Rep. Liz Cheneny (R-WY) ripped Nancy Pelosi for attending a dinner party around the same time Iran sent multiple ballistic missiles towards a base housing U.S. troops.
Cheney responded to Matt Wall who tweeted:
While an American base is under attack Nancy chooses to party with DC society.
Cheney blasted the House Speaker, tweeting “Speaker Pelosi is an embarrassment and unfit for office.”

Nancy Pelosi had reacted to news of bombings targeting U.S. troops in Iraq by tweeting:
Closely monitoring the situation following bombings targeting U.S. troops in Iraq. We must ensure the safety of our servicemembers, including ending needless provocations from the Administration and demanding that Iran cease its violence. America & world cannot afford war.
However many social media users noticed that only minutes earlier she was snapped at a Ritzy party at Danny Meyer’s Maialino Mare opening in Navy Yard.
