Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said on Sunday that American protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza are spreading the “message” of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“For them to call for a ceasefire is Mr. Putin’s message, Mr. Putin’s message. Make no mistake, this is directly connected to what he would like to see. Same thing with Ukraine. It’s about Putin’s message,” Pelosi said on CNN’s State of the Union.
She also made the claim that the demonstrations were linked to Russia and called for the FBI to investigate. “Some of these protesters are spontaneous and organic and sincere. Some, I think, are connected to Russia. And I say that having looked at this for a long time now, as you know,” she said.
When asked if she thought the protesters were Russian plants, Pelosi said, “I don’t think they’re plants. I think some financing should be investigated. And I want to ask the FBI to investigate that.”
President Biden’s recent speeches and campaign events have been disrupted by demonstrators calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, with some calling him “genocide Joe” for supporting the Israeli massacre, which has killed over 26,000 Palestinians, including over 10,000 children.
A recent poll from YouGov/The Economist found half of the people who voted for President Biden in 2020 believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The pressure on Biden and Democrats will likely continue to grow as the massacre continues.
What she’s saying is that Putin is a more decent human being than genocide Joe.
Way to go, you painfully-stretched -faced -bourbon -animated -soulless -corpse.
Yeah, she had to have just had another round of Botox.
Or as I like to call her, C…..
So Pelosi, who as a Member of Congress, is condoning the Genocide of Palestinians and doesn’t like that Putin, the Ruler of Russia wants a Ceasefire?
In a nutshell.
As usual, she is full of more sh*t than a Christmas goose. Why or why can’t she just go the route of Feinstein, et al. Just go away……………..
She’s made enough money on insider trading and other corrupt ways. You’d think these corrupt scum would want to go enjoy their private jets and mansions.
Someone take the vodka bottle away from this witch!
I’m guessing bourbon. 😉
When she isnt brewing,her stomach ferments the challah bread for her .
Good grief! Putin has been rather quiet about Gaza, allowing the collective West to do itself harm without any outside interference.
Exactly. This is totally making sh!t up.
Making sh!t up has been the norm in American foreign policy since the end of WWII…
This is a red herring and the means to silence dissident voice.
Putin has good reason to not talk much about Gaza. He doesn’t want people noticing that he’s Netanyahu’s brother from another mother.
If anyone thinks there is some excuse or forgiveness for this genocide is in for a searing surprise if the fix is really in to let the criminals responsible walk free.
Aha! This is you wearing your Modful hat, yes? and responding to a factual and logical remark with other facts and reasoned argument. Never would you stoop to simple abuse . . . hmm, a moment while I clean my glasses, they seem to have sh!t smeared all over them . . . Putin’s not the statesman who calls for an immediate cease fire and a two state solution within the 1967 borders. No, couldn’t be him could it.
“This is you wearing your Modful hat, yes?”
No. My moderation duties consist of getting rid of comments (and, if necessary, commenters) who violate the site’s guidelines.
When I’m just commenting, I’m commenting, not moderating.
Ok, a different approach: for someone who writes articles for this site and helps to moderate content in discussion threads, your comment sounds a lot like the language coming from neocon leaders in the U.S. who are blindly critical of Putin. In other words, you’re sounding a bit like Pelosi here, and readers here don’t appreciate that, regardless of which hat you’re currently wearing. His brother from another mother? Give me a break.
It’s not that you’re incorrect, necessarily. But say enough to clarify your point if there is one, and provide some sources to back it up, for goodness’ sake. Otherwise, it doesn’t sound well-informed, and it adds nothing to the dialogue around Israel/Gaza or Ukraine/Russa. At the very least, your comment is RussiaGate-esque.
If you think my comment sounds a lot like the language coming from neocon leaders in the US who are blindly critical of Putin, you might want to consult an audiologist and get fitted for a hearing aid.
I’m not “blindly” critical of Putin. I’m critical of Putin on EXACTLY the same terms I’m critical of those same neocon leaders, of Volodomyr Zelenskyy, of Benjamin Netanyahu, of Joe Biden, et al. He, and they, are all thugs calling the shots for murderous overgrown street gangs.

Oh, I thought he was related to Hitler.
Zelenskyy says wants Ukraine to become a ‘big Israel’
Zelenskyy stressed that his vision for Ukraine’s post-conflict future included having armed forces in “all institutions, supermarkets, cinemas, there will be people with weapons”….
Zelenskyy, who is Jewish, has on several occasions stressed the importance of maintaining close ties with Israel, which he hailed as a model for Ukraine.
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/4/5/zelenskyy-says-wants-ukraine-to-become-a-big-israel
This sounds more like a good reason to refute such policy to let half brother know how wrong and dangerous genocide always is for the perpetrators!!! Do you think this mass slaughter by the Jewish state could lay a future for anti-Zionism & antisemitism?
Whether Putin talked much or not about Gaza, he’s been telling the truth. Putin is not related to Netanyahu. Israel’s war and genocide there has got to stop and Israel should allow aid to get in.
Biden, Obama, W, Blair and Graham are each others brothers from another mother or father, Pelosi is a sister from another mother or father. They are all related to Netanyahu and each other one way or another and unrelated to Putin.
So now Ms. Nancy is going to “Russia Gate” people who have the decency to NOT want genocides on this planet? Pathetic! She sure was bothered when her husband Paul was attacked with a hammer in his house. How about those thousands of Palestinians being attacked in their homes? Hypocrites rules the USA!
Dear Ms. Pelosi:
You work for US and no one else. Your obligation, in your capacity is to commit this country and its people to Peace. You don’t do that and we will simply fire you.
She has been office since 1987, I think. So that is not going to happen.
Wait and SEE!!!
Genocide Joe is backed in his crimes by far too many Democrats. Meanwhile, they use misdirection by talking about the wrongs of others.
Genocide is unforgiveable. Pelosi’s defense of it is unforgiveable.
This is the same monster who helped stage January 6 and then had all those innocent “insurrectionists” thrown in jail for being attacked by DC police!
But this is lesser evil, Mark … you must support it.
or somesuch …
The Dems really need to get a new bit.
It didn’t take long for CAIR to weigh in:
US Muslim group condemns Pelosi for saying Gaza ceasefire protests have Russia link
The Dems can’t afford this. They may already have lost Michigan.
Good!!!
Well, yes, good, except . . . from an antiwar point of view, Trump is at least as bad on Israel-Palestine as Biden.
If only they could all lose.
I’m not voting for either.
Makes two of us.
You’d think it would make about 100 million of us.
AT LEAST!!!!!!! MAYBE 200 MILLION.
Trump will be worst.
Perhaps. But there’s no lesser-evil choice in this matchup.
They have been tarred, the feathers come later…
OOOOOOO. ARE THEY GONNA LOSE!
They can— And that’s when the people win.
Write in None of the Above for every federal and state position on the ballot. Start a new country and call the capitol Putinville.
Perhaps lost most of those with children on the planet.
Few are sick enough to vote for a Democrat.
Umm . . . maybe time for a reality check.
Okay, You are probably correct; Millions of Americans are sick enough to vote for Democrat war mongers who do many bold things for the environment and their voters,
Piece of pure shit .
Pure shit would be a compliment. Pile of runny bloody nasty tarry smelly shit would be more accurate.
UTILIZE PEACE NOW!!!
Time for beer and pizza and stand back and watch tho whole edifice of of Zio-Nazi hate crash and BURN… Even if the adults don’t see through the darkness, the young have already and will remember when killing children was in style with corrupt leaders. No one is going not buy this genocide project… There is nothing in it but greed and hate. What were they thinking. That people would embrace the slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent women and children……!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????
I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG I WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THIS DEVICE! UTILIZE PEACE NOW!!! DO NOT HESITATE!!!
If only these evil ghoals in power actually wanted peace. Instead, they want a comfortable life for themselves, at the expense of everyone else.
“Oh, thousands of people are being killed? Who cares, I just bought another vacation home.” Bastards
You have to wonder in what sort of bubble these people live and at what audience this is directed. Accusing people of conscience, calling for a cease fire to halt an ongoing genocide to be Russian agents, imagine the anti-Semitism of it all. And here I was almost being convinced I was a member of Hamas. But glad to find out I was a Russian agent after all. I guess I am being subliminally controlled by a ultrasecret Russian brainwave manipulation sattelite network that has to consist of some supershabby cobbled together scrap deviously flung into space, because anyone knows how technologically inferior those stupid, drunk all the time those Slavs are. If only they weren’t so corrupt and wouldn’t have sold the best parts on the black market it could have actually worked even better.
Or the other possibility could be the Democratic elite are panicking and start flinging the shit directly while they used to polish their turds first.
There is no polish to make the stench of rotting corpses of children smell good or acceptable. This is THE own goal of the millemnnium…………
She is demanding that Biden should silence those who criticise him or disagree with him the same things the USA has accused Putin of doing all the times. Welcome to tyranny US style.
I thought the go-to lines were “calls for a ceasefire in Gaza are antisemitic” and “calls for peace in Ukraine are pro-Putin.” She’s so decrepit she can’t even get her propaganda straight.
I’m still trying to figure out what Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Haley fundamentally differ.
Well, both of them definitely have a quarrel with the laws of nature and basic biology, but one is a mummy, and the other is a zombie. I haven’t yet decided which is which, but I’m sure that is the key to the answer there.
Oh, Genocide Nancy is definitely the mummy. They wrapped her up years ago.
In order to survive, US politics need Delusional Actors. So far, I thought only men such as Trump is practicing this, but now I know Nancy joined the club not to fall behind in men’s arena…!
I think Pelosi is delusional, but maybe not in the obvious way.
Mainstream politicians don’t go on national TV shows and say things like this because they believe them. They say things like this because they believe it will advance their political goals. Certainly, that’s why Nancy Pelosi says things in public. She has long been a master politician, one of the smartest around, trained and groomed by San Francisco’s Burton-Brown machine.
But if Nancy believes that accusing people who voted for Biden, and who are desperately needed to vote for him again, of pushing Russian propaganda will help get him reelected, she really is delusional. It’s bizarre.
I think it’s also that she’s doing what AIPAC wants.
Right. As I just said somewhere around here, the Dems are caught between their base and the Israel Lobby. And this time the base isn’t on board with Israel and the Lobby.
One more thing. Biden has been an ultraZionist his entire career. It’s not just the money.
It’s not just the money for any of them. Even more important than the money the Lobby provides to obedient candidates is the terror it wields.
The Israel Lobby can quickly and thoroughly ruin the career of virtually any politician in the US. That’s been clearly demonstrated any number of times and all the politicians know it.
He’s 80 years old ffs. It’s not like he has a long future. His past:
https://theintercept.com/2021/04/27/biden-israel-aipac/
His son has copied him .
His son has copied him .
The Israel lobby has hung itself on it’s own petard…!!!!!!!!
She’s fascist. It’s about furthering the criminalization of dissent. I keep hearing how Trump is one, but the Democrats have been actively chipping away at rights in the present. They are more slick at the approach than Trump. They all suck in the uniparty.
She’s a politician. A politician with a long history of playing the game successfully. Smart politicians don’t alienate voters they badly need, during a crucial election year.
The Dems are caught between their natural voting base and the Lobby. It’s going to be an ugly campaign year.
The propaganda doesn’t work as well when people interrupt campaign stops. The msm has been largely effective in making the news agenda about Israeli hostages, antisemitism, college student victims with a short afterthought of Palestinians. The ICJ story is already dead.
They’ve written off a lot of people, or believe they will get back in line with Trump fearmongering, abortion and drawing in never Trumper Republican neocons who love Biden’s foreign policy in spite of the opposition theater.
Democratic voters have been trained to hate Putin with 7 years of the Russiagate scam. Therefore, if Putin is said to advocate something, their Pavlovian response is to detest it.
She knows what she is doing and is evil.
Very well said, very spot on.
It also plays into “Russia and Iran caused all the problems in Gaza”, Israel is fighting a larger battle against evil or some shit like that. Just like Zelensky was savior of democracy across the globe, except he is an authoritarian.
So far, I thought only men such as Trump is practicing this
Seriously? I mean, no one despises that asshole more than me, but seriously???
These people are complete idiots. Beyond sick of US government. Biden has been a disaster.
Yes, Putin always calls for peace. Pelosi needs to retire, since she humiliates party now whenever she speaks.
i wonder how much $$ Ms. Pelosi has invested in the weapons industry.
wow i graduated high-school in the middle of nowhere AZ about half a century ago.
first thing i did was wake up in Los Angeles with a guitar in my hand. what.
i eventually looked around and realized that 3 out of 4 of my graduating class had all migrated to Tuscon, AZ where every single one of them worked for Raytheon inc. making some kind of guided missiles or some kind of other pieces of defense.
wow every one of us children learned how to read, learned us some math, maybe a little bit of science and then 20 years later making some kind of explosive timer device or something. OMG did the timer device that it took my friends all of half an hour to assemble blow up an entire school/ambulance/”terrorist headquarters” on the other side of the world?? maybe.
what i do know is that i have spent my entire adult life teaching people how to play music, not assembling explosive missiles in the AZ desert. wow the poor guys probably have no idea what they are building.
oh who am i kidding, every single one of my old friends = “oh yeah gonna kill us some evil Saddam MFs tell you what!”
damnit i am proud of myself teaching people how to play music.
today i played an electric piano and an electric guitar at the same time =
my wife heard it and my granddaughter heard it and my student heard it and when i looked up and realized that everybody was watching me i suddenly felt like Elvis or Liberace or Eddie VanHalen or some other musical genius dimwit.
what.
what.
I wish more people made music or followed their passions, instead of selling out to make death machines or become cogs in the machine so they can live a comfortable life.
thank you for saying that
Did they glue her eyes open?
What a senile old moron.
She should stick to something she’s good at. Like insider trading https://nypost.com/2024/01/07/opinion/nancy-pelosis-huge-portfolio-gains-are-an-obscene-case-for-banning-trading-in-congress/
Blow it out of your ASS!
AND WHAT AN ASS SHE IS BEING ON THIS GENOCIDE! THE EVIL PUTIN IS FOR A CEASE FIRE TO STOP THE WANTON SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENT WOMEN & CHILDREN OF GAZA.. WAS SHE DRUNK.???? ??????????…… WTF…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!
I would be moer interested if the FBI investigated Pelosis finances , how she be came so rich .
What an evil lying witch. Why doesn’t she just go away? Didn’t she make enough on illegal insider trading? She is one of the richest people in government. Evil evil woman . Always blaming Russia, as if anyone is fooled by her bullcrap.
Democrats do not care if genocide Joe wins the election, they have no patriotism, honor, pride, intelligence or morals. International resource theft and insider trading is the name of the game.
Ooo. This makes me so angry.
WHAT A POS that haig has turned out to be. And SO Stupid. Putin should be PROUD to BE in favor of being for a cease fire that SAVES THE LIVES OF THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT WOMEN & CHILDREN IN THE GUN & BOMB SIGHTS OF NETANYAHU’s INSANE BLATANT IN THE FACE OF THE WHOLE WORLD GENOCIDE. I’TS SO VERY DERANGED THAT IT TARS EVERYONE ASSOCIATED WITH HIM AND HIS GENOCIDE & LAND THEFT PROJECT. IT’S NOT JUST AN HARD SELL TO ALL BUT THE NMOST HARTLESS AND CFORRUPT< IT'S AN IMPOSSIBLE SALE. It's Death sentence for ZIONISM… Which is worse antisemitism or genocide of innocent women and children.. THAT IS THE QUESTION THIS MASS EXTERMINATION OF THE PEOPLE OF GAZA BEGS… 5000 OR MORE DEAD CHILDREN!!!!!
MANY BLOWN TO BITS BY BIDEN'S 1000 lb & 5000 lb BOMBS HE GIFTED TO ISRAEL
Right on!
What a maroon! If Putin called for eating a balanced diet, would Pelosi scorn anyone else doing so as “spreading Putin’s message”?
One good thing about this, though, maybe one or two will awaken to the fraud perpetrated on them for a few years.
Shut up you senile bitch.
Make my day! ;-]
“For them to call for a ceasefire is Mr. Putin’s message, Mr. Putin’s message…”
If that actually is President Putin’s message – what an excellent message.
If calling for free speech and opposing genocide are “Putin’s message,” then both the protestors and Putin are on the right side of history.
IMPEACH THE LYING WITCH…!!!!!!!!!!
Is she visiting the resettlement of Gaza conference? Was she dancing with the ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich at the conference?
Was she paid by AIPAC for the junket and the dancing or just to prattle on TV ?
She still may show up in her diapers made of Israeli flag and in a cane.
The blood thirsty dunces are still dancing –https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israeli-ministers-attend-return-gaza-conference-speak-support-resettling-gaza
“Some of these protesters are spontaneous and organic and sincere.”
This is the quiet part out loud. Basically saying these protests are real and not fabricated by the FBI.
Is she a top receiver thru the years of Israel’s slush fund for American politicians who prove the adages of “Follow the Money!” and “War is a Racket”.
Truman: “Show me a rich politician and I will show you a crook”
It is amazing that every woman of importance in American politics from Condoleezza Rice to Samantha Powers, regardless of party, is a warmongering Amazon.
Thank goodness for the rare exceptions like Barbara Lee.
Pelosi is an old doddering shrew. What has this fiend ever done for the American people, or the country as a whole?? Nothing..she got rich by bending the rules, and supports every war criminal action the government pushes.
Oh don’t forget what the old bag said a year or so ago = “Everything I do is for the Children.”
