Michael McCaul (R-Texas.), the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, to join her trip but he could not make it due to a pre-arranged personal engagement.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the congressional delegation on her trip were all Democrat lawmakers including Reps. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.), Mark Takano (D-Calif.), Suzan DelBene (D- Wash.), Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.), and Andy Kim (D-N.J.).<\/p>\n<p>Even though he confirmed his support for Pelosi\u2019s trip to the democratically governed island, Kennedy called the visit \u201ca show\u201d that helped the House speaker to deflect from hot issues allegedly caused by Democrat policies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd the added benefit of all this is that we\u2019re not talking about inflation or crime or the open border or her husband\u2019s stock trades,\u201d Kennedy said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Kennedy, Pelosi made the legacy trip to get recognition even at the risk of escalating the tension between the United States and China.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis entire exercise began with Speaker Pelosi\u2019s ego. I think she thought up this trip as a way to say, well, look at me one more time,\u201d the Republican lawmaker said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, when you\u2019re talking about a nuclear war with China, you should take your ego out back and shoot it,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut that\u2019s not Speaker Pelosi\u2019s way.
