President Trump Just Called Pelosi Out For The Fraud She For The World To See

President Donald Trump took to Twitter this week to question why Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would be getting her regularly scheduled paycheck during the government shutdown after other federal workers did not get a paycheck on Friday.

“Why is Nancy Pelosi getting paid when people who are working are not?” the President tweeted on Tuesday.

Western Journal reports, “Pelosi makes $223,500 a year as house speaker.”

“She did not respond to questions about whether she was accepting pay during the partial government shutdown, according to a Jan. 7 Washington Post article. However, she was not among more than 70 members of Congress from both parties who have said they will refuse or donate their pay during the shutdown, accoridng to a CNN report Thursday. Those members include Republican Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw and Democratic Virginia Rep. Virginia Wexton, both freshmen, according to Fox Business,” the news outlet explains.

Pelosi wasn’t the only one to avoid the question. Other Congressional leaders seemed to dodge it, as well.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and House Minority Whip Steve Scalise would not talk of their plans as to whether they would be accepting or refusing pay during the partial government shutdown starting Jan. 7, the Washington Post reports.

President Trump’s presidential salary has been donated from the start. The sum amounts to $400,000 per year, according to Business Insider.

The President has donated his salary to the Department of Transportation in order to help rebuild infrastructure. He has also donated to the Department of Health and Human Services to help combat the epic opioid crisis in our country.

Western Journal reports, “The shutdown affects roughly 800,000 federal employees, who missed their first paychecks Friday. A news release from the Senate Appropriations Committee estimated more than 420,000 essential federal employees would be expected to work without pay. Some lawmakers have introduced legislation to change how future shutdowns affect lawmakers and federal employees.”

Republican Montana Senator Steve Daines revealed a bill Thursday that would withhold Congressional members’ pay of members during future government shutdowns.
