A photo of the 2021 Gingerbread Capitol posted by NBC News Congressional reporter Haley Talbot reveals a stunning lack of proper security for the frosted sugary cookie version of the federal legislature building during a time of increased threats of violence, as it shows that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s budget for its creation allotted for only two wooden nutcracker guards to be posted outside the entrance. Though sturdy and giant in size relative to the cookie people frolicking on the vanilla cream snow in front of the building, a determined horde of salty white crackers could quickly overwhelm the wooden guards and hang gingerbread Mike Pence with a Twizzler noose. Pelosi needs to immediately expand the budget to bolster security for the Gingerbread Capitol.
