Republicans Demand Pelosi be Fined for Ignoring Her Own Metal Detector Rule After Fining 2 Conservatives $5,000 Each

Nancy Pelosi loves to hold everyone else to standards that she refuses to hold herself to.

After two Republican congressmen defied her new metal detectors, Pelosi fined them both $5,000 each.

Republicans are now calling on Pelosi to be fined, after she broke her own rules and bypassed the metal detectors.

GOP members of the House Administration Committe made the demand on Friday night.

They claim that Pelosi was seen violating the rule on Thursday morning, and demand that she faces the same fine.

The Blaze has more on Pelosi's new "Rules for thee but not for me" hypocritical policy:

Two Republican members of Congress have been hit with $5,000 fines for circumventing the metal detectors leading into the House chambers under new rules passed this week in the Democrat-controlled body.

But GOP members say Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was seen skirting security, too, and deserves the same fine.

What are the details?
CNN reported Friday that "GOP Reps. Andrew Clyde of Georgia and Louie Gohmert of Texas have both been fined $5,000 for how they went through the metal detectors" according to a senior Democratic aid, noting that "These fines are part of a new rule established this week."

Gohmert confirmed to news to Axios, telling the outlet, ""We'll be appealing because this is ridiculous. This isn't 'The Godfather' where you plant a gun in the toilet tank. There is no toilet tank in the bathroom."

Shortly after the news broke, the Republican office of the Committee on House Administration sent a letter to the House sergeant at arms, to inform him that on Thursday, "at approximately 9:59 am, multiple members observed the Speaker of the House entering the House Chamber without completing security screening."

The GOP committee's Twitter account sent out a message saying, "Speaker Pelosi broke her own rules this week by entering the House Chamber without going through security. We are demanding she face the same fines as every other member of Congress."

Other Republicans are calling out the blatant hypocrisy on Twitter:

More from the New York Post:

Hours after The Post revealed that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi docked $5,000 each from the pay of two GOP congressmen for flouting her new metal detectors, a group of Republican pols demanded she pay the same fine for the same offense.

GOP members of the Committee on House Administration made the tit-for-tat demand Friday night, claiming Pelosi had been seen on Thursday entering the House Chamber without going through the metal detectors she herself had ordered installed after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

“Yesterday at approximately 9:59 a.m. multiple members observed the Speaker of the House entering the House Chamber without completing security screening,” the members wrote to the House acting sergeant in arms.

“We are demanding she face the same fines as every other member of Congress,” the GOP members of the committee tweeted Friday night, along with a copy of the letter.

Nancy Pelosi is a habitual hypocrite, as evidence from her infamous salon visit.
