So the recent "Protestors-Climbing-Pelosi's-Wall" story called to mind this Dec 2018 jewel from PolitiFact. Wall? What wall?

No, Nancy Pelosi's home doesn't sit behind a wall
By Jon Greenberg
December 13th, 2018


The fight over funding for a wall along the border with Mexico has revived an attack on House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi that first showed up in February 2018. It’s just as fake now as it was then.
....

There’s a huge problem here. That is not Pelosi’s house. It’s an exclusive property that in 2013 Forbes called San Francisco’s "most expensive home."

We checked with Pelosi’s office and the San Francisco real estate records.

Here is what her actual house looks like:



Notice the absence of a wall. Our fellow fact-checkers at Snopes pointed out the truth about the walled-off home in February.

This Facebook post and all others like it are Pants on Fire.

Snopes, FactCheck, PolitiFact all claimed there is no wall around Pelosi's home. They each produced pictures to prove it. When I saw the story about protestors climbing Pelosi's wall, it raised the question "What wall?"

Well, it turns out Nancy Pelosi has at least 3 homes. The one Politifact et al cited in SF, her place in Wash DC, and a truly lovely $5.5M walled 16 acre vineyard estate in the Napa Valley where she apparently spends most of her Non-DC time.

Granted, it's all petty nonsense. After all, Nancy Pelosi doesn't need a wall. She's flanked with a 24-7 personal detail. Each of her places is wired with state-of-the-art security.

Nonetheless her Napa residence is walled. A FACT the fact-checkers damn well would have known

For these "Fact-Check" sites to be that deliberately misleading, duplicitous, all in lock step, should serve as an eye-opener for anyone who might want to trust them.

Why aren't her constituents demanding she pay more in taxes? Why doesn't she provide housing for illegals in some of her houses?

While I get the point of your post, the below is also worth mentioning.


Absence of a wall they say???? What do they think those brick things are on the sides of the house pictured? Those are called walls.

Good for her she can afford three homes, one of which is a $5M vineyard and another multimillion dollar home in SF. It’s nice to see she’s so good at saving her $223,000 yearly salary. That’s less than most doctors, and she’s so good with her money, she’s able to afford all that.

I find the entire debate over Pelosi having a “fence” around her home as weird. Those people going into her yard trespassing with signs reminds me of those liberal crazy people that think it’s ok to go on conservatives property to protest. None of that shits cool.

Meh, not weird given Pelosi's asinine proclamations about supposed immorality of walls.

I agree. They should have been jailed.

They show the house but not the GATES at the entrance of the neighborhood. You CANNOT walk up to this house unannounced.

But does that advance the ball? There’s simply better way to attack

The GOP is better off naming Dems that use to support the Wall. Ask Pelosi if Schumer and Reid were immoral for supporting a border wall in the past. POTUS should of hammered them on exactly that in his prime time speech.

Pacific Heights, SF is not gated TTBOMK.
Pelosi's SF home is at 2640 Broadway St, corner of Normandie and Broadway.
You can GoogleStreetView it.

I'm fairly certain her house is on Zinfandel Lane just south of St. Helena.

Snopes and Politifact are the equivalent of ESPN's QBR rating system.

Sorry, the Left took it to a new level with their cultish worship of Obama....remember the school kids singing his praises?

It looked eerily like the scene in the movie "Battle of the Bulge" where the German soldiers are singing and marching for Robert Shaw.
