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 McHenry’s office to Pelosi’s 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.
You’re of course 100% right. It looks like a cheap ploy to me though. McCarthy was not a friend to Democrats and he didn’t kick Pelosi out of her office. It looks like either McHenry is trying to earn brownie points with the freedom caucus by beating up on Pelosi or maybe he’s kicking her out of her larger office so he can use it as a bargaining chip to garner support for his run on the speakership.
Her office also has symbolic meaning to the J6er fuckholes because of that famous photo of that douchebag teabagging her stuff.
Ding ding ding!
