Republican lawmakers on Friday requested that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi face fines after allegedly skirting new rules put in place to increase safety measures following the Capitol riot.
- GOP lawmakers are saying Nancy Pelosi should face fines for allegedly skirting new screening rules.
- Pelosi avoided the metal detectors outside the House chamber, GOP lawmakers said Friday.
- Republican reps who've refused to walk through metal detectors have received $5,000 fines.
Republicans serving on the House Administration Committee asked Timothy Blodgett, acting US Sergeant-at-Arms, to impose fines on Pelosi. In a letter to Blodgett, which was posted to Twitter, they say Pelosi did not walk through the newly installed metal detectors upon entering the House.
"Yesterday, at approximately 9:59 am, multiple members observed the Speaker of the House entering the House Chamber without completing security screening," the group wrote.
"What was observed was a clear violation of House Resolution 73 and you are required by House Rules to impose this fine. Please inform us once the fine has been assessed," the letter continued. "We look forward to a prompt response to this inquiry."
