If you were wondering what might happen in the wake of Kevin McCarthy’s departure from the House Speakership, here’s something trivial and amusing to start your day. The Speaker pro tempore has booted Nancy Pelosi from her “extra” office.
“Please vacate the space tomorrow, the room will be re-keyed,” an email sent to Pelosi’s office viewed by Politico stated. The email added that the room will be used “for speaker office use.”
Pelosi is currently using a hideaway office, which only a handful of members receive. Given that she is speaker emerita, McCarthy allowed Pelosi to occupy the space. McHenry, who is a McCarthy ally, is clearly less keen on it.
Tomorrow was last Wednesday, but Pelosi isn’t out yet.
“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,” said Pelosi, who missed Tuesday’s vote in which McCarthy was ousted.
Wait, it gets better.
She slammed the move, calling it “a sharp departure from tradition.”
Isn’t the entire Democrat agenda a departure from tradition?
