Nancy Pelosi is evicted from her private Capitol Hill office by interim House Speaker Patrick McHenry
Daily Mail UK ^ | October 4, 2023 | Keith Griffith

One of interim US House Speaker Patrick McHenry's first official acts in the temporary role was to oust Nancy Pelosi from her honorary office at the Capitol, while she was away in California to pay tribute to late Senator Dianne Feinstein.

Pelosi, who was dubbed 'Speaker Emerita' by the Democratic Caucus after the party lost its House majority in the 2022 midterms, had retained a coveted hideaway office in the complex.

McHenry, a North Carolina Republican, was appointed acting speaker by his GOP ally Rep. Kevin McCarthy, who was ousted from the speaker's chair by a rebel faction of the party on Tuesday.

Although McHenry will only lead the House until a replacement is voted in, he acted swiftly to exercise his new powers by giving Pelosi less than 24 hours to vacate her honorary office.

'Please vacate the space tomorrow, the room will be re-keyed,' a top aide on the Republican-controlled House Administration Committee wrote in an email to Pelosi's office, according to Politico.

he email added that the private office had been re-assigned for 'for speaker office use' and ordered her to vacate the space by Wednesday.

Pelosi blasted the move as 'a sharp departure from tradition' in a statement to Politico, adding that she had given former Speaker Dennis Hastert, a Republican, 'a significantly larger suite of offices for as long as he wished' during her tenure.

'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,' she said.

Although private offices in the Capitol are fairly common among senators, they are rare and coveted among House lawmakers.

The republicans have not suddenly gotten a spine, they are bitter because the rats didn’t save Rino Kevin.

(I know it doesn't mesh with the tagline, just an observation that bitterness can be the beginning of a spine.)

This is no doubt well deserved, but I suspect she will wear it as a badge of courage. The question is, why on earth would McCarthy have ever trusted her to “have his back”? He shouldn’t have opted to put himself at the whim of a single member, especially when there are a couple of them under investigation for ethics violations.

I hope she does fly on airforce planes, that would be a violation of law.

The only thing that makes me sad about Feinstein’s passing is that it wasn’t Hillary.

She didn't have his back, she had his pictures with xxxx and records of crooked deals.

Kevin McCarthy was a swamp creature, a liar and a dirt bag and I am glad he is gone.

Well, the silver lining is that we no longer have a Californian as Speaker.

i seem to remember DJT helping out McCain’s family with plane at his death (for no thanks whatsoever) so i imagine Joey was accommodating considering long service of DiFi.
