Speaker Pelosi has recently urged Americans who will be attending the Games not to speak out against Chinese atrocities, lest the Chinese government imprison or punish them. A member of the Chinese Olympic Committee has similarly warned foreign athletes that they could be prosecuted under Chinese law if they criticize the government.

When it became clear that the government could not protect the safety and privacy of our athletes, thanks to the Biden administration’s inaction and incompetence, the president should have announced a total and complete boycott of the games. He should then have rallied the rest of the world to follow America’s lead, as it so often has. Instead, Joe Biden folded.

In yet another example of weakness and ineptitude, President Biden has kowtowed to China and placed our athletes in danger. For the next two weeks, their safety, security, and privacy will be in the bloodstained hands of the CCP.
