That continues to be total bullshit.


There is nothing hypocritical about campaigning as hard as possible for higher taxes if that happens to be your thing, while at the same time paying exactly the amount in taxes that current law does require. If she succeeded (God forbid) in raising the upper tax bracket to 75% beginning in 2019, and paid exactly what the law in effect in 2018 required for that tax year, absolutely no hypocrisy in that.

If she evades taxes in 2019 so that she pays less than what she herself campaigned for and ultimately won, she would be a hypocrite, a scoundrel, a criminal, you name it.

This is just repubs with endless reasons to hate on Pelosi not being satisfied with them and inventing more. Which is nonsense, although hardly unusual in politics.
