LOL. Republicans who took over the House SCIF today to protest Dems and their closed impeachment proceedings just ordered pizza:
This is a whole disaster. Republicans ordered pizza, apparently, and are just like, refusing to leave. Swalwell is outside the SCIF and says they will “not be deterred by this.” Calls it “Republican obstruction of Congress at the behest of the president.”

Good luck getting rid of them now, Dems:

Calm down:
The most absurd part of the House Republican’s barging in on the Laura Cooper hearing, is the fact they brought pizza with them. Not kidding.

Republicans even ordered pizza for the press:

But they’re mad they got Domino’s and not some other brand:
House repoublicans just dropped off pizza for reporters.@RepMarkMeadows told us “you’re gonna be here a while.”
Side note: They sent us @dominos and got themselves @wethepizza (arguably the best in DC). pic.twitter.com/eyIagW3Cn8

For what it’s worth, the members and staff inside the SCIF have We the Pizza (which tbh is far better than the Dominos out here)

“This is bribery” is sure-to-be the next Dem talking point:
The pizza has allegedly been ordered by Republicans for reporters waiting outside the SCIF.
Major ethical dilemmas facing hungry reporters right now. https://t.co/wsyaAUn9QK— Natalie Andrews (@nataliewsj) October 23, 2019
Look how easy it is to get good coverage?
Hey, I hear there’s free pizza for journalists outside the SCIF. …

As a member of The Press I am nonetheless ashamed at how quickly I would eat a slice of pizza of any origin right now

Just eat the pizza, guys:
PIZZA NEWS — Rep. Mark Meadows gleefully delivers 14 boxes of Domino’s Pizza to the reporters camped out, saying they were bought by Reps. Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise. Reporters told him we couldn’t accept gifts, to which he said: “There is no quid pro quo. You can eat it!” pic.twitter.com/8xNIm06FOd
