    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
