in two days that Pelosi sought to link the pro-Hamas, left-wing demonstrations to a communist regime.
During a CNN interview on Sunday, Pelosi accused such protesters of being puppets of Moscow.

“For [the pro-Palestinian protesters] to call for a cease-fire is Mr. [Russian President Vladimir] 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 told CNN.
“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,” the former House speaker added.
The Daily Wire noted that Pelosi — in an action becoming all too common for Democrats in power — also called for the FBI to dig into such demonstrations, an odd move considering the protesters are primarily liberals.
Leftists rebuked her for both trying to tie the protests to Putin and wanting to sic the FBI on protesters.
Radical Council on American-Islamic Relations Executive Director Nihad Awad said Pelosi’s claim was “delusional” and her demand for an FBI investigation was “downright authoritarian,” according to The New Republic on Monday.

“Sadly, Rep. Pelosi’s comments echo a time in our nation when opponents of the Vietnam War were accused of being communist sympathizers and subjected to FBI harassment,” Awad said in a statement.
“Instead of baselessly smearing those Americans as Russian collaborators,” he added, “former House Speaker Pelosi and other political leaders should respect the will of the American people by calling for an end to the Netanyahu government’s genocidal war on the people of Gaza.”
