Rep. Thomas Massie questioned why Nancy Pelosi didn’t call Congress back yesterday to vote on a disaster relief bill. Instead, Nan was more interested in attending a Disney fundraiser.
What was it Ilhan Omar said? It’s all about the Benjamins …
Why didn’t @SpeakerPelosi call Congress back today to vote on a disaster relief bill? A fundraiser with @DisneyStudios is more important to her. Will she tweet again that she can’t believe a bill didn’t pass while she and the Dems were schmoozing in LA?https://t.co/3XF2YqMjVc

Gotta schmooze.
Thomas doubled down.
Pelosi would rather raise money in Hollywood than come back to DC to vote on the disaster relief bill…https://t.co/MoB7OWx5PF

And it seems his tweets got the attention of a Twitter troll who took it upon ‘himself’ to white-knight for Nancy. Although he didn’t do such a great job of it …
That’s because Congress is not currently in session.
Sorry, Sparky. If you & Chip Roy has just voted for it when Congress WAS in session it would be done by now. Speaker Pelosi & other members of Congress have work in their own districts scheduled. Unlike you … pic.twitter.com/cIF1C5DiIv

Oh … my dude.
The only ‘sorry Sparky’ person we’re seeing is the troll because guess what?
Pretty sure Congress _was_ in session today since I said the pledge of allegiance after the opening prayer was delivered. https://t.co/Ig7WGD8qYe

Oopsie.
Guess the guy who actually works in the House would probably know, eh Sparky?
Pro-forma Session, Skippy — during which no votes are taken and no other legislative business is conducted. If you think you can call Congress to VOTE with a pledge — you may need to take a seat and check your delusion before the Actual Speaker of the House does it for you.

Oooh, now he tried Skippy.
Wait a tick, have we found Nancy’s sock account? Nancy, is that you? If so, nice goatee.
Heh.
I love that you’re actually trying to prove my point. Their effort to do formal business (pass a $19 billion spending bill) in a proforma session today with only 4 members present _was_ legislative malpractice. https://t.co/GYGYtSGrPh

And the mic has been dropped.
Troll has been dismissed and owned.
Oof. Careful. Owning people is illegal.

In my defense, he clearly owned himself. #sassywithmassie
