Nancy Pelosi’s office replied to the news that her husband had been detained in Northern California on suspicion of DUI the day following his arrest.
The 80-year-old California senator would not be commenting on the alleged crime, according to a statement from Drew Hammill, Pelosi’s spokeswoman.
Paul Pelosi is worth $120 million, but according to Chad Prather of The Blaze, “the economy is so awful even he can’t afford a chauffeur.”
“Paul Pelosi is worth over $100 million and he can’t afford to hire a cab,” said conservative commentator Brigitte Gabriel.
Democratic strategist Peter Daou: “The Pelosi family’s insider trading is worse than the DUI.”
Journalist Charles Gasparino said, “You’d think these folks could buy an Uber with all the money they make trading stocks.”
Can’t blame him, says radio presenter Mark Levin.
Radio presenter Jason Rantz: “I’m not sure it’s news that Nancy Pelosi’s husband got a DUI as long as there’s no special treatment.”
Nancy Pelosi’s husband was arrested for DUI, reports Chad Prather of The Blaze. You would be drinking and attempting to flee as well if she were your wife.
Rep. Lauren Boebert, a Republican from Colorado, said: “This Memorial Day weekend, remember not to drink and drive. @SpeakerPelosi, “Save a life, use Uber.”
I GUESS INTOXICATED OLD MAN DIDN’T HAVE 20.00!! TOO OLD TO DRIVE ANYWAY!
