Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday said the newly named interim speaker, GOP Rep. Patrick McHenry of North Carolina, has ordered her to vacate her office in the Capitol building.

She does maintain her regular office in the Cannon House office building.

An email sent from McHenry’s office to Pelosi’s office just after 6 p.m. Tuesday evening that was viewed by CNN, stated, “Going to reassign h-132 for speaker office use. Please vacate the space tomorrow.”

Pelosi said in a statement that she was not in Washington, DC, to immediately move her belongings.

      McHenry is a piece of shit. Also he was running campaign ads on YouTube back in June, fucking 11 months before the primary.

        You know, I’m tired of this one. Every insult being an insult to blank is getting too predictable here.

          Everything on the Internet is predictable or boring to someone. Downvote and move on if it’s important to you. My pet peeve is, “tell me you’re X without saying you’re X”

            I can’t downvote without downvoting chihuahuas. My hands are tied. But you’re right I’ve devoted over twice the effort I should have with this comment.

              You can downvote my comment if you want. I won’t be offended. Authentic conversations are more interesting to me than Internet points. It’s easy to feel good when you’re upvoted a lot and easy to feel bad when you’re downvoted. It’s better to choose to not have an opinion on it either way.

                This is my first ever lemmy comment and I just wanted to share how much I enjoyed the wholesomeness of this exchange. A lot. Thank you.

          It’s just the pig pile mentality. At first there were upvotes, then someone said they were sick of seeing that style joke, and I told him it’s fine to just downvote and move on. After that people took my advice. Upvotes and downvotes don’t mean anything so it really isn’t a big deal.
