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.

My thoughts too - this story is a nothing-burger and we get a number because some are as obsessed as the Dems when it comes to picking nits and calling them watermelons....as if we don’t have enough serious crap to be leery of the Dems about.

I can understand it, and who gives a good sh!t. It’s petty and vindictive and irrelevant.

“Petty Pelosi pulls Pence preferential place.”

Paints a possibly pornographic picture.
