Pelosi thinks she is special

 Fox News:

Republicans on the House Administration Committee are calling on Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to pay the fine for not going through metal detectors to get onto the House floor after her office confirmed that she hadn't used them to access the floor in February.

Reps. Rodney Davis, R-Ill., Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., and Bryan Steil, R-Wis., sent a letter to acting House Sergeant-at-Arms Timothy Blodgett requesting he levy fines against the speaker for not following the security protocols all members are required to follow to get to the House floor.

The lawmakers pointed out that metal detectors, or "magnetometers," were placed at "three entry points" to the House chambers while others were changed to be exit only. They said C-SPAN footage and the speaker’s office confirmed Pelosi had used a "closed entrance" to enter the House chambers from the Speaker’s Lobby.

The group also said that, for a "significant period of time," there were no metal detectors "at any entrance of the Speaker’s Lobby, which meant no Member was permitted to use those entrances to the House chamber."

"However, the Speaker of the House has recently confirmed that she entered the House Chamber through a closed entrance on multiple occasions without completing a magnetometer security screening," the lawmakers wrote. "Without evidence, she says that she was 'wanded,' and that this activity satisfied the ‘security screening’ requirement of Resolution 73."

"By her own admission," the lawmakers said Pelosi had been "afforded special treatment" when she avoided taking a stroll through the metal detector and was "wanded" instead.

Pelosi required the metal detector because a Republican woman representative got a permit for concealed carry in DC.
