US Capitol Police officers will arrest visitors and staff members who refuse to comply with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s renewed COVID-19 mask mandate — heightening tensions with Republicans who call the mandate an unscientific power trip.
In a policy that further enraged critics, cops won’t arrest people on the Senate side of the Capitol, where masks remain voluntary. Local DC officials also have not reimposed a citywide mask mandate.
A bulletin for police says, “If a visitor or staff member fails to wear a mask after a request is made to do so, the visitor or staff shall be denied entry to the House Office Buildings or House-side of the U.S. Capitol. Any person who fails to either comply or leave the premises after being asked to do so would be subject to an arrest for Unlawful Entry.”

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.”

To be clear: Pelosi is directing police to ARREST vaccinated people who aren’t wearing masks.
This isn’t about science—it’s about power and control. https://t.co/XMXxI0Dw2D

Capitol Police ordered to arrest staff and visitors not wearing masks after new House mandate
U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) were ordered to start arresting visitors and staff who refuse to wear a mask on the House side of the Capitol complex starting Thursday, according to a police memo issued by new USCP Chief Thomas Manger that was obtained by a member of Congress.
Police were also advised not to arrest members of Congress for failing to wear masks but to report the lawmakers’ noncompliance to the House sergeant-at-arms, the memo says.
“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 told Fox News Thursday. “It’s absolutely unconscionable that this is where we’re at.”

This is INSANE. Might as well come into my office and arrest my entire staff. We are not wearing masks. I support the Capitol Hill Police, but the Chief of Police made a mistake here. The physician and the chief of police don’t have this authority. https://t.co/CgiSuNvE8c

Speaker Pelosi's draconian behavior isn't even based on credible science. This isn't about our well-being. This is about politics and power. https://t.co/zm6HpET7un

By order of Nancy Pelosi, Democrats in Congress are using the hardworking men and women of the Capitol Police to enforce their dangerous and politicized mask mandates. Arresting staffers who believe in science is absurd. https://t.co/ir8hUGoMFC

She should have her mask surgically attached PERMANENTLY and quit frightening children and horrifying adults. Even Geraldo says she gives him nightmares.
Yes, she does have “a face made for radio.”
Make it an iron mask, welded to her face, and i will be firmly supportive..
Pelosi has a permanent mask of botox, so she (Pelosi) is exempt from fines.
Her face is made from left over cement from a construction site. Stuff that’s usually thrown away but Pelosi decided to recycle it and applied it to her face.
Democrap crazy Nancy Pelosi needs to be constrained by a straight Jacket and locked in a rubber room located in the deepest basement of the US Capital!
Mask being optional!
I’d love to stick EVERY DEM in a 6×6 padded room with a straight jacket on.. FOR THE REMAINDER of their natural lives, if i could…
Too bad I can only give you 5 stars.
She needs dirt and daisies, as she has been in congress way past her bed time.
Arrest those without masks, and let go free those who shoot peaceful protesters. Who shot Ashley Babbit, the best kept secret since who shot Vince Foster. Even the grim reaper can’t stand to be in Pelosi’s company, and the daisies would probably wilt in the sterile ground she occupies.
Please lets not forget Seth Rich. Rip guy, sadly you picked the wrong team.
For most people the Mast does a pretty good job of protection , But in Nancys case, That mask she wears, isn’t large enough, we can Still.see her!
Na. Make her shark food.. Though that may be shark abuse!
Dirt and daisies, I like that.
The time is coming when Piglosi and the rest of her ilk are going to get the point that DC was built to showcase and encourage the people to visit “their House” I would like to know how the speaker can direct her police force to arrest people that are in their house for unlawful entry. I mean how can you do that. Its our house not hers or theirs which they seem to have forgotten or are willfully ignoring that fact.
TO THEM< ITS NO longer OUR house.. ITS THEIR House… and we must beg permission to enter.
Is dementia contagious? Has Joe been sniffing her hair and passed it along? Maybe its brain freeze from too much ice cream.
In the words of Forrest Gump: “stupid is as stupid does.”
To think that this woman is Constitutionally third in line for the presidency just scares the bejeebies out of me. She is practicing the ways of a dictator just in case she lives long enough to be ready to rule this country. Heaven help us!
Just thinking that senile Nancy could end up as president should scare the hell out of every citizen in this country. Make no mistake about it, if not stopped, the left wing liberal democrats will destroy this country.
That does seem to be their chosen path.
MAYBE That is why so many are too FEARFUL OF impeaching harris and biden.. THEY DON’T want piglosi becoming the next potus.
But she does not control congress, she only controls the house.
TELL HER that.
Who is the fourth in line ? How far down the list must we go to find someone with BRAINS?
OR one who’s NOT a rabid american hating traitor! BUT looking at the list, we are buggered up as they are ALL commucrats..
After the VP and Speaker comes
President pro-tempore of the senate.. Patrick Leahy, another dem
Then Sec of state, Blinkin, who’s another dem.
Then Sec of treasury, Janet Yellnin.. ANOTHER RABID dem
Then Sec of defense, Austin.. ALSO A DEM.
Then the AG – MERRICK Garland a well known rabid dem.
Then Sec of interior, Deb Halland.
Then comes Sec of agriculture – Tom Vilsak. DEM
The Sec of Commerce, Gina Raimondo. Another dem
Then Sec of labor, Marty Walsh, a dem
Then Sec of HHS, Becerra, a MASSIVE RABID dem
Then Sec of HUD, Marcia Fudge.. A dem
Then Sec of transportation, ANOTHER RANCID Dem
Then Sec of energy, Jenifer Granholm, a so-called moderate dem, but a dem none the less.
Then Sec of Education, Miguel Cardona, a dem.
Then Sec of vet affairs, Denis McDonough. DEM
Then SEc of homeland security, Mayorkas.. A WELL KNOWN rancid commucrat open borders loving traitor.
So as you can see, the ENTIRE LIST is filled with commucrats….
It’s not about the science. It’s about power. Why should anyone that’s been vaccinated be forced to wear a mask? Pelosi is an imbecile! She should be removed from her position as Speaker of the House.
Now it’s a crime ? What’s the charge ?
My God, is there no one in the Republican Party who has the courage to stand up to these tyrants ?!?
THe crime… NOT OBEYING YOUR MASTERS… Or so they say.
Someone needs to help Pelosi swallow her entire lower jaw. It won’t be a loss, she would get it back the next day…
The One Thing that Nancy PelosiCan recover is, ” Ethics,Nancy Pelosi Never Had ” Ethics. “
The word ” Can, In my comments Above Is, ” Can, It Should BeReplaced With, ” Can’t “
Someone should point out to her the masks make her look incredibly OLD.
(this comment entered at 3:35PM Eastern time, and will probably spend most of the evening listening to elevator music)
The Speaker is a tyrant in search of a victim to flog, tar, and feather first with a fair trial to be scheduled later, if at all.
No moral compass. No brain. Tremendous power for evil.
You forgot, NO SOUL!
Sounds like a GREAT lawsuit in the making…
Would that be filing a false police report (that the member of congress committed some CRIME)?
Or would that be false imprisonment?
Or BOTH?
Hmmm… Sounds like an interesting case…
I hope to hear about it (make that THEM) in the days to come…
Under the draconian rule of delusional, dishonest, and divisive Democrats like Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi, masks have become an essential tool that the left utilizes to control people during the pandemic. Therefore, as long as the Democrats dominate the federal government and can count on loyal health professionals like Dr. Fauci and Dr. Walensky to grossly overstate the threat that COVID-19 and its variants pose to the majority of the population that has already been fully vaccinated or has recovered from the virus, we will never be completely free from the left’s arbitrary mask mandates.
I thought pelosi said that she did not have authority over the capitol police when they had asked her for help before the January 6 fiasco.
She changed her mind, to SUIT her.
Well, even ” Can walk on water, ” Barack Obama once Said That some things, ” Were above his Pay Grade. “while he was President…
FULL ON TYRANNY BEGINS!!!!! Will those arrested be jailed like the January 6th “insurrectionists” who STILL languish in jail without any specific charges??? Just like Cuba, Venezuela, Russia, Germany but not to worry–the repubs will cry foul and then go back to molesting children. WHEN ARE AMERICANS GOING TO STAND UP????!!!! The lack of push back is truly AMAZING. Do the sheeple think this isn’t going to get worse–MUCH worse?? America deserves as much as it’s laying down for. Mark Levin must be beside himself.
Doesn’t realize that its a new day and the old dynosaurs, like ” Patriotic Americans who faught in World War 2, Still salute the Flag And are proud to be Americans .
You have to feel sorry for poor old Nancy Pelosi, Shes trying to prov that shes “A bsd As* Anti-American just like Burnie Sanders and the ” Squad, ” and shes so Miss understood
Heard on Glen Beck today the ugly old stupid greedy power hungry hag is also opening up capitol police offices in all 50 states to spy on “domestic terrorist” which are people who voted for Trump. This old flea bitten female dog has turned the capitol police into the KGB.
” The Dreggs of Society, ” as joe Biden use to refer to those who weren’t ” Anti- American, democrat Marxists. Of course Poor old Nancy Pelosi said, Ya , me too, Whatever Joe Biden said, not wanting to be out of the spot- Light !
I have lived in CA my entire life. I have watched Pelosi and her ilk commit voter fraud and then spread it across the nation this last election. I don’t live in her district so even just contacting her is impossible let alone voting her out of office. Do you really think the Recall of her nephew will be on the up and up? Not a chance. She had inside information and used it to make millions, Martha went to prison for less. She is SATAN. By the way all this junk about Republicans trying to make elections unfair is exactly what Jerry Brown did here. He changed the recall laws to benefit democrats. His logic was that people needed time to change their minds. Once she is gone there is still a lot of work to do to get our country back. She will be sorely missed (by America haters) but I will throw a party when that day comes. You all are invited to attend but you have to wear a mask. HAHA
