McHenry ordered Pelosi to leave her Capitol hideaway office by Wednesday

[Mr. Sparkle]

As one of his first acts as the acting speaker, Rep. Patrick McHenry ordered former Speaker Nancy Pelosi to vacate her Capitol hideaway office by Wednesday, according to an email sent to her office viewed by POLITICO. “Please vacate the space tomorrow, the room will be re-keyed,” wrote a top aide on the Republican-controlled House Administration Committee. The room was being reassigned by the acting speaker “for speaker office use,” the email said. McHenry, a close McCarthy ally, was first on his list to become acting speaker after the Californian was booted in a Tuesday afternoon vote.

Only a select few House lawmakers get hideaway offices in the Capitol, compared to their commonplace presence in the Senate. The former speaker blasted the eviction in a statement as “a sharp departure from tradition,” adding that she had given former Speaker Dennis Hastert “a significantly larger suite of offices for as long as he wished” during her tenure.

Pelosi had missed the vote to boot McCarthy to stay in San Francisco to attend memorial services for the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a longtime friend of the former speaker. “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,” she said

1. At least hes petty

[TheBlackAdder]

86. In the MAGA world, that gets him 10 extra bonus points, esp. when it's Pelosi who is the target.

.

Of course, like all chicken shits, he has to do it while she is away attending a funeral service.

.

[JohnSJ]

2. What a jackass mchenry

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

21. That's a feature not a bug as far as the GOP is concerned.

[LoisB]

3. What a punk move.

[jimfields33]

10. If he's doing this, he's going to be a nightmare.

Never thought it could be worse than McCarthy. Wow. I was extremely wrong.

[Rebl2]

36. Well I

figured it could be worse than McCarthy, and guess I was right. Better to stick with the devil you know, than the devil you don’t know.

[jimfields33]

41. So true. Weird part is I don't understand McCarthy when he bashed the

Democratic house this past weekend. He definitely would have done a bill for Ukraine. I’m pretty sure of that. If he just kept his mouth shut, he’d be speaker still. I know he said the ridiculous statement about democratic house members to appease the wacko MAGA’s, but it was a stupid overall strategy. Now we’re stuck with this jerk whose first decision is to kick speaker pelosi out of her other office. We’re in for hell! I highly doubt Ukraine gets funding now. So mad.

[LoisB]

61. I don't think McCarthy is the sharpest tool in the shed but that was dumb even for him.

We have got to take back the House in 2024. I don't anticipate anything getting done legislatively between now and then.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

63. Yep

It's all over. Hopeless. Might as well pack it in.



Come on! Oooooh! He kicked Nancy Pelosi out of her office while she's safely hundreds of miles away! That's hell? That's a punk coward suck up useless move by a punk coward. Jeesh!

[LoisB]

64. I thought of McCarthy as a feckless liar but this guy exudes petty nastiness.

[soldierant]

81. It can ALWAYS get worse

It could get worse than McConnell.

It could get worse - far worse - than Roberts.

It could even get worse than Trump** was.

Never, never, never think things could not possiblly be worse. That's just asking for trouble.

[ShazzieB]

98. You're absolutely right..

I stopped thinking "It can't get any worse" early in the Trump administration. VERY early, in fact.

This guy does sound like a right wanker, but wankers are a dime a dozen the House GOP Caucus right now.

[Cha]

106. ESACTLY.. Never think it can't get Worse

because it Always CAN.

[agingdem]

95. they are all assholes in their own way...

and you weren't wrong...McHenry has no intentions of give up the speakership...he has to prove his MAGA gutter scum creds to get the votes he needs to succeed McCarthy..and what better way then to go after Pelosi...I'm looking forward to Hakeem Jeffries and his caucus making life miserable for the new GOP asshole...they know McHenry is a putz...

[Cha]

102. I think beyond punk.. It's Vicious and

a DespicableAsshole Order.

And, I hope he gets Backfire Backlash in Many Ways Possible.

[NoMoreRepugs]

4. Never heard of McHenry - but he is obviously a DICK.

[yardwork]

29. I live in North Carolina. He's as bad as you can imagine.

[BComplex]

99. I'm in North Carolina, too, and yep. He's as bad as they get.

Men in North Carolina can be really catty. (With apologies to cats!)

[yardwork]

112. There is a particular type of southern white man...

I say that as a native Ohioan. The Midwest has particular toes, too.

[BComplex]

114. There is indeed...

and that particular type of southern white man is mean to the bone, talking gentlemanly and smiling. You can see it in their eyes. Pope is one of those, and so is Berger.

[FalloutShelter]

5. Jeebus Rice I hate these

Mother F%#@ers!

[RandySF]

6. I never realized that closet case was such an asshole.

[CurtEastPoint]

7. This face deserves...in this order...spit, pie and and multiple slaps. Smug GD MFSOB.

[littlemissmartypants]

20. I knew when he hit his first gavel we were in for a bumpy ride. He almost broke

The F N dais. He raised it high and hit it super hard. It was really loud.

Quite the power move, he probably thinks. Assh*le.

[CurtEastPoint]

31. tiny dick

[Mr. Evil]

94. Small dick energy.

Definitely suffers from Smallcox.

[Celerity]

104. Lolol

smallcox



tiny todger

[Mr. Evil]

108. Ha hah!

dinky dodger

[MorbidButterflyTat]

66. I saw that gavel whack

It looked like to me, he almost missed the thing. Oh it was loud. Are MAGAts ever anything but loud? Are we supposed to be intimidated by that?

A bumpy ride? NO. I trust our Dem House leadership.

[niyad]

44. Backpfeifengesicht. I nearly lost my lunch.

[peppertree]

62. Und Schweinhund!

That nasty little runt - and his bow-tie - are walking punch lines. Probably a closet case, too.

In that sense, I'm glad Kevin picked him - and hope they keep him on, to embarrass themselves all the way to the next election.

[niyad]

65. And it is probably a clip-on!

[peppertree]

72. Ha!

Like a little kid! (a really bratty one)

[MorbidButterflyTat]

68. +1

[peppertree]

75. Danke

It is what it is.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

80. Mwah!

[peppertree]

84. Right back at ya!

[japple]

49. Why oh why did I have to see this as little Ralphie from the Christmas Story all

grown up into a dick head?

[BigmanPigman]

54. Poster boy for the hated filled white men

he represents. He has the face that probably got punched a lot while growing up for being a prick.

[niyad]

58. That asshole is only 47? A reverse dorian gray?

[peppertree]

67. Rotten natal chart

Saturn in a t-square with Sun/Uranus and that evil little asteroid, Chiron.

Misfortune and insecurities galore - mitigated somewhat by a favorable Moon in Tauru$ (and trine Venus).

Probably a crook, too. He's done very well, given that natal chart - I'll give him that.

[niyad]

76. Thank you. That is most illuminating, and helpful. There is much work

to be done.

[peppertree]

82. You're very welcome

Having been burdened by a pretty rotten one myself (Saturn rising, in a dreaded grand cross), in a way I feel bad for him.

But it doesn't entitle him to be such a nasty little Napoleon.

What he just did to Nancy Pelosi is incredibly shameful - if he had any shame.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

71. I wonder what

the picture looks like....?

47!

[Bluethroughu]

78. Turd dressed in silk is still

A turd.

[Cha]

103. Oh shit that slimey smirk stanin wears a bow tie, , too

Link to tweet

Fucking asshole is just begging to be taken down.

[littlemissmartypants]

8. McHenry is a verified assh*le and Sam Irvine is rolling over in his grave..

On behalf of North Carolina, I'm sorry Madame Speaker.

[paleotn]

9. Those of us who are either from or lived in NC for a number of years

know exactly what a vile piece of shit McHenry is. Not surprised at this one bit. Rumer has been for years he has much in common with Lindsey Graham. Just saying.

[littlemissmartypants]

24. No doubt. I'm sick.

[paleotn]

32. I feel for you.

Mark Meadows was once my congressman.

[littlemissmartypants]

34. Oh dear...

I'm so sorry.

[not fooled]

50. Hold my beer--Paul Gosar

is my congressdick. Thank dog I'm getting out of this dumbass area next month. That will be a happy day other than that I will lose the ability to cancel out the vote of one of the mouthbreather white supremacists (rife around here) who votes for him.

[niyad]

69. Just think how many of them will have died from covid, etc, before the

next election.

[rubbersole]

93. Hold my keg...

Ron desantis. 6th district. Florida. Absent rep, absent governor. Vile, evil, stupid and thinks he is the 8th day gift from god. (Google 8th day ad desantis.) Fucking insane.

[Traildogbob]

89. Followed by Cawthorn,

And his Replacement is also a prick. Pushing a bill to give DOD huge mountain tracts of land to train military. Gerrymandering installing crooks at its best.

[bucolic_frolic]

11. Low class AH

Totally lacking in decorum. Someone to really despise.

[rurallib]

12. Gotta prove his manhood by kicking women and children

It's the MAGA way.

[calimary]

59. If he has to work that hard to prove it, then his "manhood" must not be much to begin with.

Maybe it's so small he can't find it? Try squinting, dude.

HEY!!!!!! Might make a good nickname for him! Bowtie Boy doesn't seem insulting enough.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

73. While she is

on the other side of the continent!

[mackdaddy]

13. So is that one person call to oust the speaker still in effect?

Would seem to me a democrat could call for a vote to at least screw with this new guy if he wants to be petty.

And if the Democrats voted against him, could he survive the vote?

[honest.abe]

17. That may be our best move now.

Its going to be chaos for quite awhile now.

[Drum]

18. Lol, I love that optimistic question!

[JohnSJ]

19. He is temporary until a new speaker is selected

[littlemissmartypants]

25. If one is. We're in uncharted waters.

[LeftInTX]

101. This happened to the last guy...What's his name from WI

The guy who ran with Romney

Oops...thought they also ousted Paul Ryan, but he made it through his term .

[littlemissmartypants]

35. This is a delicious thought.

[underpants]

14. Fucking Dick

[mcar]

15. Fck this guy

[Mr.Bill]

16. What is it Pelosi's daughter said about her?

Something about her ability to rip your head off before you know you are bleeding?

This punk doesn't know who he is fucking with.

[Blue Owl]

107. I'd like to see that head rolling with the bow tie still attached

[herding cats]

22. He seems charming.

I sure hope he doesn't end up needing anything from the Democratic side of the aisle, because this assures he won't get it.

[littlemissmartypants]

30. Exactly. Racking up brownie points isn't the only thing lost on this cretin.

Apologies to medically diagnosed cretins.

[not fooled]

53. And didn't he see what just happened to McCarthy?

after the late Speaker blew it with the Dems.

Geez, these people...

[Eliot Rosewater]

23. Vile pig. Good thing for you fucking cons that most libs arent like me.

[FlyingPiggy]

26. Pox on you McHenry. I believe in karma and that bastard will get his.

[riversedge]

27. whow. I now have a memory of who and what kind of person McHency is-and I do not like it.

[central scrutinizer]

28. Top priority - own the libs

It’s not like there are important issues facing the country

[FelineOverlord]

33. Yes.

Hakeem Jeffries's staff helped.

[littlemissmartypants]

37. Thanks for sharing this. ❤️

[Hermit-The-Prog]

40. Democrats are deliberately decent. Republicans are deliberately repulsive.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

79. I hope they leave a big nasty turd hidden in the air vent

"Ordered." I wonder who is being quoted here. "I hereby order you..." from hundreds of miles away.

[Retrograde]

38. Winning friends, Pat?

and I'm sure you're influencing people - just not in the way you think

[MOMFUDSKI]

39. That would be Pelosi's polite way of saying

Go Eff Yourself- I will do it when I am damn good and ready. Lol

[jimfields33]

42. Too late. Staffers are taking stuff out of the office. So horrible to do to

someone whose given so much to congress. Sad evening.

[niyad]

47. Did you miss the part about rekeying her office?

[spanone]

43. A typical lying, hateful republicon...nice gesture, asshole.

...and FUCK HIM.

[alittlelark]

45. A very small move by a very small man. N/t

[crickets]

96. Well put. Thank goodness he will be hilariously overbanging the gavel for only a small time. nt

[Stinky The Clown]

46. He needs to look up so he can see whale shit

Petty little motherfucker

[Joinfortmill]

48. Another dick.

[Skittles]

51. abssolutely disgusting behavior

but...pretty much what we have come to expect from the GOP

[Pas-de-Calais]

52. Little man syndrome

55. Fucking asshole has been temp speaker for what...6 seconds?

[Major Nikon]

56. What goes around, comes around

Fucker will find himself in the basement next to the boiler soon enough.

[niyad]

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

[MorbidButterflyTat]

83. +1

[Marthe48]

60. what a complete ass

we see what we have, and as the decline and fall of the U.S. House continues, his successor will be worse, and the next worse, and so on, until rwnj presence is intolerable behind the podium, on the floor, in the building.

[In It to Win It]

70. I'm sure he been wanting to do that for a LOONNNGGG time.

[Takket]

74. next time there is a Democrat as speaker.......

The GOP should get dumpsters for offices.

Disgraceful behavior.

[MLAA]

77. Asshole.

[barbtries]

85. jeezus

i hate republicans. they are such fucking assholes. so bad.

[Marthe48]

87. His action doesn't make him more of a man

and it sure doesn't make Madame Speaker any less than the larger than life human being she was, is and will be, forever. He is such a mealy worm, he can't diminish her stellar character and accomplishments.

I know Madame Speaker won't engage in a pissing contest, so the ass from nc lost much more than he gained by his petty little dribble. But from today, he is the scrapings off America's heel. F**k him.

[malaise]

88. No fucking class or decency

Ah well.

[ALBliberal]

90. POS. That is all.

[Aussie105]

91. Fox will have a field day!

There will be talk of 'strong leadership', 'just what the county needs now', etc.

Hopefully the locksmith will put the job on hold until there is an order from a 'real' replacement for McCarthy, not an acting one.

Republicans play childish games. Not unexpected. It's a feature, not a fault. So they think.

[flashman13]

92. Do you think the asshole will toss Pelosi's "belongings" in the hallway tomorrow?

[tavernier]

97. Oh boy, another bully.

Did these little cultists have any trace of human kindness before their weak little brains were taken over by the head porker, or were they always rude and snarly? Hard to imagine running for public office without at least a trace of empathy for the people they would be serving.

[liberal N proud]

100. We now have 10 year old children running Congress

Grade school bullying

[lpbk2713]

105. Are they smarter than a 5th grader?

Hell no.

[live love laugh]

109. Just the beginning of their nastiness. My worst fears coming true already.

[eShirl]

110. Why such short notice? Just to be a dick about it?

Oh wait, this is Republicans we're talking about. Being a dick about everything is the only thing they're any good at.

[Shrek]

111. This is retribution

McCarthy claims that Pelosi promised to have his back if they tried a Motion to Vacate.

He feels betrayed.

[Jrose]

113. McHenry's first and lasting impression:

Bang the gavel loudly and carry a small dick.
