This week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi warned U.S. athletes in China for the Winter Olympics to keep their opinions to themselves when it comes to human rights and genocide:

Pelosi got some help explaining those comments on a Whoopi-less episode of “The View” today when Joy Behar said the House Speaker’s mother instincts made her say that:

👀The View's Joy Behar just excused Nancy Pelosi telling U.S. athletes not to protest during the #WinterOlympics:

Behar: "She’s being maternal, I think. Nancy is 'Mom-ala.' She always like 'I think about the children. It’s for the children.' She cares about the kids." pic.twitter.com/pLjl4w2QJm

Got that? The proud recipient of Planned Parenthood’s Margaret Sanger award a few years ago just cares so much about children, which is why she wants U.S. athletes not to mention human rights abuses in China.
