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.
Still in the house just not the speaker. Apparently it’s a tradition that former speakers are allowed to have larger offices out of respect. But a lot of Republicans just love to hate Nancy Pelosi.
Let’s also never forget she stepped down as speaker because a MAGA beat her husband to near death in his own home.
And the right continue to make jokes about that as if it’s hilarious
100%
But it’s TOTALLY not terrorism, guys. Pinky swear.
Is there an official office for house speaker?
Probably not, since it’s a role for a representative, not a separate job.
But that doesn’t mean that there isn’t an unofficial office.
Technically it doesn’t have to be a representative, but it always has been to my knowledge.
That’s a great question and I did a little cursory research but I couldn’t find anything.

I don’t think she’s a “terrible person” she’s definitely not perfect; she’s done things I agree with and she’s done things I disagree with, sometimes vehemently disagree with. There are Democrats that I think are despicable (Bob Menendez for example) and Republicans that I didn’t share views with but I thought were completely honorable people (former senator Flake for example). I try not to see politics as a team competitive sport. I try to see it as an exercise in cooperative disagreement.

You say that as if you actually know me. I’m willing to bet that the picture you have of me in your mind is very inaccurate.
Do I need to know you? When you’re happy to say that you think a person like Pelosi isn’t terrible then what else should I think?
It’s either you’re disconnected from reality or you support the fucked up shit that she’s into.
In either case your opinions come from a place of ignorance.
Well I wish you well in your crusade. I think you would be more successful by learning how to create coalitions and persuading people rather than berating them but who knows maybe it’ll work out for you. By the way, ignorance literally means “not knowing” and the best way to combat ignorance is through education. Somehow I think we both feel like we failed here today.
So cool. Then you also think Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Rep. Greg Gianforte (R-Mont.), Vernon, Don Beyer, and Dean Philips are so much worse, right? The more money, the more terrible they are, right? Then you also have Rick Scott, Mark Warner, Mitt Romney, and Mike Braun. All terrible people even though you possibly only know two facts about them.

Go back to Russia
Statements like this prove how dumb the average person is.
Who gives a shit what kind of person she is? I only care about what kind of job my politicians are doing. None of them are golden gods.
“Who cares that our politicians are terrible people, just as long as they benefit me!”
Then stop treating them like golden gods.
