CNN can confirm that GOP Rep @PatrickMcHenry, the temporary Speaker, has ordered Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi to exit her Capitol hideaway by tomorrow, as first reported by Politico.

Pelosi is in SF to attend memorial for the late Sen. Feinstein.

UPDATE: Rep. Pelosi statement:

[Takket]

1. "exit her Capitol hideaway"

what exactly does that mean? She's losing her office?

[SCantiGOP]

2. A second office

that’s not accessible to the public

[bigtree]

3. senior members have prime office spaces away from their official one, most of them holes in the wall

...but they're members' own personal space which is normally respected as a soft perk of leadership and tenure.

[TreasonousBastard]

8. So then McCarthy would have one, too?

[bigtree]

11. not sure if he was able to make that move, or if he already had one

...probably has a hangout, but it's likely not something to brag about like many of the senior legislators' - especially the senators.

It's going to be found in someone's reporting, not in any public record.

[stopdiggin]

4. I'd like a better explanation too -(nt)-

[bigtree]

10. closely held secrets of hideaways

thank you so much for that link about the hideaways. I LOVED IT!

i wish there were more pictures other than just the single shot of mcconnell's hideaway.

great little piece.

[honest.abe]

5. This guy is probably going to make McCarthy look like a saint.

I think we made a mistake voting with Gaetz to remove him.

[AntivaxHunters]

15. Agreed

[Kingofalldems]

16. Ahhhh.

[Dave says]

19. Agreed

The devil we know can be better than a devil unknown.

[ancianita]

29. Dems made agreements with McCarthy that he betrayed. DEMS COULD NOT TRUST McCARTHY.

Right after the stop gap vote, he actually got on TV and publicly blamed Democrats for the impending shutdown!

Dems voted the way McCarthy deserved, they did not vote McCarthy out to back Gaetz.

[crickets]

33. 👆👆

they did not vote McCarthy out to back Gaetz

[madaboutharry]

6. They have no grace or decency.

They are little weak men.

[Deuxcents]

7. Just great. Another flaming moron at the republican helm

[Rebl2]

14. Am not really

surprised.

[central scrutinizer]

9. Needless cruelty is SOP for GQP

Owning the libs!

[AdamGG]

12. Maybe McHenry will give Pelosi's office to

The guy who was convicted for breaking in on January 6th and taking photos sitting in her chair and pissing on the floor (I think). He'd fit right in with their caucus.

[niyad]

13. May he, and his enablers, receive everything they deserve.

[bahboo]

17. I share your sentiment....

[LoisB]

32. EVERYTHING!!!

[dlk]

18. McHenry's hateful move is reminiscent of another petty, vindictive Republican speaker, Newt Gingrich

The guy who dumped his second wife while she was hospitalized for breast cancer so he could make his mistress wife number three.

Going after Pelosi while she’s at the funeral of a dear friend and colleague, is classic Republican misogyny. Some things never change.

[wnylib]

34. GOP summary - Tacky, ignorant, classless pieces of shit.

[dlk]

42. There's never a shortage of women haters in the GOP

n/t

[The Wizard]

20. McHenry

may have some secrets that will compromise him for Putin's benefit. Did Putin pick McHenry ?

[niyad]

21. hmmmmm

[wnylib]

35. Either Putin or his orange puppet.

[bigtree]

22. UPDATE: Rep. Pelosi statement:

[Hugin]

25. K&R for Rep Pelsoi's gracious statement...

She was much more civil than I'd be in a similar situation.

[BigmanPigman]

23. I just played this song 5 times in a row.....

And it still isn't enough to alleviate the anger I feel.

[Hugin]

24. Pettiness runs deep in these sorts...

I put up with similar for years.

If I were Rep Pelosi and the rest of the Democrats I'd push back that McHenry is just "Acting" and doesn't have the full powers of an elected Speaker.

[ananda]

26. It was alwasy going to get worse.

But, am I crazy, I see this as a bonus win
for Democrats.

People need to see exactly how bad
Republicans actually are and then...

vote them out.

[Emile]

27. Republicans are pathetic partisan idiots.

[littlemissmartypants]

28. Haughtiness goeth before a fall.

He's a nazi, klansman prig. I can't wait to see him permanently ruined.

He's been prancing through his government assignments long enough.

I look forward to seeing ALL of the skeletons in his closet.

[dchill]

30. A perfectly typical pitiful shit.

[Randomthought]

31. Bad Karma

Karma always comes back around

[rhiannon55]

36. I love how Nancy so graciously burned him

She is such a classy badass!

And that fucker is only a temp and he immediately starts throwing his weight around. Disgusting pig.

I hate republicans!!!!!

[ancianita]

37. After him and their self dealing raise, it's all downhill from here. For them, not us.

As usual, we Dems will think circles around their P01135809 politics, and congressional dems will be telling the folks back home some horror stories over the next few holidays that will prove that things are even worse than media say.

One good thing from the near panic govt employees in Virginia felt, is that Virginia is going to go blue this time. Virginia's military contractor and intel populations have had enough with useless high school dumbfuckery.

Another good thing -- the military is going to listen to its now outspoken retired generals and vote blue this time.

There are over 400 never trumpers out there to spread the word about our current national security threat -- many in red states -- and enough pissed off Gen Z voters to get us past the gerrymander gains and voter roll purges these know-nothings think they'll beat us with.

Another good thing -- the 7,000,000 MORE who voted for Biden over Trump are still out there.

The worst things we have to worry about -- funding fights, cyber attacks, and potential civil war.

But we're prepared because Joe Biden, the military, and the whole of the DOJ are prepared.

38. Dennis Hastert served prison time in a child sex abuse scandal

which is an early example of GOP projection over "save the children" type nonsense. GOP has a long deplorable record of dick moves.

[GuppyGal]

40. To be on the same level I guess Nancy would have to throw a spit ball at this douche

HEAVY on the spit ***INSERT MIDDLE FINGER EMOJI HERE *** FUCK YOU PUKES

[raccoon]

41. These dipshits are trying to out-dick the SS. Schutzstaffel, not Secret Service.
