Speaker Pelosi Revokes Vice President Pence's House Office Space

The speaker giveth, and the speaker taketh away.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has reclaimed office space her predecessor, Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., awarded to Vice President Pence.
Republicans gave Pence, a former House member, a first-floor bonus office in the U.S. Capitol shortly after President Trump was inaugurated in 2017.
The vice president rarely used the space, but it was a symbolic gesture of the warm relationship Pence enjoyed with Ryan and the House GOP. The vice president serves as the president of the U.S. Senate and historically has been provided an office on the Senate side of the Capitol, which is where Pence more regularly holds court when he visits Congress.
A placard above the door identifying it as Pence's House office was quietly removed in recent weeks. A House Democratic aide confirmed to NPR that the space will be reassigned. "Room assignments are reviewed and changed at the beginning of every Congress," the aide said.
The speaker has sole authority to dole out office space in the Capitol, which is prized real estate for members of leadership and senior staff. While Pelosi revoked Pence's office privileges............

When AOCgoes to jail he can have her office.
To whom is Pelosi going to assign Pence’s former office?
Speaker Ryan is the main reason we have Speaker Pelosi now and feckless GOP party minority in the House now. It’s a shame he was speaker for so long.
I agree. Same could be said of Boehner.
She needs to add another dining room to her office.
Maybe trump will put Nancy on a No Fly List ,LOL
You can ‘understand’?
So does that mean creepy Joe Biden was using the space zealously with gusto?
I think not.
This is Pelosi’s lamebrain way of scoring stupid points with her stupid base.
Petty, childish move, none the less.
President Trump Stops Congress from using Military Planes...
Joe Biden never had a such a space.
Paul Ryan created it for Pence and Pence “rarely used it”.
Hey, don’t guilt by association Entenmann’s with the Waddler. Enjoyed in moderation, E’s coffee cake is great.
Isn’t the Waddler just about the most vindictive & hate-filled little b@stard you ever saw?
I agree. The only question I have is which one of the Muslim/Socialist Congresswomen is Pelosi going to give the office to ?
See see see...Pelosi still has POWER!!!
There's no mention of the 'President's Room' in the Capitol Building.
Completed in 1859. Fresco paintings by Italian artist Constantino Brumidi.
[This is Pelosi’s lamebrain way of scoring stupid points with her stupid base.]
Yes, that’s exactly what it is.
[See see see...Pelosi still has POWER!!!]
Unlike AOC’s, Bernie’s, Danny’s and Sean’s Venezuela....
These have to be pretty scary times down there.
Nanny just get the memo MP flipped?
“Gerry Nadler couldn’t fit through the door in his office anymore so they needed to knock down the wall between his and Pence’s to get him out.”
Those darn typos! Did you mean Gerry Wadler?
