McMaster, a woman from the pro-China leftist group held up a sign stating, “China is not our enemy,” and began shouting.A short time later a man, also from Code Pink, held up a sign and began shouting at the committee members. He too was escorted out.
Code Pink describes itself as a “feminist grassroots organization working to … end U.S. warfare and imperialism.” Michael Rubin, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, has said Code Pink has amplified Chinese propaganda regarding repression of Muslim Uyghurs in western China. “The CCP has found friends on Wall Street, in Fortune 500 C-suites, and on K Street who are ready and willing to oppose efforts to push back,” Mr. Gallagher said. “This strategy has worked well in the past, and the CCP is confident it will work again. Our task is to ensure that it does not.”
