House Republicans are demanding Nancy Pelosi be given a taste of her own medicine and be fined $5,000 after she was allegedly seen breaking her own security rules at the Capitol.
The House Speaker is accused of ignoring the metal detectors she had installed outside the House Chamber in the wake of the January 6 riots, days after she fined two lawmakers for committing the same offense.
In a letter written to acting Sergeant at Arms Timothy Blodgett Friday, GOP members of the Committee on House Administration claimed Pelosi was seen entering the House Chamber Thursday morning ‘without completing security screening.’
‘What was observed was a clear violation of House Resolution 73 and you are required by House Rules to impose this fine,’ they wrote, referring to the new House security rules.
‘We are demanding she face the same fines as every other member of Congress,’ they said in a tweet of the letter.
