"This is such an overstep of Speaker Pelosi's authority to basically make our Capitol Police arrest staff members and report on members [of Congress]," Cammack told Fox News Thursday. "The speaker of the House does not control the U.S. Capitol Police," Pelosi spokesperson Drew Hammill told Fox News. It says the police who work on the House side of the Capitol "shall enforce this mask policy on all staff and visitors" in "House Office Buildings, the Hall of the House, and House Committee meetings." The 2020 guidance also tells police to "not arrest" members of Congress who fail to comply with Speaker Pelosi's orders. "There's nothing new here other than a coordinated Twitter campaign," the aide told Fox News on Thursday.
