Matt Taibi was on Bill Maher’s HBO show defending Pelosi saying what she did is cool and principled because China is a “human rights violator” and it’s “worth taking a stance sometimes.”
And it’s because of the “donors” with commercial interests in China that most politicians are reluctant to speak out.
Hero.
I hope the sanctions have at least some material consequence.

Yeah I know. I just don't think Taibbi knows who Parenti is.
Parenti really did not like post mao China and called it socialist in name only, basically a whole chapter in black shirts and reds ragging on post mao China and he also supported tibetan independence so it’s not a huge stretch to think Parenti would be posting things that would get put in the dunk tank if he didn’t have dementia and was on twitter :vivian-shrug:
