Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused the new interim speaker, Patrick McHenry, of ordering her to vacate her workspace in the U.S. Capitol building on Tuesday, just hours after the chamber's abrupt leadership shake-up.

In a statement shared with NPR, Pelosi, D-Calif., said she was asked to leave her space "immediately."

This eviction is a sharp departure from tradition," she said in her statement. "As Speaker, I gave former Speaker Hastert a significantly larger suite of offices for as long as he wished," she added, referring to former Rep. Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., who served as House speaker from 1999 to 2007.

Pelosi said she'd be unable to move her belongings from the space because she was not in Washington, D.C. The California Democrat, who was absent from Tuesday's vote, said she's back in her home state to pay tribute to Diane Feinstein, the long-serving California senator who died last week.

7. Nothing exceeds the pettiness of the modern Republican...

I've personally experienced it many times. I think it's because in their minds, they can't distinguish actual crimes committed from things they simply don't like.

9. Nancy has a really nice office, probably the best one in the Capitol building

Somebody is salivating for her space, you can bet on that. Maybe it's Chump?

17. +1

11. even landlords have to give 30 days notice

Respect for coworkers shouldn't have to be legislated, but maybe when Dems get the majority back, they can add something to the rule book that former speakers get the perk of a hideaway office without permission from current speaker, especially if the current speaker is an abusive pile of traitor shit.
