Pelosi says interim House speaker McHenry has ordered her to vacate her office in the Capitol ...
Source: CNN
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday said the newly named interim speaker, GOP Rep. Patrick McHenry of North Carolina, has ordered her to vacate her office in the Capitol building.
She does maintain her regular office in the Cannon House office building.
An email sent from McHenrys office to Pelosis office just after 6 p.m. Tuesday evening that was viewed by CNN, stated, Going to reassign h-132 for speaker office use. Please vacate the space tomorrow.
Pelosi said in a statement that she was not in Washington, DC, to immediately move her belongings.
With all of the important decisions that the new Republican Leadership must address, which we are all eagerly awaiting, one of the first actions taken by the new Speaker Pro Tempore was to order me to immediately vacate my office in the Capitol, the California Democrat said. Sadly, because I am in California to mourn the loss of and pay tribute to my dear friend Dianne Feinstein, I am unable to retrieve my belongings at this time.

Is it just me or is this petty payback for the Democrats voting against McCarthy? Is Pelosi still the bogart for the GOP House members that they feel the need to strike out against her in particular?
Or is McHenry stuck in a really bad office and just wants to take the opportunity to get a better one while he can? That may be a little too generous given the short deadline he gave her.

(9,865 posts)unless he is voted in as permanent Speaker, it would be a waste of time.
In the mean time I think he wants the office for himself, before the permanent Speaker grows a conscience and allows Pelosi to keep her Capitol office.

Being petty. He knows she is in CA. What an idiot.

(5,206 posts)Strikes me as a petty move vice one due to lack of space. What seconds this thought is the fact the House currently stands in recess until next week. This well could have waited until the Former House Speaker returned from California.
Hopefully Former Speaker Pelosi has assistants back in DC who can respond to this petty order.

I told him, Marcio this is the same MAGA party who didn't care about Pence being HUNG on January 6th, who still wants to burn this country down to the ground, then turn it into the USSA, who wants their mentally deranged cult-leader, rapist tRump back in the White House to finish off this country, they're the party who hates veterans, the sick, old, minorities, who wants SNAP ended, free lunch programs stopped, to repeal health care for Vets so that they can make those tax cuts for the rich permanent because you know, it's tough out there for Billionaires and millionaires, the same mostly fascist party who adores babies once they turn into kids then it's fuck you and your Mamma too if they need help, the same party who has DeathSantis in it and he's the Governor in floriDUH whose a slavery-defender, yeah, said that the slaves loved slavery---hey, they had three square meals a day of ROTTEN food and working out in the field until DEATH, the party who wants an 11 year old to have her own Father's incest baby, the party who wants to jail women and doctors who try to save a woman's life if she's dying from an ectopic pregnancy. Can I stop now Marcio?
I told my friend to stop trying to find any humanity in tRump, these MAGA asses and in the FREEDUMB KKKcaucus. Those who are not mentally deranged are literally fighting against filthy, nasty, hating, treasonous, enemy combatants
He then said, "Sorry Lena, I see your point." I told him if he ever calls me and tells me that he's "shocked" about something that tRump, MAGA, the Freedumb KKKcaucus, pedophile Gaetz who probably thinks that a 13 year old is a 'hot date,' about anything that self-described Christians and Ladies of the evening Greene and Boebert say, or you tell me about how 'shocked' you are about something that asshole Gosar says about "Those Jew People" with his mentally deranged, racist ass, I'll hang up on you

(41,778 posts)It is called the hideaway office. Its a second private office she has had and was allowed to keep out of respect for having served as speaker.
This was McHenry showing the world that he is a small, petty, and graceless man.

If this was really just for voting McCarthy out, then he would have cleared Gaetz' office.

New Acting Speaker Patrick McHenry's good friend Kevin McCarthy was ousted as Speaker tonight. The diminutive, bowtied Representative's first act was to try to break the Speaker's podium with his gavel.
