Multiple lawmakers made allegations Thursday that Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, ordered Capitol Police officers to arrest Capitol Police staff and visitors who did not comply with her mandate to wear masks.
Pelosi gives lawmakers a pass, but tells the police to report members to SAA for not complying.
“I cannot comply with this tyrannical order,” Rep. Cammack said. “This is the people’s house, not Nancy Pelosi’s house.”
In today’s edition of Pelosi’s abuse of power, Capitol Police have been directed to arrest staff and visitors to comply with her mask mandate for vaccinated individuals.

For Members, they advise not arresting but “reporting Members to SAA for their failure to comply.”

“This is such an overstep of Speaker Pelosi’s authority to basically make our Capitol Police arrest staff members and report on members [of Congress],” Cammack said to Fox News on Thursday. “It’s absolutely unconscionable that this is where we’re at.”
As of now, it is unclear if Pelosi actually made the order but lawmakers are asserting she did.
