Pelosi Faces Backlash for Linking Pro-Palestinian Protests to Russia

Former House speaker Nancy Pelosi is facing criticism after suggesting that some pro-Palestinian protesters in the US are "connected to Russia," without providing evidence. Her comments have been described as "delusional" and "authoritarian" by critics, who argue that she should respect the will of the American people calling for an end to the conflict in Gaza. Pelosi's spokesperson defended her remarks, citing concerns about foreign adversaries meddling in American politics. The protests for a ceasefire in Gaza have been organized by various activist groups, while the majority of the US public supports a ceasefire, despite Washington's veto of UN resolutions on the matter.
