Is that Nancy Pelosi wearing a tinfoil hat and waiting for a spaceship
to come scoop her up? 

Yes, the former Speaker of the House is now the Speaker of Conspiracy
Theories. 

The California Democrat went on CNN this week to give a winding
explanation for the rampant, hate-spewing, anti-Israel protests
gridlocking American cities since Hamas terrorists’ unprovoked Oct. 7
attack that killed 1,200. 

No-Evidence Nancy claims the stateside demonstrations are the result of
— what else? — Russian interference. 

She is definitely, kinda, mostly, sort of, pretty sure of this. 

“For [protestors] to call for a cease-fire is Mr. Putin’s message,”
pivoting Pelosi told Dana Bash on “State of the Union,” in the shaky
whisper of a disturbed person rambling to an uncomfortable stranger on a
park bench. 

“Make no mistake, this is directly connected to what he would like to
see. Same thing with Ukraine. It’s about Putin’s message. I think some
of these protesters are spontaneous and organic and sincere. Some, I
think, are connected to Russia.” 

The Speaker of the Hearsay added, without providing any pesky proof,
that “some financing should be investigated. And I want to ask the FBI
to investigate that.” 

Get out your magnifying glass, Nancy Drew.

To the congresswoman’s credit, she strongly believes Israel must wipe
out Hamas. And, true, Moscow’s envoy to the United Nations has
increasingly taken anti-Israel positions. The Kremlin has meddled in US
affairs before. 

But this is her answer when Bash rightly asked about the party’s
concerns over “anger in some corners of the progressive movement”
pointed at President Biden and his handling of the Israel-Hamas war as
he approaches reelection with dismal approval numbers? 

It’s Russia’s fault? 

Hilarious.

That out-of-touch response is the equivalent of Kyle’s mom shouting
“Blame Canada!” in the “South Park” movie, except Mrs. Broflovski made a
far better case for her argument. 

Yeah, Nancy, the issue driving national protests and discontent with the
president couldn’t possibly be rising antisemitism among young Democrats
that began long before Oct. 7 and has festered for years on college
campuses and social media. 

Did Putin slide into the DMs of university presidents Claudine Gay,
Elizabeth Magill and Sally Kornbluth to demand they say at a
congressional hearing that calls for the genocide of Jews on campuses do
not necessarily amount to hate speech? 

I think nyet.

Remember that, well before the war began, the US saw its highest-ever
number of antisemitic incidents in 2022, according to the
Anti-Defamation League. 

Last winter in Manhattan, neo-Nazis protested the Broadway musical
“Parade” about a lynched Jewish man. 

Then, this past October in New York City — as blue an enclave as it gets
— anti-Jewish hate crimes jumped 214% in the wake of the war, according
to the NYPD. 

And alarmingly, a December poll from The Economist/YouGov — not Pravda,
Nancy! — found that 1 in 5 Americans aged 18-29 believe the Holocaust is
a myth. 

But why get to the root causes of bigotry in the Democratic Party, such
as hate-mongering professors, and actually solve a pressing problem when
we can just start another Russia inquiry instead? 

Pelosi, in offering zilch to back up her claims, is actually beginning
to resemble some of the GOP politicians across the aisle she abhors who
rail non-stop against China’s influence on TikTok and maintain the
disproven notion that the 2020 election was stolen. 

There is no difference in what she’s doing.

Except it backfired.

Rather than firming up the Democratic base, her farfetched “Russia,
Russia, Russia” ploy has only irked the youth-filled Palestinian
advocacy groups who don’t want their offensive rage credited to Red
Square. 

Perhaps, Nancy, you shouldn’t spout off unproven accusations on national
TV. Perhaps try behaving like an elected official and not someone who
lives off cans of Chef Boyardee in a bunker in Montana.
