    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.”

    Protesters disrupted Pelosi’s appearance in Seattle on Thursday to call for an end to Israel‘s assault on Palestine. Vocal demonstrators have also been appearing regularly at President Joe Biden’s events. Pelosi said that she would like the FBI to investigate whether Russia is financing these groups.

  2. Russia is actively seeding and antagonizing this situation.

  3. Is this really what we’re doing? You’d rather say huge swarths of your base including but not limited to Arizona & Texas Democratic parties, 80% of Democrats, 60% of Americans, thousands of Black pastors, Doctors Without Borders, and the UAW could be Russian plants than say “hey, maybe we’re on the wrong side here and if not for moral reasons then for political ones (cause this is absolutely killing us rn) we should listen and pivot”?

  4. Why does it require russian funding to be against Israel killing civilians during a land grab?

  5. Who knows? They might be Iran-backed Russian-funded Chinese-sponsored agitators.

  6. Is Russia probably seeding social media campaigns to pounce of this issue? Yes.

    Is the majority of protests artificial? No.

    It’s stupid to dismiss sincere concerns of your voters merely because a portion of those concerns are exacerbated by bad actors.

  7. regardless of which side you ‘support’, of course Russia is weaponising the debate. They do it over everything. They don’t want people to be properly informed or happy in life. The purpose of Russia is to drag everyone down to their level of misery.

  8. Nancy, it’s not Russians, we genuinely don’t want to slaughter children; there isn’t any more to it

  9. Or her disdain for Palestinian solidarity has a connection to Israeli lobbying groups. Which connection is of real consequence here?

  10. How about the FBI investigate Congress people with ties to Russia. You know lie the repbuicans.

  11. This sounds like a fantastic way for Dems to absolutely sabotage their position in the 2024 election.

  12. What the fuck, people against genocide support dictators

  13. Nobody sabotages Democrats as much as they do it to themselves. Picking the one hill that might actually hurt Democrats with progressives and neutrals to die on is fucking stupid.

  14. This is embarrassing, she seems convinced that people cant just be pro Palestinian rights or legitimately want a cease fire, Russians must be behind it all, what an out of touch dinosaur

  15. That’s a weird way of saying “Pelosi wants fbi to investigate Israeli protesters”

  16. Okay while we’re at it let’s investigate her for her numerous insider trading bullshit

  17. Yes, because nobody could ever be horrified by a largely ignored ethnic cleansing/genocide.

    🙄

  18. Isn’t this the same excuse they used during the civil rights movement? That the protests were fueled by foreign agents? And even if it was the only reason I can vote and live better is because of those movements. Does that mean those movements were wrong?

  19. Ah yes, just like how the civil rights movement was investigated for having ties to communism. Why are we still continuing to give insufficient attention to the racist terrorists that we have here in our own country?

  20. Wow, Pelosi doing her best work here. She’s giving cover to lots of MAGA 2016 folks. Way to make everyone doubt reality.

  21. If we’re making request – FBI can you look into Ms Pelosi’s stock trading history?

  22. If people don’t think Russia is astroturfing this and fanning the flames they’re out of their minds. Social media has been full of absolutely insane shit like people praising the huthi rebels for bombing ships.

  23. I’ve sympathized with the Palestinians since before the invasion of Ukraine, before Putin came to power, before the Russian Federation existed. But whatever Nancy.

  24. What a ghoul. How about someone investigate her insider trading?

  25. This is the Democratic version of Republicans calling anyone who disagrees with them a communist

  26. Oh yes constitutional rights. Where you can do and say anything you want, but if they disapprove, we’ll investigate this shit out of you.

  27. Lmaooo this is is hilariously dumb,

    I swear if she thinks the majority of folks upset are Russian agents then you might as well say that to all the folks in MI where we have a large MENA community.

    I’m a Dem and seeing things like this really makes me laugh at the sheer incompetence of Dem leadership.

  28. Let’s investigate your insider trading there, Nancy.
