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.

She may still get one of the private offices, it just won’t be nearly as nice as this one. Just from what I’ve gleaned from reading about how these offices are doled out. A deserving Republican will get this one.

I don’t wish that at all. I wish that she lives long enough to see the inside of a prison cell, at least.

All you need to know about the swamp and this situation came from McCarthy’s mouth yesterday. He thought everything was about protecting the “institution” not about doing the people’s work. Same for Nancy bitchin about losing her perks.

“a sharp departure from tradition”

What a hypocrite. The Dems are the last people in the world to worry about tradition. In her decades in the House, she worked to smash every tradition under the sun just to further their revolution…

And plenty more.

Great Question! The interim Speaker should be there when she cleans out her office to ensure she doesn’t steal anything.

Maybe if she spent some time in the Iron Bar Hotel, she could write a book about far left bimbo politicians being forced into lesbianism.

Now given what we know, it appears Pence is applauding Pelosi.

Sadly, it’s revenge for the Democrats voting to remove McCarthy.

Exactly! It's about the bromance. Where was the GOP outrage over spending?

She says she’s not in town, so she can’t move.

Rebel faction? Gimme a break. McCarthy had it coming.
