    I used to think she was an idiot for that, another user on Lemmy challenged me and I looked into the comment further.

    The protestors she told to go back to China were members of Code Pink.

    Code Pink used to be a legitimate feminist anti-war protest group, but after the co-founder married Neville Roy Singham in 2017, a Maoist who has supported pro-China groups across the world with funding ties to the CCP and now accounts for 25% of the groups funding, the group has suddenly removed all historical complaints against China and stopped saying anything critical of China.

    tl;dr: This group is openly an verifiably funded by China, and repeats Chinese talking points.

    In closing, fuck Nancy Pelosi and her governments support for funding Israel, but she was right on this single issue.

      Booohooo some rich person turns out not be aligned with western hegemony. Also the group isn’t funded by China isn’t funded by Roy Singham, who happens to align himself with Chinese interests. I bet you had no issues with Soros and the NED funding protests in Hong Kong though, that’s totally cool and based right?

        I said that.

        Roy Singham is funded by China, and he uses that funding to fund pro-China propaganda groups across the world.

        The rules of this community prevent me from saying what else I want to say about tankies, so I’ll leave this conversation here as I’ve been deleted too many times before.

          I don’t think Singham, who made nearly a billion dollars selling his company, needs any money from China.

          The guy is pretty based though, thanks for proving that point.

              I think a nearly billionaire who stopped making money and is now blowing all of his money financing incredibly based people, is in fact about as based as a near billionaire can be. Cause one day, and at this rate probably not that long into the future, he will not be any anymore.
