Pelosi protester faces felony charges over Gaza cease-fire demonstration
An activist affiliated with the anti-war group Code Pink is facing felony charges for causing damage around Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosis San Francisco residence during a Feb. 11 demonstration.
snip============================
Last month, Code Pink circulated a video showing Pelosi telling a Code Pink protester, Go back to China, where your headquarters is.
Pelosi was referring to a New York Times investigation that revealed extensive ties between Code Pinks co-founder, Jodie Evans, and groups promoting the agenda of the Chinese Communist Party.
That exchange took place on Oct. 29, coinciding with the one-year anniversary of the attack on Pelosis husband, Paul Pelosi, which left him hospitalized with severe injuries. The attacker, David DePape, told investigators he sought to hold Nancy Pelosi hostage.

According to a Code Pink blog post, the purpose of the October 29 protest was to "briefly hold Pelosi hostage."
A Code Pink spokesperson called the timing of the action to hold Speaker Emerita Pelosi hostage -- the one year anniversary of the hammer assault on Paul Pelosi by an assailant seeking to hold Nancy Pelosi hostage -- was an "unfortunate coincidence".

Nonsense. That's how it grows. Once a false idea takes root, misinformation spreads like weed-seeds in the wind.

Perhaps those who just want to go to class and get an education should take their tuition dollars somewhere else.
