Pelosi told an NBC News reporter that the dinner will be held in a venue that is “very spaced” to create social distancing. She also said that the Capitol physician approved the dinner.
Pelosi is hosting the dinner as health officials in San Francisco, which encompasses her congressional district, have suspended indoor dining because of a surge in coronavirus cases. Officials put new restrictions on restaurants, gyms and other businesses on Tuesday.
Pelosi’s decision to host the dinner was widely condemned on social media.
“Cancel your precious dinner, you maniacs,” MSNBC anchor Chris Hayes tweeted.

“This is setting such a bad example,” added CNN analyst Jackie Kucinish.
