Truly the most important thing the interim House speaker should be focusing on right now - petty bullshit while someone is mourning a colleague. /s

Pelosi added in her statement that the “eviction is a sharp departure from tradition,” saying: “As Speaker, I gave former Speaker Hastert a significantly larger suite of offices for as long as he wished.”

For those who don't know, Haster is a pedo that got sent to jail

And he resigned within a year of losing speaker, either Pelosi is exaggerating how similar these situations are, or she let him keep an office in the capital despite not holding office. Even if he kept it up till he resigned, he resigned in early November.

Pelosi even gave a little speech about how awesome this scumbag was when he resigned.
