Controversial for sure, we are paying for her to travel to set up her next chip industry insider trading deal.

[michaelcarson]

It’s funny, she can find Taiwan. But she can’t find our southern border!

[badblood]

good job democrats you have caused america so much bs LETS GO BRANDON

[eddie]

Maybe China can take care of one of America’s problems for us!🤷🏻‍♂️

[houstoner]

Who is China to tell the world where they can and can't go?

[debbie]

All the good domestic insider trading schemes must have dried up.

[creekhunter]

Now they can close their border and keep her…

[skippy]

Just stay there!

It's not controversial. It's reckless and intentionally provocative. We are watching those in power intentionally destroy us from within.

Would be great if they put her in jail. What is she doing there antway. Babe isn't an ambassador or foreign liason. Why are taxpayers paying for this? For someone pushing green down our throats why travel in a jet that we pay for and security? So fed up with this pompous fool.

[brianpdaniels]

Of a course she did it to drown the press coverage of her husband's DUI hearing.

Love how so many here are pretending this witch isnt evil or something like that..

[taber]

I'm not against her there, I'm against her being there for no reason. She knew the risk an decided to go for publicity. Both China and Taiwan are huge trade allies, we shouldn't be trying to muddy the water due to global politics

Pelosi is the best trader in all history. Must be nice to get that insider info

[Buttersausage]

Daily reminder that Taiwan is independent democratic sovereign nation

XI is so self conscious he banned Winnie the Pooh a fictional character 😂

[ExceptionalMussy]

Why is Nancy Pelosi of all people going to Taiwan ? Don’t we have international ambassadors whose sole
job is to deal with international relations ? I don’t think I’ve ever read that Nancy Pelosi is the American Ambassador to Taiwan. This should raise flags for anybody.

[tototita]

that is the most expense trip aver 100 of millions spent for her security and in USA peoples are starving and cant get medical help shame shame we pay taxes for this

[jackshannonmusic]

She made the trip to let them know, “I may not be Speaker much longer, but my husband and I will still be open for business!”
