Ousted McCarthy behind House office eviction notices given to Pelosi, Hoyer: report

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was behind the decision to kick Reps. Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer out of their Capitol hideaway offices, one of which the ousted speaker intends to move into, according to a report.

Just hours after Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) was named House speaker pro tempore following the historic vote to strip McCarthy (R-Calif.) of his speakership Tuesday, an email went out to Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Hoyer (D-Md.) notifying them to vacate their unofficial office spaces near the House floor.

You are a nonfactor. Both on this issue and your support for Meatball.
While Ronnie is circling the toilet bowl, McCarthy got flushed.
McCarthy is out. Your whining won’t bring him back. Time to move on.
Hopefully, we can get a Speaker that can unite the House and get back to
Regular Order.

Incorrect. The unofficial rule is that the office goes to the most recent former Speaker. Given that McCarthy is the most recent former Speaker, he took the office. Read the article before commenting.

A FReeper should read the article before commenting?
What a shocking suggestion!

Oh will you just read the article. It clearly states why McCarthy took the office.

Because she was still running the show. McCarthy should have done this the moment the new Congress was seated.

Mostly Dems voted him out. So spite is a great reason.

Unlikely.
More likely is the email had already been formulated and McCarthy wanted to tell them.
Probably so they had time to hide the evidence McCarthy was working with Pelosi.
