Nancy Pelosi was met in England by protestors ordering her to “Go back to Epstein Island” and yelling to her that “Trump won”, according to a report by The Western Journal.
“The whole world knows that Donald Trump won the 2020 election, Nancy!” said a member of the crowd.
“Shame on you!” heckled another.
“You’re not welcome here! Go home!” insisted others.
“Get back to Epstein’s island! Get back to Jeffrey Epstein’s pedo island, Nancy!” ordered some the protestors that received the Speaker of the House, according to reports.
Pelosi, who has not been linked to flights to Epstein’s island, was overseas to meet with parliament leadership. In an interview, she criticized former President Trump, his followers, Republicans, and dismissed genocide in order to promote a focus on climate change.
Pelosi said that Trump had created a “cult” and “hijacked” the Republican Party during a public conversation at the Cambridge Union Society at Cambridge University.
Pelosi told the group; “I say to my Republican friends — and I do have some — take back your party.”
Part of the conversation was posted to Twitter.

When asked about the Chinese government being accused of using genocide to control the Uighur population as a method to combat climate change, Pelosi did not address the brutality and focused solely on the climate.
“Having said all of that …we have to work together on climate. Climate is an overriding issue and China is the leading emitter in the world, and the U.S., too, and developed world, too, but we must work together. So we can have a level of communication, whether it’s COVID, whether it’s terrorism, or whether it’s climate,” Pelosi told the interviewer.

Pelosi continued with the promotion of Joe Biden’s foreign policy during the interview, despite recent problems stemming from a U.S. drone attack that killed 10 civilians, including 7 children, and a fallout with France over a submarine deal with Australia.
The Speaker said that Biden was “perfect” and is confident that the nation’s top Democrat “knows his foreign policy”.
