Nancy Pelosi, the same woman who said a $2,000 tax cut bonus to you and your family amounted to “crumbs,” spent the first day of the government shutdown treating her fellow Democrats to an upscale dinner.
They’re literally celebrating the fact that they’ve shut down the government to protect illegal immigrants.
PELOSI hosting a dinner for all House Dems tonight at aqua al 2…..

Nancy Pelosi’s dinner was hosted at a Washington, D.C. restaurant known as Acqua al 2, an authentic Italian establishment featuring a menu the average American might not consider cheap.
On the menu at Pelosi’s dinner at Acqua al 2: cheeses and meats, pasta, lots of wine and for dessert … cheesecake with strawberry drizzle & tiramisu https://t.co/SWDiKUuANL

Needless to say, the optics of dining at a restaurant while the government is shut down didn’t go over very well with many people. These lawmakers should be eating cold pizza and Ramen noodles until they get a deal to keep the government running hammered out. You know, like every other person in America has to do during tough times.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders reminded Pelosi and the Democrats that while they’re living it up at authentic Italian restaurants, our fighting men and women are being furloughed.
“Nice message to send to the brave men & women of our military and border patrol forced to work without pay during the #DemocraticShutdown,” Sanders tweeted.
Nancy Pelosi is “very proud” Democrats shut the government down over illegal immigration and is taking Democrats out tonight to celebrate. Nice message to send to the brave men & women of our military and border patrol forced to work without pay during the #DemocraticShutdown https://t.co/438vcZvf3k

Families of military members also savaged Pelosi on social media for her lack of empathy towards their plight.
Hi @NancyPelosi Can my @USArmy daughter go? For some reason she’s not getting a paycheck and illegals get more support from dems then she does…personally I think its idiotic to hold up military paychecks… The play with high explosives… pic.twitter.com/rIzpJWKkbo

Former Trump administration official Sebastian Gorka reminded Democrats of their priorities …
The Left is celebrating.
Because they love illegals.
And not our military.
SHAMEFUL https://t.co/NwF0J4r59u

It’s shameful, but only to reasonable Americans. Democrats have no shame, and they’ve made no secret that they prioritize lawbreakers over military members for quite some time now.
Are you disgusted with Pelosi for hosting a dinner while military members go unpaid during the government shutdown? Share your thoughts below!

Sickening people continue voting for that ugly old witch, or any other rotten democrat who chooses ILLEGALS over real actual citizens. Completely disgusting way to get votes.
In the Senate, Sen. Jack Reed, a Rhode Island Democrat and the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, put in a bill called the “Pay Our Military Act” to allow service members to continue to receive paychecks and related compensation over the course of the shutdown.
“This bill would make sure that all active-duty, reservists, National Guard troops, as well as any civilians and contractors working in support of those forces can do their jobs and receive their paychecks,” Reed said in a statement.
Senator McConnell OBJECTED to the bill.
Senator Durbin introduced S2328 to continue payment of military wages, it was referred to committee run by Republicans.
Why no vote on the bills to continue to pay our military? Why does the Republican leadership in Congress refuse to vote to pay our military?
If we could get a guaranteed verdict of guilty for ALL the abuses of power by Obama, the Clintons and the DNC based on all the revealtions onging and STILL continuing and MOUNTING evidence of High Treason; it would be one thing THIS honorably serving Disabled by Agent Orange Vietnam vet with a 50 year old degree in Government would ABSOLUTELY not mind paying for: provided of course I could get an invite to the so well deserved Execution for such activity called for by the U.S. Constitution he so disdained as a “Flawed Document,” and ignored and disdained as much as he possibly could! I cannot think of anyone besides the aforemetioned who so DESERVE SUCH A FATE AFTER THE HARM DONE TO THIS COUNTRY BY THE LOT OF THEM!
Were it not for the efforts of the Judicial Watch, we would have had all knowledge hidden from us by the denial of their FOIA requests, long delayed by the Corrupt Obama DOJ and sloeed in rlease by his holdover personnel in that Department. ALL Americans should be contributing to Judicial Watch as our most EFFECTIVE watchdog agency. At least with them: WE GET A BENEFICIAL RETURN FOR THE INVESTMENT; not so with political contributions to either establishment party when all we get is more heartache and reduced freedoms, choices and quality of life while illegals and their progeny THRIVE, AT OUR EXPENSE, and to the detriment of our own!
And, of course, the taxpaying citizens of the US get the great ‘honor’ of picking up the tab, right?
And these worthless politicians (and I hate to admit, but there’s worthless pols on the right as well) continue to get reelected term after term after term. Their world is in no way connected to your and my world, where we WORK everyday to pay our bills, and balance our check books.
I’m disgusted with Pelosi for all she stands for! She cares nothing about the American people and particularly nothing about our armed forces. This woman and her GOOMBA Chuckie, should ride into the sunset so we Americans can get some work done!
Career minded politicians constitute a mind set that its all about them. Pelosi is a lifetime card caring liberal/socialist/democrat/progressive who ignores the interest of our nation and its people. She is a advocate for one world government and nations without borders. Her totally anti America stand in total support of absolute identified border crossing “illegals” simply to increase the dedicated democrat voter base smacks of “treason. This shocking betrayal of absolute support of our soldiers in time of war on terrorist clearly tells WE the People just who and what this poor excuse for a former speaker of the house truly is. She may well be proud of her contrite words but her destructive acts tell the voters who she really is. lee1233
Go for it Nadty Pelosi, why don’t you & the pedophile Chuckie Schumer resign before your dirty laundry gets aired in public. As Hannity likes to say tick, tock….
Nasty not Nadty, my bad.
Well…Democrats (majority) at their best! They live in a world that is all about me, myself and I and do as I say not as I do. The Dems are after votes in the coming election and need the DACA for support. Sad state our country is in, not caring for the Americans but support the illegals.
once again Pelosi shows what a disgusting “person” she is.
The nation knows what a POS that pelosi is and also many of the democrats. They showed their priority by all voting against the tax reform and their refusal to get involved with it, something that was badly needed by the country. Problems with the democrats are not seen by most of their voters, or they are too ignorant to understand, or they could care less especially since moist of them pay very little or no taxes.
A victory celebration for the globalists who don’t believe in borders.
Trouble is you and I are likely paying for this big dinner!
