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.”

Well, it's not like it's on video from February 24, 2020...
Oh, wait - it is.
tree. rope. jernalist. some assembly required
Yeah, they're playing the race card on Twitter.
I just tell them that "Chinese" isn't a race, and that China is a huge collection of diverse ethnic groups.
And that they're ignorant and racist for bringing it up.
"China Mike" Bloomberg.
This footage was shown, at the time, on all local network news channels in the Bay Area. That means TONS of people in the area saw it for themselves.
Should be interesting how this attempt to BS goes over.
That would seem to confirm what Trump said, wouldn't it?
Yep!!!
Top of the Youtube search in her own words... https://youtu.be/eFCzoXhNM6c
Most amusing Nancy. Please correct Free Republic for explanation.
Chinatown should be referred to as “Coronatown”.
Great job!

You can still get takeout from Sam Wo’s.
I saw Pelosi as she made her comments on TV, and I believe that POTUS was very ACCURATE in his characterization of what she said.
Maybe all the booze in her veins repels the China Virus.
If no, she can fall back on the six day Trump Pills regime
The marxist’s were eager to show off their wokeness
Going to Chinese establishments, hugging Asian strangers.
They prolly now have the China flu, which presented in a mild form
“Precautions have been taken by our city.”
BTW does anyone know what precautions they took? Or, is that just one of many throw away lines (chronic lies of omission or flat out lies) from another lying leftist?
Coronatown in the city of Poo.
