The acting Speaker of the House Patrick McHenry temporarily has the gavel and one of his first moves was to wave it to direct Nancy Pelosi out of an office she's occupied for a long time.
Pelosi's now angry with McHenry's refusal to allow her to claim squatter's rights, which gave her a chance to again demonstrate her trademark lack of self-awareness:
NBC confirms: Nancy Pelosi was ordered to move out of her office in the Capitol by Patrick McHenry after he became acting speaker.

Pelosi's response: "This eviction is a sharp departure from tradition … Office space doesn't matter to me, but it seems to be important to them."
Pelosi must not think that her ripping up a copy of Trump's State of the Union speech at the end of his address was a "sharp departure from tradition."
The lady who ripped up the President’s speech on live TV thinks the Republicans aren’t being classy. https://t.co/GPi0KXCHPb

Her response is important because, as we all know, Nancy Pelosi *is* the voice of tradition and decorum in the hallowed halls of Congress. 🤦 https://t.co/c4UcitROQk pic.twitter.com/LA1enDHMSD

Pelosi criticizing anybody else for being classless is as rich as it gets.
“This eviction is a sharp departure from tradition”

Pelosi impeached Trump twice
She removed Republicans from committees
She didn’t allow the GOP to pick Reps for J6 cmte
She forced masks and metal detectors
And McCarthy “preserved tradition” by allowing Pelosi to keep her hideaway office?!
Weak & corrupt https://t.co/g0JrnhvIHN
Another sharp departure from tradition: Ousting your own party's leaders with the full support of your ostensible opponents.

You want chaos? This is chaos. Enjoy. https://t.co/wn8GjGmzlb
Dem Rep. Steny Hoyer has also been ordered to hit the bricks:

Hopefully helping a few Republicans oust McCarthy was worth it to these Democrats.
