Pelosi said her support of President Joe Biden’s decision to refuse to send any official delegation to the games, which has been matched by some other countries, showed, “We cannot and will not be silent on human rights in China.”

She also said that the International Olympic Committee, “aided by corporate sponsors,” have turned “a blind eye” to China’s human rights record.

I'm not a fan Pelosi by any means, but on this particular issue I completely agree. Getting arrested and thrown in a Chinese prison isn't worth it. And the IOC turned a blind eye to China's human rights record because of just not corporate sponsors, but big money from the Chinese themselves.

This might be the first Olympics I won't watch, even Curling. **** China and the IOC.
