Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi engaged in a shouting match with Palestinian protesters outside her residence in San Francisco on Monday.
The incident occurred as the group protested on her driveway, prompting Pelosi to demand they leave the area immediately.
Her frustration reached a boiling point when Pelosi shouted a racial statement, “GET OUT OF MY WAY!… GO BACK TO CHINA WHERE YOUR HEADQUARTER IS!”

This public display of anger from Pelosi comes on the heels of her previous comments, where she voiced a conspiracy theory suggesting that the pro-Palestine protests were financially backed by Russia. Pelosi had called for an investigation to uncover the alleged Russian support.
“For them to call for a cease-fire is Mr. Putin’s message,” Pelosi said in an interview with CNN. “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. And I say that having looked at this for a long time now, as you know.”
“I don’t think they’re plants. I think some financing should be investigated. And I want to ask the FBI to investigate that.”
“We are deeply disturbed by Former House Speaker Pelosi’s comments,” CAIR’s national executive director Nihad Awad said in a statement. “Rep. Pelosi’s claim that some of the Americans protesting for a Gaza ceasefire are working with Vladmir Putin sounds delusional and her call for the FBI to investigate those protesters without any evidence is downright authoritarian.”
On Sunday, Pelosi was met with boos from fans upon her arrival at the stadium, the Daily Mail reported.
Accompanied by her husband, Paul Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi stepped out of a black SUV, ready to watch the highly anticipated game. A security guard attempted to keep the crowd in check, but the sounds of boos were clearly heard as the couple, both avid Ravens supporters, made their way into the venue.
