House Republicans took revenge on their Democrat colleagues for voting with eight Republican lawmakers to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as speaker of the House.
Just hours after the House voted Tuesday on the motion to vacate the speakership, House Speaker pro-tempore Patrick McHenry (R-NC) kicked Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) from her Capitol Building hideaway office. A video circulating on X showed Pelosi’s office being vacated just after Republican leadership gave the order. Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD), the second-ranking member of the House Democrat leadership, was also asked to vacate his hideaway office in retaliation on Wednesday.

Just one more sign of McCarthy’s monumental weakness.
Imagine what else he has done FOR Democrats that we don’t know about.
Pelosi said it is a long time tradition and Hastert was allowed to keep his offices after she became Speaker.
If “Republicans” think this is infuriating the base, think again
My only motive for crossing the aisle would be to knock the living daylights out of one of my "colleagues" who so desperately needed it.
Yup. Pelosi was ‘running’ Jeffries & Kevin, IMO .... “shadow speaker”, if you will & why Biden gets what he wants, for the most part. She’ll still run Jeffries/DemonRats ... we’ll see if the new Speaker is enough of a milquetoast for her to run him/her, too. Pelosi evidently can still ‘break kneecaps’ politically. She won’t give up the power she’s accumulated until she joins her dear friend DiFi for a permanent nap.
The country is going down anyway. Might as well make life for the leftists as miserable as possible.

LOL
What office does Jeffries have?
LOL, revenge is holding up any spending until and unless they seal the border and build a wall again.
Start by kicking McCarthy out of the speakers office.
Good. This would not even be a story if the roles were reversed
thats not revenge
the question is why was she still there?
kevin?
A couple of offices. By all means stick it to them, but it an inconsequential gesture.
Meanwhile, every single day the country is adding $6 billion to the national debt.
It’ll do for a start, I guess. I was thinking more along the lines of floggings and ducking stools.
Apparently she extended a similar courtesy to Dennis Hastert. Fine, but there are two lessons to be learned here: first, never believe a single thing a rat say, or promise made. Second, courtesies like this shouldn’t have been extended in the first place. The rats have spent years shivving republicans ruthlessly every chance they get. This “the distinguished gentleman “ and “my honorable friend” crap is only used when it’s of benefit to them. Otherwise, no hold are barred and shouldn’t be for us either

It certainly has the optics of revenge on the part of the McCarthy Republicans to punish the Democrats for failing to vote to save McCarthy.
It was also poor optics to kick Pelosi out of her special room while she was escorting Feinstein’s dead body to California.
That is a breath of fresh air. Ideological allies in unlooked for places is a good omen.
I would guess a nice one as Leader of the House Democratic Caucus and House Minority Leader, but have no idea otherwise.
