“Please return to reason.” Lawmakers in Taiwan got into a fist fight and threw pig guts at each other over a soon-to-be enacted policy that would allow imports of U.S. pork and beef.

In this image made from video, lawmakers fight during a parliament session in Taipei, Taiwan, Friday, Nov. 27, 2020. Taiwan's lawmakers got into a fist fight and threw pig guts at each other Friday over a soon-to-be enacted policy that would allow imports of U.S. pork and beef. A blue banner at right reads: “Protest against ractopamine pork, We want a referendum.”

Premier Su Tseng-chang was due to give a regularly scheduled policy report to lawmakers on Friday morning about the pork policy when opposition party lawmakers from the Nationalist party, also known as the KMT, blocked his attempt to speak by dumping bags of pig organs. Legislators from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party attempted to stop them, resulting in chaos and an exchange of punches.President Tsai Ing-wen’s administration lifted a longstanding ban on imports of U.S.

wretchardthecat Seems normal

Looks like our Dummycrats:)

They don't want the pork.

Looks like someone got a payoff from the American pork industry. Corrupt capitalists believe that bribing politicians is just part of business. And corrupt politicians can't resist. Democracy doesn't work if elected politicians can be bribed by lobbyists and campaign donors.

Looks a lot like the RepublicanParty and how they react to anything other than their ideas.

Nobody wants our pork?

Nobody speak, nobody get choked

So when I say all politicians are terrible people, the statement reaches well beyond our borders alone...

Here comes COVID-20

THIS is where republicans and 🌹folks want to take the U.S. Senate. Every time something horrible happens, they’re on Twitter typing things like, “DO SOMETHING!” to the RNC or DNC...as if throwing punches and pig guts on the senate floor is really what’s needed to wake people up.

Stay classy kuomintang and king of the Taiwan asshat JohnnyChiang12

NO one should be eating anything that comes from the US - including Americans. The food is packed with 400x the chemicals. There’s a reason why UK & EU never allowed US meat in!

Exactly what the American congress needs.

Maybe I don't understand Taiwan, but I'm wondering how many of their legislators sit around with a bowl of pig guts when they are working.

The Taiwan government also forced all Taiwan media to call the COVID-19 as Wuhan Virus. The Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party also forcibly shut down the largest pro-opposition media CTI. Very authoritarian.

Under the opposition of most people Imported harmful food Close news media The loss of media freedom is the beginning of dictatorship

Imagine kicking about parliament in tracksuit bottoms & a t-shirt...

More reason on Mainland than in Taiwan? Like more reason in China than in DC? Communism vs Capitalism? Order vs Chaos? Pig guts flying? U.S style democracy in action in Taipe? Flying ballots in Trump country?

Pro-American lawmakers are defending their right to eat pigs containing clenbuterol

So basically WE shouldn’t eat US pork or beef?

Sure this isn't the WH as of 11/3?

Six degrees of Donald Trump

What a horrible Taiwan government to import pigs from USA contaminated with ractopamine. While the rich & powerful like President Tsai Ing-wen will choose not to eat, the poor Taiwanese have to damage their health! ShameonUSA ShameonTaiwan TsaiIngWen

And thus Covid20 was born.

Democracy and freedom throw pig offal?

Pig guts. Why didn’t I think of that?

Pig guts just hanging out ready to be thrown. It happens.

Huh. I kind of what that to happen here just to see the CNN chyron.

At least the US isn’t the only one with out-of-control politicians.

BRO! did u just whip swine innards at me bro? Its on! Compared to like turtle ghoulies stealing cash 24/7, im down. Our gov sucks.

Better stick to your traditional food. Tastes better and is healthier. Greets from Hamburg, germany ...

I nearly mistook the picture for the one below! Then I remember HK pro-Dems lawmakers prefer self-made stinky stuff instead of pug guts. Aren't they inventive? Sadly not in their work but only in political stunts.

Раді негайно потрібно переймати досвід Тайваню, у нас було все, але свинячими кишками ще не кидались. Відстаємо !!!

Offal scenes. 😱

Disgusting

They are so civilized compared to us here in the U.S.

I love Taiwanese politics, and for once their security isn't even on the radar compared to our own.

Do they really like eating dog meat THAT much? c’mon, man... 😂

oh my god😱😱😱

An offal scene.

Now that's what 'Leadership' looks like
