'Shameful!' Morning Joe Pans Pelosi Warning US Olympians Not To Protest
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/04/2022 10:58:01 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

When it came to reacting to Nancy Pelosi warning US Olympians not to protest China's human rights abuses, there was a striking contrast today between members of the Morning Joe cast and its panelists

At least during the first segment, co-host Mika Brzezinski never commented on Pelosi's warning, other than to utter a "wow" at the end of the clip of the Speaker's remarks. And Willie Geist said that Pelosi "sounds genuinely concerned about the physical safety of these athletes." Geist claimed, "that's not a defense of it," but it sure sounded like one.

Most surprising was "MSNBC Republican" and Never Trumper Elise Jordan. It's hard to remember the last time she sharply criticized a Democrat. But Jordan was scathing about the Speaker, calling her attempt to silence the Olympians, "shameful, shameful." She concluded by saying that Pelosi's warning "just blows my mind."

I know they are not waking up to reality because their minds are already blown - so I have no idea why they stumble upon a rational thought.

Way to go Nancy, let our citizens know you won’t protect their families from Chinese retaliation.

The Democrat party is owned by the drug cartels and China.

speaking up is important - but i have serious concerns that if a U S citizen were disappeared that Joe’s crew would work hard to get him/her back. they are generally incompetent and hardly strong of will when it comes to matters like this.

So instead, Pelosi thoroughly pisses of the Chi-Coms by telling others not to piss off the Chi-coms.

Looks like Paul Pelosi just got his limo contract cancelled.

When in Rome…

As long as one understands the laws where they are and keep their protests within the confines of said law, do your thing.

It is ridiculous idiocy to break the law in a hostile nation with a decrepit pedophile monster who has no legitimate credibility due to a completely fraudulently election is running ours. He will not risk a thing to help an American citizens in jeopardy abroad.

Hence your fate will be “Off to gulag” while the filthy commies waive their filthy arses in fraud pedojoe’s face while he waves his hands towards his nose sniffing, saying; “That brings back memories”…

Because a fraud like that will not risk anything to further diminish his already tenuous grip on power.

Don’t be stupid.

Don’t participate.

Did I trigger any visiting lefttards? When the time comes, he will abandon you, too.

But it is ok with Pelosi if U.S. Olympic athletes want to protest the U.S. while they are in China.

Remember that poor young man in north korea at the last phase of the Obama years that Obama did NOTHING to try and get that kids released, and when Trump came into office he finally got him sent home, but by then it was too late - he was in a coma and died shortly after seeing his folks...you can’t count on any democrat giving an F’ng care for regular US citizens!
I pray for a NOVEMBER RED SUNAMI for democrats in congress.
May they all be WIPED OUT OF OFFICE!

If I may be so forward to interpret Nancy Pelosi’s comments it is as follows.

“I am totally attached to Chinese money and influence and political beliefs, and you must kiss their ass as I do every morning when I wake up. You will get accustomed to the foul taste as you view you bank account increasing every day.”

It is disgraceful to protest against China for human rights abuses like slavery and ethnic extermination.

It is the right thing to do for multimillion dollar athletes to protest their horrendous treatment in America.

Makes sense to somebody, not me.
