Despite the attention surrounding the look of the pens and how they were distributed, both Trump and Pelosi have previously done similar things.
In 2017 after Trump signed the Republican tax bill into law, he offered the pens he used to members of the media."I have some beautiful pens over here and because all of these folks are either continuing to work down the road or getting ready to leave, and I'm sure they'll be working very hard also, I think I'm probably going to hand some of them to the press," the president said after signing the legislation.
This past November, Pelosi used multiple pens and handed them out to her colleagues after she signed the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act. A video of the signing was posted to Twitter by CNN reporter Haley Byrd, in which Pelosi can be seen using a number of pens to sign the bills and proceeding to hand them out.
Speaker Pelosi just now signed the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act and a bill that would block exports of non-lethal crowd control products to the Hong Kong police force. The House overwhelmingly approved both bills last night. Now, theyâll go to Trumo for his signature.
They do look like bullets! I've seen numerous pictures of them.
OMG! What a STUPID comment!
Does that mean they liked them? Because, guns.
Great. Where can I get some of these pens?
Fox business does not have much to talk about on their programs if the style of a pen is newsworthy!
Cartridges. Is there an IQ test or something over there at Fox?
So let’s ban pens that look like bullet cases, but not, oh, FFS....
Well at least they didn't run ads with gun sights on the object of their displeasure, unlike NRA-TV.
Wow, putting your name on pens to celebrate an impeachment. Sad people.
Please don't waste space on things like this. Thanks!
