“McHenry sent Pelosi literally packing with an order for her to vacate her private office space in the Capitol.”
(George C Upper III – The Western Journal) The new Republican leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives appeared to be taking revenge against Democratic House members for their votes to remove the Republican speaker of the House Tuesday.
Republican Rep. Patrick McHenry of North Carolina, hand-picked by former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to serve as speaker pro tempore (essentially the same as an acting speaker), has begun kicking prominent Democrats out of their Capitol office spaces.
The move comes after Florida’s Matt Gaetz and seven other Republicans allied themselves with a unanimous Democratic caucus to remove the California Republican as speaker.
