Do none of the leftovers here see this for what it is, or are they just afraid to speak out in fear of being canceled? I cannot believe none of them are smart enough to see it.

Or you nail her down into a spot where you say, "You don't want to? Fine. Drop the whole idiot thing, and pay back the fines assessed so far."

Well... no! Don't even legitimize it by giving her an option. She opened the door to de-legitimizing the rule by not following it herself... giving her an option to pay the fine re-legitimizes it the rule.. by the Republicans asking her to pay it!
Just don't even go there. Don't even give her that satisfaction. She can pay the fine (what's a few thousand when she's made BILLIONS off of the taxpayer already?), and then use it to say, "You were okay with the rule when I had to pay the fine. If it was good enough then, it's good enough now." No precedents. None. No matter how good the schadenfreude feels. It's just cheap thrills.
Republicans need to pound home that even Nancy couldn't follow it, and for the same reasons it's unreasonable and impractical to demand anyone to follow it, and it just needs to stop right now.
perhaps you could end with a clip of her stating "NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW!!!!"

Remember those metal detectors installed in the Capitol because Democrats are so deathly afraid of those Republican members who carry? They're a threat, you know ...
Well, Speaker Pelosi made rule that everyone had to go through those things to enter or leave, and when some were caught using an entrance called the speaker's lobby which does not have metal detectors, they were fined $5,000 and made to pay up.
When several House members ignored the metal detectors and entered through what’s known as “the speaker’s lobby,” Pelosi began issuing fines for evading the metal detectors. Rep. Louis Gohmert was fined $5,000 after briefly leaving the floor to go to the bathroom.
That's a $5,000 tinkle! Heckuva "swear jar" they've got going on there.
But, guess who got caught not following her own rules?
But Pelosi herself is guilty of the exact same thing. Rep. Rodney Davis caught Pelosi entering through the speaker’s lobby while evading the detectors.
The rule is that no one can use that entrance unless they are disabled. Pelosi is not disabled ... unless you count her not being able to get off the floor by herself after the kente cloth kneeling.
Somehow though, she doesn't seem to think she ought to pay. Davis reported her and Crenshaw has been after her too.
“Now is this a smart rule? No. Is this a rule that makes sense? No of course not. But that’s not the point, the point is they’re her rules. She’s literally confiscated property in the form of money, which we think is unconstitutional, but in any case they’re doing it,” the Texas Republican continued.
“She won’t abide by the rules herself so we’re going to make a huge push for her to actually have to pay that fine,” Crenshaw said.
Now Davis called the Capitol police to report the incident which is how this is all supposed to go, and they are supposed to report it to the Sergeant at Arms who issues the fine, but the Capitol police *never* reported it. House Republicans have sent a letter to Blodgett (Sergeant at Arms) demanding he enforce the rule, so we'll see how this goes.
