President Trump took off Wednesday on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, inaccurately saying she invited people to “parties” in San Francisco’s Chinatown in late February after he had taken his first significant steps to try to limit the U.S. spread of the coronavirus.
Trump said at his daily White House news briefing that after he barred travelers from China on Feb. 2 and set up screening rules for U.S. citizens returning from the country, “Nancy Pelosi was trying to have in San Francisco parties in Chinatown because she thought it would be great.”
Trump was misleadingly describing a tour of Chinatown that Pelosi made Feb. 24 with local merchants, having lunch and visiting shops and businesses as customers vanished from the area.
“We should come to Chinatown,” she said outside the Dim Sum Corner Restaurant on Grant Avenue. “Precautions have been taken by our city. We know that there is concern surrounding tourism ... but we think it’s very safe to be in Chinatown and hope that others will come.”

The left have huge balls because nobody ever checks them. The lie to our faces, and half the dopes buy into it.
We all SAW the video and what she was saying. We know she did it to say POTUS was OVER REACHING in his travel ban and trying to create fear and panic to distract from his administration. Her WORDS.
So fu the SFC.
Nice try, Chron Boyz, but we have her on VIDEO.
Suckers!
Pelosi should just pack up, go home and STAY there. The rest of the world would be better off.
The article ended with the race card. Amazing.
Her doing precisely this is recorded! The Left truly does live in an alternate “reality”.
But she did.
Just another crap paper.
This rag should be put down on the sidewalk to give the homeless a place to do their business.
Accusations of inaccuracy are funny coming from a gutter-crawling rag that is full of lies from end to end.
Who are you going to believe? Your own eyes and ears or the SF Chron?
I hope all the readers of the Chronicle watched that Task Force press briefing as they would have seen Pelosi telling people to go there no matter what the paper says.
So the SFC is now the guardian and arbiter of misleading statements by politicians. Got it.
It took me five seconds to find THIS after searching YouTube for +Pelosi +Chinatown:

GUILTY
The article is deliberately focusing on a gnat while ignoring the skeeters. Trump’s point was that she encouraged people to come visit and dine and so on in an area with a higher than average probability of having covid19 infectious persons. That’s a fact- she did it because being PC was more important to her than people’s safety. Whether she used the word party or not is irrelevant.
If they hide it, it didn’t happen.
News sources for fools.
I think Trump purposely used the word “party” to slightly misrepresent what Pelosi did in order to goad the media into covering the issue. Trump will be Trump. More winning.
I think they're being paid to do this sort of thing by individuals and organizations who don't want to be known.
She also said she had confidence in Fauci and what he was telling her
This was on Feb 24 while walking and dining in Chinatown
