Members of the House of Representatives can now order alcoholic beverages for delivery directly to their offices from 8 am to 4 pm.
As House Speaker Nancy Pelosi lamented the demise of Democrat legislation to protect abortions and feigned outrage over America’s “unconscionable” baby formula crisis, her administrative office ramped up benefits for lawmakers.
House members received notification from the House Chief Administrative Officer announcing two new perks offered this week compliments of the chamber’s Democrat leadership: fully paid gym memberships and “House Drinks storefront” a brand new liquor and drinks outlet in the Rayburn House Office Building.
And lawmakers must show an ID to get served — unlike voting in Democrat states.
How racist!
“Pelosi is opening a liquor store in the House where Members can buy alcohol with their taxpayer-funded MRAs,” Rep. Austin Scott, R.-GA., announced in a tweet Friday.

“Wine and beer was often available at catered receptions on Capitol Hill,” Fox News reporter Chad Pergram noted. “But now booze can go directly to a Member’s office.”
1) The filibuster is fine. But liquor is quicker.
Fox has learned that lawmakers and aides can now order beer, wine and hard liquor directly to their offices.
This is through the new caterer on the House side of Capitol Hill, Sodexo.

Republicans slammed Pelosi for doling out additional perks for lawmakers as Americans struggle to make ends meet amid skyrocketing inflation, empty store shelves, record-high gas prices and a baby formula crisis.
“Joe Biden buys crack pipes, and Nancy Pelosi is opening liquor stores in Congress. Just what Americans want,” tweeted Rep. Drew Ferguson, R- Ga.

“Washington Dems couldn’t be more out of touch,” Ferguson added. “Americans can’t afford to buy groceries or put gas in their cars, and Nancy Pelosi decides now is a good time to open a congressional liquor store on Capitol Hill.”

And yes, your tax dollars can be used for purchases.

Democrat leadership is laughing at us while they’re intentionally burning down the country.
