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.

    Nah, its not Trumps playbook. Back when I was in college they tried to pass a constitutional amendment that would annul same-sex marriages for simply entering the state. NC GOP has been wild for a long, long time

      This. I grew up in single-party Republican Texas. It’s only now that people outside the South are really paying attention to what they have been doing to us.
