‘Trump inaccurately says Pelosi called for parties in SF’s Chinatown as coronavirus loomed’ (SF Chron tries to cover for Nancy)
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | April 15, 2020 | John Wildermuth

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.”

Hasn’t she been less visible of late?

Pelosi stated, “We should come to Chinatown,”

Sure, as soon as a learn to juggle a flaming chain saw while skateboarding on ice.

I think he might have meant it in this SF sense...

Well, let's put it this way: she's been more visible than Kevin Spacey.

Yes, it is on the record. The stupid botoxed witch did encourage naive tourists
to expose themselves to Wuhan Flu.

She is devoid of conscience.

In hiding because she can’t get her regular botox treatments. Not an essential service.

#29: "The stupid botoxed witch did encourage naive tourists to expose themselves to Wuhan Flu."

And some of those tourists may well be dead now. She has blood on her hands.

Or she played the Xi gambit to crash the Trump economy. Desperate Democratics. Like cornered honey badgers.

America would be better off, but her Chinese Commie colleagues would sure miss her.

There are a number of videos online that have Pelosi’s Chinatown nonsense archived. Paul Joseph Watson posted a video titled “Social Distancing” on YouTube two weeks ago, showing numerous idiot politicians placing political correctness over safety and common sense - and yes, Nancy was his first such example.
