MIAMI (FCV) – Monday, Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) bashed South Florida infrastructure on Twitter, citing an ABC 10 News report.

South FL roads and bridges are failing, mass transit is lacking, and climate change has rising sea levels littering fish onto South Beach streets, Red Tide impacting tourism, and major storms hitting regularly.

Pelosi’s criticism antagonizes the state, but seems hypocritical to conservatives, given recent reports that the Speaker is house-hunting in the South Florida region for her retirement.

The most notable witness attesting to Pelosi’s intentions is Representative Marjorie Taylor Green (R-GA), who claims to have been on the same plane as Pelosi.

Nancy Pelosi went house hunting last week in south Florida.

She was actually on my plane.

She wants to retire in Florida to enjoy low taxes, mask free hair salons, and Republican freedom policies, while literally destroying all these good things for the American people.

Pelosi’s residence in Florida, a Republican-plurality state trending towards solid Republican/deep Republican territory electorally, would run contrary to her criticism of Republican leaders like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R).

Nancy Pelosi says South Florida is failing because Republicans didn’t vote for the infrastructure bill.

This is coming from the same woman who was just scouting for a retirement home in South Florida.
