Pelosi should have visited Taiwan years ago: Foreign policy expert

The Heritage Foundation's James Carafano reacted to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi traveling to South Korea after departing Taiwan amid heightened tensions with China.

Heritage Foundation foreign policy and national security expert James Carafano told "America Reports" on Wednesday that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi should have visited Taiwan years ago.

JAMES CARAFANO: It's totally in keeping with the one time Gingrich went there. I think there is a sin that why hasn't Pelosi done this before? Why is she waiting until literally the end of her tenure when she's kind of almost a lame duck, when she has personal issues with finances and her husband and everything else to do this thing when she should have done it years ago?

And they were super aggressive all over the world, but they got hammered over COVID.
