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.

    Because the media even left leaning sites seems to focus only on what the GOP says.

      Shock value and controversy sell clicks/views/engagement. It’s all any media does anymore and it’s annoying as crap.

        It’s why the news treats a man tripping on a sand bag with the same importance as someone trying to start world war III.

        This is what happens when your incentive structure doesn’t reward actual proper journalism.

      That’s because of 2 main factors: (1) They are almost all owned by large corporations - yes, even the “left learning ones” - and corporate ownership always imparts a right wing bias simply because the people in charge are wealthy and want to only get richer (it’s basic self-interest); and (2) Right-wingers “take the bait” faster and more widely, which translates to more views, more ad revenue, etc. (see #1).

        “All corporations are inherently right wing… I mean, unless it’s like a worker cooperative run exclusively by sternum piercing bisexuals, but no, all corporations are inherently right wing at least in an economic sense.” -Hassan Piker (Turkish-American Twitch Steamer and Political Commentator)
