Sanders, Warren decline to comment on Pelosi’s Taiwan trip as Senate colleagues praise speaker’s move

Progressive Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., both declined to comment on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s, D-Calif., trip to Taiwan amid increased tensions between the U.S. and China.

Fox News Digital asked both Sanders and Warren in the Senate-side basement of the U.S. Capitol if they had any thoughts on Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan.

"No," Warren said before hopping in an elevator. Sanders silently waved off Fox News Digital from the inside of an elevator when asked.

Sanders and Warren’s silence on the speaker’s trip is in stark contrast to several of their Senate colleagues from both sides of the aisle.

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., told Fox News Digital that he thinks Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan is "great" and noted that many senators have "been to Taiwan and they’re peace-loving."
