GOP lawmaker defends Pelosi's potential Taiwan plans, says 'weak' Biden shouldn't interfere

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California is reportedly planning a trip to Taiwan which has incensed Chinese Communist Party Leader Xi Jinping this week.

Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital. 

"Any member of Congress should be able to visit Taiwan to show our commitment to that tiny island that's being pressured by the Chinese Communist Party – and particularly the Speaker of the House, no matter who the speaker is," he said.

"The fact that the president of the United States is trying to tell her or any other member to stand down when he's exhibiting so much weakness, as we saw from that phone call [with Chinese leader Xi Jinping] that I just got briefed on – I got the notes from that call where Biden talked about, hey, let's work together and our interests. And, you know, Xi responds, those who play with fire will perish by it."
