Pelosi says interim House speaker McHenry has ordered her to vacate her office in the Capitol building - Lemmy.world

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.

A better headline would be what she said in response:

“Office space doesn’t matter to me, but it seems to be important to them,” she said. “Now that the new Republican Leadership has settled this important matter, let’s hope they get to work on what’s truly important for the American people.”

Dems have shown demonstrated absurdly good communication skills, but somehow, it’s never really shown given proper attention. Like, seriously, just watch this clip show of young Dems destroying Republicans last week: youtu.be/v6VZIjBLcyU?si=H9TuL2aRF9PM0vpY

Dems are fucking fierce, man.

Edit: Reworded a sentence to make it more clear.

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

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).
