The Daily Mail <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-9874261\/I-parties-Nancy-Pelosi-church-disinvited-Obamas-60th.html\">reported<\/a> that Pelosi was on Obama\u2019s original list of more than 600 guests, but was cut after a massive backlash ensued over his ability to ignore COVID-19 restrictions while others have been required to follow them. Pelosi reportedly attended St. Elizabeth\u2019s Church on Martha\u2019s Vineyard \u2013 where Obama held his massive party \u2013 and took pictures with fans outside. Attorney Kevin Blake was outside the church, the Mail reported, and asked Pelosi how Obama\u2019s party went.<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi reportedly replied: \u201cI didn\u2019t go. I had other parties to go to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blake told the Mail that he found it \u201chilarious\u201d that Pelosi didn\u2019t go to Obama\u2019s party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be her, the most powerful woman in Congress, and not even go to his party? I find that hilarious,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd she\u2019s the one carrying forward his agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/08\/07\/obama-plays-golf-as-pelosi-flies-in-for-marthas-vineyard-party\/\">told<\/a> the New York Post that she was on Martha\u2019s Vineyard to attend \u201cprivate events in support of House Democrats\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/dan-crenshaw-thanks-birthday-bash-obamas-for-lockdown-message-do-not-comply\">reported<\/a>, Obama\u2019s birthday party was supposed to have more than 500 guests and 200 workers. Even scaled back, the event still had hundreds of guests, and photos and videos from the party <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/photos-video-leaked-from-obamas-allegedly-scaled-back-60th-birthday-party\">show<\/a> many didn\u2019t wear masks even inside tent structures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCelebrities, politicians and a couple hundred other \u2018close friends and family members\u2019 packed in to celebrate former President Barack Obama\u2019s 60th birthday Saturday in what was billed as a \u2018scaled-back\u2019 bash amid rising concerns about the fast-spreading Delta variant of COVID-19,\u201d the Post&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/08\/07\/obamas-scaled-back-60th-birthday-bash-draws-celebs-pols\/\">reported<\/a>. \u201cYet A-listers streamed into Martha\u2019s Vineyard for the swanky soiree at Obama\u2019s $12 million seaside mansion, and few were spotted wearing masks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/photos-video-leaked-from-obamas-allegedly-scaled-back-60th-birthday-party\">reported<\/a> over the weekend that a spokesperson for Obama claimed the party followed Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance, including the requirement that guests who were not fully vaccinated \u201csubmit a negative coronavirus test result.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis outdoor event was planned months ago in accordance with all public health guidelines and with COVID safeguards in place. Due to the new spread of the delta variant over the past week, the President and Mrs. Obama have decided to significantly scale back the event to include only family and close friends,\u201d the statement&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/entertainment\/celebrities\/2021\/08\/08\/barack-obama-birthday-former-president-celebrates-60-amid-covid-rise\/5530559001\/\">said<\/a>, according to USA Today. \u201cPresident Obama is appreciative of others sending their birthday wishes from afar and looks forward to seeing people soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The hypocrisy of Obama and his attendees did not escape many on the Right, including Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/dan-crenshaw-thanks-birthday-bash-obamas-for-lockdown-message-do-not-comply\">sarcastically thanked<\/a> the Obama for sending the message to others that they didn\u2019t need to comply with COVID-19 restrictions \u2013 or fearmongering.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrankly I think we should be thanking the [Obamas] for ensuring that Americans will absolutely not comply with more lockdowns,\u201d Rep. Crenshaw said on Twitter. \u201cLockdowns don\u2019t work, the costs are too high, and the people who force them upon us know this too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo not comply,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
