Pelosi Recalls Visit to Tiananmen Square: ‘We Were Chased by Police. It Was a Question of Who Could Run Faster’
CNS News ^ | June 5, 2020

“In 1991, I stood in Tiananmen Square, with a bipartisan group of Members of Congress, bipartisan, and we unfurled a flag reading, ‘To those who died for democracy,’” she said.

“We were chased by the police,” Pelosi said. “It was a question of who could run faster because they were after us with clubs and whatever else.

“They took some of the press film or whatever–film, I mean it's 31 years ago–away from them,” she said.

"...they were after us with clubs and whatever else."

Most likely clubs and ugly sticks. Looks like Pelosi took a pretty good beating with the latter.

It's impossible to run and hide from police anywhere in China, never mind in Beijing. If they wanted to catch her and disappear her, they easily could have.

I didn't know botox caused hallucinations.

Is this a scene from a SNL skit? That’s Dana Carvey, right?

Seems like a nice FOIA request for transportation records from congress would clearly establish where she was at the time. Though probably quicker would be just searching SFGate’s archive, as I’ve no doubt if she was chased by Chinese police in 1991, she would have recounted the harrowing affair to the local paper upon her return.

What is it about Democrats? Can it be that their life is so mundane, their successes so ephemeral, that they must rejoice in the telling of mendacious tales of wars they never fought?

Hey be charitable. She was hit in the face by sniper fire.

Thanks, I needed that laugh.

As if Pelosi and delegates in 1991
(1) did not have an escort/minders which allowed them to be chased by police with clubs;
(2) had the actual courage to unfurl said banner in Tiananmen Square.

Both points lead us to conclude Pelosi either has dementia/amnesia or she straight out lies (which is natural for her) to us.

Maybe they are like the Talosians as per Vina's comment: "When dreams become more important than reality...You just sit, living and reliving other lives left behind in the thought record."

Well she was there, but the protests and massacre occurred in 1989. So her showing up in 1991 was not a heroic endeavor, more like a photo op, which incidentally is what made her:

Nancy Pelosi in Tiananmen Square 1919 not 1989 as this video claims
