Pelosi CANCELS Capitol dinner after Chelsea Clinton leads backlash
Daily Mail ^ | 12/14/2020 | Harriet Alexander

Nancy Pelosi has called off a dinner for new Democratic members of Congress after pictures of the event went viral and sparked anger that political leaders were openly flouting COVID restrictions.(snip)

On Friday Leigh Ann Caldwell, NBC News correspondent, reported that Democratic and Republican leaders in the House were holding dinners for new members, and posted a photo of a lavish dining room being prepared in the Capitol.(snip)

Yet the planned dinner angered many prominent Democrat supporters, upset that their message of respecting CDC guidelines - unlike many Republicans - was being undermined.

Chelsea Clinton tweeted: 'Please cancel these in-person dinners, @SpeakerPelosi & @kevinomccarthy to keep everyone safe from #covid19 - yourselves, your new members, servers, the Capitol police and all of their families and contacts. And, to show public health leadership.'

'Imagine telling families not to hold Thanksgiving (we shouldn't) and then doing this. Come. On,' said Nikole Hannah Jones, a New York Times Magazine reporter.

MSNBC anchor Chris Hayes tweeted: 'Cancel your precious dinner, you maniacs. my god.'

It’s pretty traditional that the aristocracy gets its own set of rules.

A Clinton calling out politicians for hypocrisy? This must be one of the signs of the End Times.

Obama buys beachfront property, unconcerned about global warming; Peloso holds dinners for incoming Democrat Congressmen, ignoring dangers of Covid-19. In both examples, “hypocrisy” reveals the truth that we are being lied to by people in the know.

What can you expect from a mealy mouthed news anchor that blatantly takes the Lord's Name in vain.

I understand that the Daily Mail is based out of London, England and is ahead of CST, but two days ahead?

I understand if Nancy gets pushed around by AOC? But Chelsea Clinton? She’s a lightweight.
