The California Democrat is planning a trip to the self-governing island next month, a report in the Financial Times earlier this week claimed, drawing an angry response from Beijing.

Pelosi refused to confirm the trip during a weekly press conference Thursday, saying "I don't ever discuss my travel plans."

"You never even hear me say if I'm going to London, because it is a security issue," she said.

That would be like Hitler shooting down Mussolini’s plane. It won’t happen.

“Speaker of the House, second in line to the President, flying in a U.S. Air Force plane would be an act of war. She knows this, our military knows this and the Red Chinese know this as well. If Pelosi is trying to come up with an excuse not to visit the Republic of China she needs to come up with something “

Yes. It’s an absurd idea which she attributed to Biden.

I read where Jo Jo doesn’t want her to go over and start making retirement deals in Taiwan. I guess he wants to make sure fatass gets the message.

I wonder how old Jo Jo is doing today what with his battling cancer and the Wuhan.

Would probably be the only positive thing the Chinese have/will do for us in the last decade.

Funny.

Would that be an act of peace or an act of war?

A previously owned Hillary broom comes with a billowy huge pantsuit that could act as a parachute.

Pelosi has this unnatural fear but so does AOC who believes someone was going to get her on Jan.6 and wasn’t even at the Capitol that day. Nutty.

If Pelosi, or China Joe, were to go to Taiwan, the communist Chinese would provide her with an escort.

Seems she isn’t so loved worldwide...
Wonder if others see her as the face of corruption and deceit that she is. Or if they even care.
