House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told U.S. athletes on Thursday that were attending the Winter Olympics in China to ‘compete’ and not to ‘risk incurring the anger of the Chinese government because they are ruthless.’
As The New York Post reports:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday urged US athletes competing in the Beijing Winter Olympics to keep mum on China’s human rights abuses because the country’s government is “ruthless.”
Pelosi issued the warning during testimony at a Congressional-Executive Commission on China. She acknowledged the US has a moral obligation to condemn the rights violations – but insisted the Olympic games were not the proper venue for athletes to voice their concerns.
“If we do not speak out against human rights violations in China, because of commercial interests, we lose all moral authority to speak out against human rights violations anywhere,” Pelosi said.
But addressing athletes, she added: “Do not risk incurring the anger of the Chinese government because they are ruthless.”
Human Rights groups have repeatedly criticized the Chinese Communist regime for its’ consistent record of violating human rights, in particular the rights of the Uyghur people, which many have compared to genocide.
Probably the smartest thing she had said in years
protecting her family’s china money
but it’s ok for american athletes to speak up against our own country!she’s a joke
she is pure evil !!!!!
exactly right!!!!
Three weeks from now you will wish you had started KJH48IYN today. Simply give it a shot on the accompanying site.
GOOD LUCK… 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐲𝐬𝟎𝟏.𝐓𝐤
That could very possibly be the case, this one time. However, where does this drunken old skank get off giving “instructions” to anybody?
Probably the ONLY smart thing she has ever said .
IF the Chinese are so all-fired ruthless (They are!) and an American Government is unwilling to protect our athletes, then our athletes have no business in China. We want no Olympian Otto Warmbiers!!!
Unfortunately, Pelosi is right! They are guests in a foreign country. If they feel they need to speak up, then don’t attend the Olympics!
Shouldn’t be there anyway.
We should have never gone to the Olympics and then nobody would be faced with how they were suppose to talk or act. However, Pelosi should bury her head in the sand and shut her mouth. She is so against the American people and should hang her head in SHAME!!
Old nasty p—-y would like to silence us
ALL LIVES MATTER! I DON’T CARE THE COLOR, RACE, RELIGION OR ORIGEN!!!
Tell that to the Chinese.
Including unborn babies
Nasty pignosey. Real American POS
BLM is a bunch of ignorant thugs and terrorists! They should all be put to a slow, painful death!
Honestly, I’d rather see them expatriated to North Korea. They seem to believe Communism is the way to go . . . . let them go live it firsthand.
Hmm ,an idea who’s time has come !
Pelosi is so corrupt and is sending a message to the athletes to keep their mouths shut or else.
How about because of how the ccp is one of the worst so far a human rights atrocities. Shame
on her. I hope she is removed so the American citizens can move on.
LISTEN UP….WHAT Do YOU Expect AMERICANS to DO When the U.S. GOVT Lets the CHINESE GOVT get AWAY with EVERYTHING????? From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄😇😇😇
Talk about sticking your foot in your mouth. The Leftists (led by Pelosi) are always trying to convince us that the CCP is harmless, then she goes on record calling them “ruthless.” She’s NEVER going to live this down.
Why would an athlete want to talk about foreign policy? Please, somebody answer that question.
After spending 22 years in the Navy and visiting foreign countries, you don’t do anything to embarrass their country, our country, or yourself! It’s probably the smartest thing she has ever said!
code> Don’t piss off my bosses in China
There is no more persons in the Universe as ruthless as Nancy Pelosi & her gang of democrat commies & her followers. Surely she is making a joke, if the US Olympic teams protests China for their Human rights issues she will have them named as terrorists & put on trial for calling China out on their human rights issues China is her money Cow for the old Cow LOL
Yeah , bet they sent hers freezer load of ice cream too . New flavor too . ‘ Covid Chow Mein’
They should not have gone to the China –we are not watching the Winter games or encouraging our friends.
We should not even be participating in the Olympics period
We know where your parents live and if you ever want to see them again, just keep your mouth shut, capiche?
Pelosi is headed to hell, She is in stolen power and will loose soon her seat.Most Americans at least half of us are not idiots. We do not buy all this crap the communist dish out and yes Pelosi is a full blown communist just like the rest of the democratic party and the Rino’s , well a couple dems are not bad if I was them I’d jump ship. You have cowards in the white house afraid of getting offed by the globist so they sell out, we will all loose, just like in Hitlers days
Noooooo . . . . Pelosi is a capitalist. Don’t you remember when the press asked her about her stock portfolio and insider trading?? She praised free market capitalism (sarcasm on turbo level).
FNP!
Ewws !Note en with your junk.
there’s an old saying that advises “When in Rome, do as the Roman’s do” However in the case of the Olympics being held in China, I believe the wisest and most appropriate action we should had taken was not participate at all. Call it a boycott or whatever, I prefer just simply, abstaining from participation.
Communist China may not have a First Amendment, traitor, but we sure as hell do!
So the Olympics is not the proper venue for athletes to voice their concerns but Pelosi and her American Marxist Party feel American sporting events are the proper venue for athletes to disrespect our flag and National Anthem. I will be so happy when this alcoholic bag of wind b**** is out of OUR government for good. PERIOD!!!!
She does NOT have the authority to ban anybody from anything…period…
What gives the wicked witch of the west, to say anything to the Athletes. Is she so far up the CCP butts. She doesn’t want them to makes waves. So that the husband and son can trade with a China companies. She needs to be impeach for insiders trading.
So she wont lose her “investment” in China day 1
The Wicked Witch of the West needs to be burned at the stake for the witch she is!
Witch spelled with a B.
And no one knows “ruthless” better than Nancy. I’d like to know when she decided she was in charge of the Olympian athletes. I guess it’s true what they say when “….in America, anyone can be anything they want to…”. We’ve seen a lot of that this past 20 years. So, join in…..I’ll be Batman.
She is definitely not worried about the athletes,,she is worried about her payback from the Chinese from her investments with the communists,,,she and her husband most likely have some more limo deals here among many others that no one knows about,,she is a liar and goes to the pope for a meeting and the next meeting she has is with Soros who is the devil himself for more fund raising,,she is a corrupt fraud and lies to say she is worried for the athletes,,she is worried about herself ,,Period!
Each And Ever Democrat Will Be Judge Come Judgement Day By God Almighty , I Pray For Their Lost Souls . In The Last Days There Will Be Greed upon This World Look Around Us How Much Greed Is Going On In This World .. Democrats Should Understand SIN IS SIN . I Pray For Their Lost Souls
More TREASON from this person who should be removed from office and recalled by the failing state of CA, same with her nephew who is also a traitor and both are leading the US into becoming a communist country. We need President in his rightful WH Seat.
Lessee – piglousy says athletes of the ‘country of free speech’ should just shut the hell up, while, I see a number of contestants of other countries have already spoken up on how they are being mistreated. This clown oughta be excommunicated to china for the remainder of her existence – it is obvious she has NO use for the Constitution!
Pelosi wants so much to be a dictator but she oversteps time and again. It’s time to put the Olympics committee out of business for giving this to China.
The smartest thing Pelosi could have said is, “The USA is not competing in the 2022 Winter Olympics.” Pelosi’s hypocrisy stinks and her condescending “advice” is a joke. The moral and proper thing to do was to boycott the Winter Olympics. China, which is still classified as a “developing” country by the WTO, is ruled by the CCP, a ruthless, amoral Marxist-Leninist one-party government who’s objective is to stay in power at any cost.
