From fucking Xitter moderation in the article even:
"Video has been edited. Pelosi actually says, “Go back to China where your headquarters is”
Way to fall for the disinformation.
Now the real question is “is that organization actually headquartered in China?” Because that would be quite the coincidence…
I said something similar when she claimed it was Russia pushing protests, but maybe she could be right. Both China and Russia are known to use agents provocateur, and have an interest in sowong discord in the US.
That’s not a defense for supporting a genocide. Leaders in the west are making it easy for foreign agents to lather up protesters because they provide plenty of material for their pamphlets. If there were no valid complaints, then the efforts would become far more transparent and far less effective.

Exactly, and we should know how to handle this, when this same thing happened back in the day with KGB agents stirring up shit about Jim Crow, lawmakers said “y’know what, you’re right” and passed the Civil Rights Acts
Well they passed the CRA after decades of deriding anyone who supported civil rights. They blacklisted a lot of people for exactly that
Yeah, that’s true, I guess I was just hoping we could skip to the end of the story this time since we know how it turns out
In the context portion of the community note, there’s a link to a NYT article about the shady funding of one of the board members of Code Pink and a big donor to anti-war protestors like them.
He claims to not work with/for the Chinese government but from the article:
But Mr. Singham, 69, himself sits in Shanghai, where one outlet in his network is co-producing a YouTube show financed in part by the city’s propaganda department. Two others are working with a Chinese university to “spread China’s voice to the world.” And last month, Mr. Singham joined a Communist Party workshop about promoting the party internationally.
I can’t tell, and none of the articles I’ve seen about this mention, if these protestors were Code Pink or one of the groups associated with Sigham.
EDIT: I want to make clear, I’m not trying to justify or support the article or the shitty person who originally tweeted it, just pointing out the context for the actual statement Pelosi made about going “back to China where your headquarters is”
Maybe she could fuck off back to Davos where her headquarters are
This ~account exclusively posts articles from this one website~ whoops, that was someone else. Well, this website is rife with shady writing and topics.
Mild disinformation and biased reporting is probably the point.
As a Democrat, fuck her and anyone supporting genocide.
Hear hear, but unfortunately “anyone supporting genocide” includes this website
As a Democrat, fuck people who misapply the term genocide to trash Israel.
Is this for real? Time to fuckin retire, Nikki.
Edit: that’s a serious question though because I’ve never heard of menzmag or whatever website this is from, but she needs to retire either way.
It’s a shitty propaganda site
She’s blaming Russians, not China
It still doesn’t make sense tho
She’s calling protestors calling for a cease fire Russian paid operatives, but then also calling for a cease fire now that this story is blowing up?
I don’t think she understands what’s going on, just another elderly “moderate” who acts more like trump everyday.
No idea why they don’t just retire and attempt to enjoy their remaining years, no one is asking for them to stick around till they die in office.
They’re super unreliable crypto right wingers that wish they were like a barstool sports or lad bible, but this story is more or less accurate
Please stop helping out the Menzmag spammer and their lying articles.
Centrist Dems so completely certain that they are right, any disagreement must be a conspiracy. Fish hook theory strikes again.
Do you have text that explains this image?
Im guessing its a take on the horseshoe theory centrists like to spam that both left and right are the same, but flipping it around to say centrists and right are the same.
First time seeing it, but its a clever rebuttal to a simplistic take.
tl;dr: no u
So, centrists are very fond of a thing called ‘horseshoe theory’ which posits that as the left gets further left it ends up meeting the far right.
Fish hook theory is a riposte.
Image description: a fish hook with the ‘far right’ tip of the hook bending around to meet the ‘centre’ of the shaft, with the end of the shaft being the ‘far left’.
I used to think horseshoe theory was an ironic joke. It’s so obviously bogus that it took a while for it to sink in that some people actually believe it.
Did they then go back to China?
It takes a while to dig.
Somewhere in the southeastern US, there’s some remnants of a 35 year old sandbox with a couple hot wheels buried four feet down. Yeah it takes a while.
Are you my brother?
Menzmag botspam is not welcome here. You can keep making accounts, they will keep getting banned.

PSA: Responding to someone offering up the slightest bit of valid criticism by assuming they’re a “Chinese bot” or a “Russian shill” is never a good look
It’s clearly an altered headline made to get attention. It is time for pelosi to go, but this is a manufactured headline skewing what she said… But also fuck her - I stand with the people of Palestine.
It’s clearly an altered headline made to get attention
Which part is inaccurate?
Edit: Nevermind, I see it now. Yeah, not a very good source, huh? But still, we need to speak out against our nation’s support for a genocidal regime – every chance we get.
