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.

    Still in the house just not the speaker. Apparently it’s a tradition that former speakers are allowed to have larger offices out of respect. But a lot of Republicans just love to hate Nancy Pelosi.

        I don’t think she’s a “terrible person” she’s definitely not perfect; she’s done things I agree with and she’s done things I disagree with, sometimes vehemently disagree with. There are Democrats that I think are despicable (Bob Menendez for example) and Republicans that I didn’t share views with but I thought were completely honorable people (former senator Flake for example). I try not to see politics as a team competitive sport. I try to see it as an exercise in cooperative disagreement.

        Who gives a shit what kind of person she is? I only care about what kind of job my politicians are doing. None of them are golden gods.

          “Who cares that our politicians are terrible people, just as long as they benefit me!”

          None of them are golden gods.

          Then stop treating them like golden gods.
