Breitbart obtained photos of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi going maskless at a DC event on Tuesday, in violation of the venue’s requirements, President Biden’s guidelines, and the tweeted opinions of her own staffers.
Robyn Patterson, deputy communications director for Pelosi, criticized Republican staffers for “embracing anti-mask sentiment” on Twitter shortly before the photos went public.
Now that Omicron has emerged, I wonder if any Republican Hill staffers regret embracing anti-mask sentiment as a personality trait.

Breitbart published the photos of Pelosi at a crowded DC event held by the California State Society. While many other attendees were photographed with their masks on – Pelosi didn’t seem to feel the need to wear hers.
As you can see from the selections below, the response on Twitter was swift and brutal.

Pelosi’s maskless photos appear just a day after President Biden urged all Americans, vaccinated or unvaccinated, to wear masks indoors again.
Breitbart notes:
The event reportedly took place at the Museum of American History. Tickets for the event state that all attendees over the age of two are required to wear masks.
