House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Blocks President Trump Entry into Capitol Building

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Blocks President Trump Entry into Capitol Building – Confirms State of Union Speech Cancellation…

It looks like Speaker of The House Nancy Pelosi has no intention of allowing the House chamber to be used for a State of the Union address.

Speaker Pelosi has informed the House Sergeant at Arms that no executive branch official will be permitted entry into the Capitol building.

Earlier Fox News reported Pelosi cancelled a walkthrough last week, and a second request for reconsideration from the White House is expected to meet the same fate. The House Speaker controls who is, and who is not, permitted entry to the House floor. Until Speaker Pelosi calls for a vote to support a joint session of congress, the President cannot enter the chamber.

Deputy White House Press Secretary Hogan Gidley discusses the status of the current shutdown negotiations and the likelihood a SOU address will have to take place outside Washington DC.

May I suggest renting out Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco and doing the SOTU there?

You like riots?

Levi’s Stadium is in Santa Clara, about 40 miles south of SF. Oracle Park, formerly AT&T Park, however, is right in the middle of San Fran Nan’s Congressional District. Better yet, it is privately owned, so she can’t do diddly squat to stop it!

Check and mate!

My focus is the time zone... Do it on a Military base. San Diago, San Francisco. You have built in protection!

Declare house and senate congressional members and staff “non-essential personnel”, and shut down the Capitol building in it’s entirety....no work no pay.

That's provided the lame-stream media decide to broadcast the SOTU. I wouldn't be surprised if they get pressured by their Stalinist masters to avoid airing it.

Yeah, some will (Fox, etc.), but the alphabets would probably opt to air reruns of The Masked Singer, or other inane shows of that ilk.

Worth a re-post....

“Trump was “constrained” by the formal venue (in the House) & what has Nancy done? She has “set him free” to do what he does best - unconventional.

This should be interesting to see what Trump comes up with.’

I think you are on to something here, pointing out that she wants to be able to control the spin.

This is the way they’ve been trending: wanting to see his speeches ahead of times so they can “fact-check” with Snopes and poke holes in them.

Looks like this is coming from other sources as well.

Nancy Pelosi refused to allow White House officials access to the House floor for a State of the Union walkthrough

How about cutting off her fresh delivery of fresh Hawaii flowers each day to her office? Her lunch meals? Her plane?

How about cutting off any janitorial services to her office? Considering where her district is, it would probably make her feel right at home. Let her office become cluttered and filthy, just like her petty little mind.

No he should NOT submit a written SOTU

Do it in the Senate or a huge stadium

Call it the State of The Union address

If Pelosi wants a written STOU have the address transcribed and sent to Pelosi.

Or he could say he wants to give her a copy in person.

May I please have a hall pass Queen Nancy of Napa?

Can he go to the visitors section or sign up for a tour without her permission?
