Do not risk incurring the anger of the Chinese government because they are ruthless. I know there is a temptation on the part of some to speak out while they are there. I respect that, but I also worry about what the Chinese government might do to their reputations, to their families,\u201d Pelosi said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t like this at all. I don\u2019t like that at all,\u201d Navarro said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDiplomats are protesting by skipping the games altogether, but she\u2019s telling them to not \u2014 don\u2019t start up,\u201d Behar responded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s so un-American, you know? It\u2019s so \u2014 what China has done to the Uyghurs is something that should be protested, and if there is any athlete who wants to have the courage to do that, and I understand this is about athleticism, but it\u2019s also a huge worldwide platform,\u201d Navarro said.<\/p>\n<p>Navarro \u2014 whose family fled an oppressive government in Nicaragua \u2014 said that the real problem was the fact that the International Olympic Committee was ignoring human rights abuses when considering host countries. \u201cIf we know that China has committed genocide and has imprisoned over 1 million Uyghurs, why are they being allowed to host an Olympic Games, which is a huge honor for any country?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI actually can see both sides, because I think the speaker is trying to make sure that the athletes don\u2019t step in it,\u201d guests co-host \u2014 and longtime veteran of the show \u2014 Star Jones added.&nbsp;\u201cAnd that they\u2019re safe, you know, we think about the allegations of human rights violations all the time, and we want our athletes to be able to go, compete, get home safely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI understand what the Speaker is trying to say. But of course, when you are given a platform like you have right here, you want to speak out, but with no diplomats there, our athletes wouldn\u2019t even have anybody to advocate for them,\u201d Jones continued, adding that she felt like Pelosi was just trying to make sure none of the athletes put their personal safety at risk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s being maternal, I think. You know, Nancy is Momala. She\u2019s always like \u2014 I think about the children. It\u2019s for the children. She cares about the kids. That\u2019s her,\u201d Behar insisted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou saw those two athletes with their hands up in the air \u2014 Jesse Owens, and it\u2019s one of the most inspirational images in history,\u201d Navarro continued.&nbsp;\u201cWe do have diplomatic \u2014 we have a full embassy. What we don\u2019t have are people like the first lady or the president or diplomats from America. We\u2019re not sending dignitaries from America. So we have \u2014 they better not imprison one of our athletes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t even want our athletes to be put in that trick bag,\u201d Jones said, noting that Olympians had been <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/you-cannot-normalize-what-theyre-doing-in-china-al-sharpton-hits-back-at-pelosi-over-olympics-warning\/\">warned<\/a> ahead of time to leave their personal cellphones at home and use disposable phones instead.<\/p>\n<p>China\u2019s Olympic organizing committee also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/olympic-athletes-warned-against-mentioning-chinas-human-rights-violations\">issued warnings<\/a> to athletes who might be tempted to speak out about political issues, saying, \u201cAny expression that is in line with the Olympic spirit I\u2019m sure will be protected. Any behavior or speech that is against the Olympic spirit, especially against the Chinese laws and regulations, are also subject to certain punishment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
