The former House speaker Nancy Pelosi lamented a “sharp departure from tradition”, after the Republican Patrick McHenry ejected her from her office while she was away for the funeral of a friend.
“With all of the important decisions that the new Republican leadership must address, which we are all eagerly awaiting, one of the first actions taken by the new speaker pro tempore was to order me to immediately vacate my office in the Capitol,” Pelosi said in a statement on Tuesday night.
