Nancy Pelosi Attended ‘Other Parties’ Over Obama Bash
A lavish party for former President Barack Obama, on Martha’s Vineyard this weekend, was downsized due to concerns about the coronavirus.
Obama’s party was originally slated to have a nearly 500-person guest list along with 200 workers.
However, the posh Winnetu Ocean Resort was “scaled back” due to the recent rise in cases of the highly contagious Delta variant of COVID-19.
Although worries behind the ongoing virus are still reigning, it didn’t stop the former first family from enjoying a night of
celebrating with A-list celebrities at the 60th birthday bash.
The guest list included people like Gayle King, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, and Steven Spielberg, according to People magazine.
One expected guess, however, didn’t make an appearance –Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the U.S. Representative.
Why Didn’t Nancy Pelosi Attend?
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Sunday that she had better things to do than attend former President Barack Obama’s
extravagant 60th birthday celebration.
“I didn’t go. I had other parties to go to,” Pelosi replied when asked according to the Daily Mail.
Pelosi had just attended a church service Sunday morning when Kevin Blake, a 61- year-old lawyer who was visiting the area
from Connecticut, asked her about the party before thanking the veteran Democratic politician for “keeping the
Republicans in line.”
What Do People Think About A Democrat Not Attending?
“To be her, the most powerful woman in Congress, and not even go to his party? I find that hilarious,” Blake told The Daily Mail.
“And she’s the one carrying forward his agenda.”
A Pelosi aide told The Post she was on Martha’s Vineyard to attend “private events in support of House Democrats” — and not for Obama’s party.
The Obama Bash, The Place To Be
Despite Nancys’ peculiar absence, the Obama Bash was the place to be.
Other A-list attendees included: Jennifer Hudson, Bradley Cooper, Don Cheadle, Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade, Erykah
Badu and Steven Colbert.
