House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) went on the defensive this week when asked by FOX Business about preventing slave labor in China.
"One of the things that Senator Rubio has said is that the reason why the House has not voted on that Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act is because [U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate] John Kerry has lobbied you and others not to act on it and to slow-walk it, so it doesn’t complicate his climate change negotiations with China. Is that true?" asked FOX Business’ Hillary Vaughn.
"No, it is not true, and you know, again, if you want to repeat the charges of the Republicans, that’s up to you, but that is completely not true," Pelosi fired back.
"For over 30 years, I have been the considered the most disliked - they use stronger language than that … in China - because of my assault on their human rights violations, and no, that’s absolutely, positively not true. But you asked the question, so they won their case," the speaker claimed without providing evidence.
Critics, however, have pointed out that Pelosi was quick to cozy up to China in the past when it was politically convenient and is doing the same again.
"The Biden administration and Nancy Pelosi one-up their absurdity daily. Their willingness to slow-walk human rights legislation that would hamstring China’s slave labor operation is obscene," said Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Pa.) to FOX Business.
"John Kerry gallivants across the world on his private jet in the name of climate change, while Uyghur Muslims are held in reeducation camps and subjected to forced labor in the name of profit margins for the CCP. Which is more important? That’s a question I would love Speaker Pelosi to answer," the Pennsylvania congressman continued.

Pelosi snaps?
What was it, stretched too tight by the plastic surgeon?
Hey Nancy most of your job is answering questions about what the hell you’re up to or not up to
Madame wrinkle, did you get a bad batch of Chinese bat butt botox? What crawled in you and died? Late payment?
Awww naww
Someone should ask her about her controlling interest in Starkist Tuna and about the slave labor like conditions in their factory in American Samoa.
De Santis should tell her that her presence in Florida is neither needed, requested, or even allowed. Not sure he could do all that,but she needs to be shown that she is not the hot stuff she thinks she is. After all, hasn’t she generally treated the public & others rather poorly most of the time in many respects? In some minds, that may be putting it a little too gently. Maybe someone could tell her that she would be more welcome in Cuba or Venezuela
