Pelosi accuses some protesters demanding Gaza cease-fire of having ties to Russia

So people are exercising the 1st Amendment right in a way that she doesn't like and now she wants the FBI to investigate them. All these politicians are the same. Democrats and Republicans.

Polls say something like 60% of all voters support a ceasefire, so I'm sure this ones gonna go down real well with the electorate, Nance.
I'm not sure why you or anyone else would think the ceasefire support and the chance of Russian meddling are mutually exclusive, Russia, China, Qatar, Iran, Turkey, The Saudis, and Israel could all be meddling, it definitely warrants looking into, especially with the tension occurring at the protests, most of them have a history of inflaming both sides, especially Russia.
It's not mutually exclusive, but Russia, if anything, wants this war to continue as long as possible and the majority opinion (which would, without influence, presumably prevail) is for a ceasefire. If anything, the pro-Israel side would be the one they'd be more active in propping up.
Meanwhile, Pelosi seems to be very selectively trotting out the specter of Russian influence only for the position on which she's out of step with the populace while ignoring literally every other wedge issue. She's not calling for pro-Israel voices to be investigated. She's not calling for pro-choice voices to be investigated. She only thinks an investigation is needed when her centrist political bloc is being criticized, not simply because there's a divisive issue.
last time i checked, Joe Biden is not the President of Israel, nor does he direct the IDF.. and you may want to tell the Iranians first, they're already killing Americans..
