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.

    So cool. Then you also think Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Rep. Greg Gianforte (R-Mont.), Vernon, Don Beyer, and Dean Philips are so much worse, right? The more money, the more terrible they are, right? Then you also have Rick Scott, Mark Warner, Mitt Romney, and Mike Braun. All terrible people even though you possibly only know two facts about them.

      Right. You’re almost there. It’s almost as if the system is broken and corrupt. These people take advantage of that instead of fixing it, all so they can get rich. It’s all at the expense of you, your family, and friends.

      So instead of normalizing it we should be fighting it. Sounds like you all are a lot more comfortable with the normalization route. It’s OK that politician A is corrupt because B C and D are way worse, right? Yet some how you expect change? Nothing is changing expect for billionaires adding another billion and your friends and family are getting poorer.

      So tell me again how these politicians aren’t terrible people?
