> That horrible old bitch has a lot of nerve.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on Sunday said she hopes to ask the FBI to
investigate protesters calling for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war
and suggested that some of the antiwar demonstrations are linked to
Russia.
During an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” the former House
speaker shared her belief that some of the protesters are “connected” to
Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“For them to call for a cease-fire is Mr. 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 said.
“I think some of these — 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,” she continued.
Pressed on whether she thinks some of the protesters are Russian plants,
Pelosi said she would like to have the FBI look into the matter.
“I didn’t say they’re plants. I think some financing should be
investigated,” she said. “And I want to ask the FBI to investigate that.”
Asked about how concerned she is that voters such as young people, Arab
Americans and progressives might stay home instead of voting for President
Joe Biden in the general election, given the growing number of protests at
his campaign events, Pelosi said she has been a “recipient” of what she
described as the “exuberances” of protesters.
“They’re in front of my house all the time. So I have a feeling for what
feelings they have, but we have to think about what we’re doing,” she
said. “And what we have to do is try to stop the suffering and gossip.
This is women and children. People don’t have a place to go, so let’s
address that.”
Asked to comment on Pelosi’s remarks, a spokesperson for the California
Democrat said she is supportive of peaceful protests and is concerned
about foreign adversaries meddling in the 2024 presidential election.
“As Speaker Pelosi said on CNN, we have to focus on stopping the suffering
in Gaza, and she will continue demanding that all hostages be freed now,”
the spokesperson said in a statement. “Speaker Pelosi has always supported
and defended the right of all Americans to make their views known through
peaceful protest.”
“Informed by three decades on the House Intelligence Committee, Speaker
Pelosi is acutely aware of how foreign adversaries meddle in American
politics to sow division and impact our elections, and she wants to see
further investigation ahead of the 2024 election,” the spokesperson added.
Pelosi's comments underscored a growing divide within the Democratic
Party. Her statement drew a contrast with remarks given nearly
simultaneously by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., a member of the
progressive “Squad” of House members. During a Sunday appearance on NBC’s
“Meet the Press,” Ocasio-Cortez said she thinks that ongoing protests at
Biden campaign events show that “young people are appalled at the violence
and the indiscriminate loss of life.”
Protests during Biden’s campaign events have increased amid the
president’s outspoken support for Israel. In response to the mounting
protests, Biden’s advisers and Democratic Party leaders have adopted a
new, ramped-up approach to dealing with the protests that indicate
fractures within his own party over his handling of the war.
At the same time, the Biden administration is discussing using weaponry
sales to Israel as leverage in efforts to get Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu’s government to curtail its military assault in the Gaza Strip,
NBC News reported on Sunday.
