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.
Shock value and controversy sell clicks/views/engagement. It’s all any media does anymore and it’s annoying as crap.
It’s why the news treats a man tripping on a sand bag with the same importance as someone trying to start world war III.
This is what happens when your incentive structure doesn’t reward actual proper journalism.
