During an event in Cambridge, England on Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that despite Communist China’s long list of human rights abuses, including the ongoing genocide of the country’s Uyghur population, the United States must partner with them to fight so-called “climate change.”

“With their military aggression in the South China Sea, with their continuation of genocide with the Uyghurs in Xinjiang province, with their violation of the cultural… religious priority of Tibet, with their suppression of democracy in Hong Kong and other parts of China as well – they’re just getting worse in terms of suppression and freedom of speech…” Pelosi conceded.

“Having said all of that… we have to work together on climate. Climate is an overriding issue and China is a leading emitter in the world – U.S. too, developed world too – but we must work together. We have to have a level of communication – whether it’s COVID, whether it’s terrorism or whether it’s climate,” she added.

So much for the left as the purported champions of human rights around the world. Genocide is acceptable to the Democrats as long as you are focused on furthering the Great Socialist Reset.
