Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Saturday took part in a ceremony with Mexican officials and dignitaries on a bridge connecting the U.S. and Mexico.

Pelosi could be seen in footage of the moment sharing a hug with a Mexican official as part of the International Bridge Ceremony, which is hosted by the Washington’s Birthday Celebration Association of Laredo (WBCA), a Pelosi spokesperson confirmed to The Hill.

**SNIP**

As part of the bridge ceremony, officials and dignitaries from Mexico and the United States share “abrazos,” or hugs, to symbolize “the amity and understanding between two neighboring nation,” the website also states.

Pelosi and the rest of the Rats openly collide with a foreign nation to defy America’s laws, and we get a 2 year Deep State investigation into a Democrat-funded Fake Dossier. The world has truly gone mad.

DESPITE NUMEROUS REPORTS WRT Nuevo Laredo man firing shots at Laredo US Border Patrol agents --- smuggler tried to smuggle $2.2M in meth through Laredo international bridge.......House Speaker Nancy Pelosi took part in a ceremony with Mexican officials and dignitaries on the bridge connecting the US and Mexico......dignitaries from Mexico and the US share “abrazos,” or hugs, to symbolize “the amity and understanding between two neighboring nation.”

Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer continue to play politics with our safety and security. The savagery of these Democraps is defined by their obsession with and relentless pursuit of power....no matter the cost to Western civilization. Democraps, and their acolytes, are invaders, an invading army waging a vicious war on we, a peaceful people.

==============================================

EARLIER, PELOSI SUCKED-UP FOR VOTES, PLEDGING HER UNDYING LOYALTY TO MEXICO--
viciously demeaning American citizens and then-candidate Trump to Mexican officials

BACKSTORY In 2016, Pelosi brought a delegation of Congressional suck-ups to Mexico City to meet with Mexican dignitaries for votes. Pelosi told the Mexican president's entourage: “We come here as a bipartisan and large delegation to express our respect for the people of Mexico and the country of Mexico; to acknowledge our shared border and our shared values and to learn more about how we can work together for the bright future for not only our two countries but for our hemisphere.”

Pelosi later said the Congressional delegation had a busy time in Mexico City. “We heard a sermon on the importance of workers in Mexico, a view we share. We’ve met with members of the American Chamber of Commerce. We had a very beneficial meeting with Director General Zapata on the subject of the economy and on the subject of TPP (trade pact) especially.

"And then we had a glorious meeting, a really very thorough exchange of subjects and views – again about our shared values and our shared border – with the President [of Mexico]......with Members of the Federal Deputies – Mexican Federal Deputies – and Senators. And in the evening we had a dinner meeting with the Mexican Foreign Minister,” Pelosi said.

=============================================

PELOSI DEMEANS AMERICAN CITIZENS WHILE ON MEXICAN SOIL
PELOSI SLAMS DONALD TRUMP TO MEXICAN OFFICIALS
(BEFORE TRUMP GOT THE NOM AND GOT ELECTED BY 63 MILLION AMERICANS)

CIRCA 2016----Pelosi in Mexico telling Mexican officials Trump is speaking to an "insecure minority," who maybe lost their job and
think it was because of immigration, or trade. I think it's putting too much weight on all this. Trump only has one half of one half, 25%."

The 2016 Congressional delegation to Mexico also included Democrat Reps. Norma Torres, Lucille Roybal-Allard, Pete Aguilar and Linda Sanchez (Calif.); Beto O'Rourke and Henry Cuellar (Texas); Ruben Gallego (Ariz.); Michelle Lujan Grisham (N.M.); and Republicans Michael Fitzpatrick (Pa.) and Richard Hanna (N.Y.).

SCHADENFREUD Beto sucked-up bigtime for latino votes....but still lost his Texas race against Cruz.

The highest ranking official of the radical left openly works on behalf of foreign invaders.

This cannot end well.

Pres Trump's team was forced to block several moves by Pelosi and Democraps to put anti-wall moves in the emergency deal.
Power-crazed Democraps will do anything to prevent a wall; they need illegals for their very survival as a party.

MILLIONS of illegal aliens pouring into our country is NO emergency to them; it means more Democrap power over us.

"Pelosi and Schumer gave our caravan directions to electoral college states."
"We're already registered to vote Democrat."

It need not end well. The ending must be the total destruction of Pelosi et al, American enemies more dangerous than Russia or Iran

Co existence is not possible

Pelosi can’t fool me. She only went down there to watch the little Mexican kids “sparkle”. She loves the way they “sparkle”.

Mexico is not helping with the problem at our southern border. Mexico is the problem.
