SENS MURKOWSKI, SULLIVAN HOST TOWN HALL FOR BUSINESSES
The federal Paycheck Protection Program ran out of money this morning as congressional Democrats, led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, blocked the $250 billion replenishment that Republicans were trying to get to struggling businesses across America.
But this weekend, Pelosi appeared from her mansion in San Francisco on the Late Late Show, showing off a $6,000 Wolf refrigerator with a freezer stuffed full of her collection of designer ice cream. Listen as she stops herself short of admitting she had her family over for Easter during the stay-home orders:
A pint of Jeni’s ice cream delivered to a home in Anchorage would set you back $12 plus $50 in shipping, but the total cost to Pelosi is closer to $16 a pint.
“I don’t know what I would’ve done if ice cream were not invented,” she Pelosi said via video conference from her fortress-style home in a posh neighborhood of San Francisco.
