Because they don't mention the party affiliation you can bet he's a dimocrat. An aide in the House of Representatives was arrested Thursday morning for allegedly carrying a gun inside of Congress. The individual has been detained, and Capitol Police stated that there is no threat. "This morning at approximately 7:40 a.m., our officers in the Longworth Building spotted the image of a handgun in a bag on the x-ray screen," said the Capitol Police in a statement. "The man was tracked down four minutes later and arrested." The alleged owner of the bag and firearm was identified as Jeffrey Allbrooks, who works with the House Chief Administrative Office. Allbrooks told Capitol Police he forgot the firearm was in there. Allbrooks is being charged with carrying a pistol without a license. U.S. Capitol Police sent out an email Thursday morning stating that there was a "security threat" inside of Longworth, asking staff to take necessary precautions.

“...Jeffrey Allbrooks, who works with the House Chief Administrative Office...”

The chance that Pelosi hires Republicans to work in the House Chief Admin Office is pretty much nil.

He told me that he put his bag and luggage on the conveyor belt during the security check, and they pulled him aside once they saw the gun.

Almost everyone who work for the Feds is a Dem so it’s pretty much a given. Even if they have an R by their name.

Well, he probably had a business card with the mayor’s note saying, “Please extend every courtesy to the bearer.” Thus endeth the lesson.
