When Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced her retirement from congressional leadership, the House chamber was packed with Democratic lawmakers in anticipation of the announcement. The Republican side of the chamber was largely empty.

Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York, the third-ranked member of the caucus, who has described herself as an"ultra-MAGA" Republican, had nothing positive to say about Pelosi after her announcement.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who has served in the Senate for 40 years throughout Pelosi’s tenure, said Thursday, “I’m sure it’s a personal choice, and everybody’s entitled to their personal choice.” While Democrats quickly flooded Twitter with lengthy, heartfelt statements praising her kindness and leadership, Republicans remained largely silent about Pelosi on social media.

Classlessness

She can't retire she's the biggest advocate we have what a loss

Wasn't it nice of her before they made her step down

Vapid, corrupt,swamp creature retires and the opposition is supposed to care?

Why the hell would they show up? The woman ripped up Trump’s State of the Union address in front of Congress and the entire world. She’s classless and deserves nothing from Rs. Nothing.

As if there was any doubt left many house republicans aren’t mature enough to understand people versus political beliefs…

Zero Respect by Republicans. I don’t think God is happy about this.

Referring to your news statement about Pelosi addressing Congress on her departure and repubs not showing up. What point are you trying to make with that snarky statement. Could it be possible the repubs were busy trying to undo some of the mess we are in now?

They can't be to happy after the midterm, Paul Pelosi like pounding.

The republicans are disgusting excuses for humans. There's a special place in hell for McCarthy, his family and friends and the rest of the Republican party.

Republicans have lost all civility. When Trump made it ok to skip out on his predecessor’s inauguration, he opened the door to disgraceful public behavior.

As it should be. What's your point?

Should have been completely empty.. she should be in jail with her husband's boyfriend

LindaLawrey I guess that showed her.

A powerful woman hated by a bunch of old white guys! She was the G.O.A.T! Thank you SpeakerPelosi

People all over the world who believe in freedom, justice, democracy, and oppose dictatorship should oppose leftist totalitarianism. They use the banner of freedom to cancel culture, incite young people, and hate the world

Great day for America!

The Republican chamber has always been empty

Not surprising, they’re all a bunch of losers.

Because she’s a partisan hack.

Why should it be full?she impeached a Republican President,twice

Of course! Because Republicans are disgusting people.

Why would you show up for this Partisan hack?

MAGA is ugly and sickening and something only trump could inspire

considering she is 82 years old she recognizes it's time to hand the reigns to a younger generation of Democrats in the House and is bowing out graciously and with dignity

She’s a nasty woman

Republicans must be centered in every single story about Democrats no matter what.

Buh bye! 🤣

The Republican Party has been largely empty for some time now.

Because they didn’t want to interfere with the other employees comforting their FIRED friend.

God Bless Democratic Party for Fighting Freedom and Truth.

Qevin will be the first to cry when Democrats return the favor for him.

She is the best! Repugblicans cannot and will ever change this! As they don’t have and will ever have a Nancy Pelosi!

All I care about is that RepJeffries DNC CoriBush JamaalBowmanNY USProgressives TheBlackCaucus PressSec POTUS VP FLOTUS rolandsmartin 1. PAY REPARATIONS TO FBA ONLY like their PAYING 🇺🇦NAZIS 2. Black ONLY Hate Crime Bill 3. IMPLEMET icecube CWA

Her congress has a 17% approval rating. Doesn't that make the media's presentation of her as being well-loved seem like propaganda?

You wanted them to attend a self-serving speech from someone who isn't even leaving Congress? Where's the story here?

POTUS VP NAACP CivilRights TheBlackCaucus Repair the damages this country has inflicted and still is inflicting upon Black people for centuries! Give us what you owe: Reparations! No justice no peace! BlackLivesMatter

She made tens of millions from insider trading, she'll be ok.

She ripped up a sitting President's speech. Why would anyone pay her respect. It is a shame an illegal in California attacked her husband, but she is still classless. Good Riddance

Nancy, do not hand McCarthy the gavel. Just leave it in the ground. Do not shake his hand. I beg you. Do not validate their vile behavior.

Childish on the Republican’s behalf.

Big shock.

The lady with pro Islamists bias in a progressive democracy.

Encause she’s a complete disgrace to the seat and doesn’t deserve their recognition. We all know why she bailed.

Turkey's attacks on the Kurds were carried out with the approval of the United States. The Western states have once again betrayed the Kurds who are fighting against ISIS. The Kurds are currently under heavy bombardment and the world is just a spectator. Syria SDF NATO

I wished McCarthy had showed and tore her speech papers afterwards.

McCarthy is garbage. Has no dignity nor respect.

EP-96: Nancy Pelosi Is No Longer Speaker Of The House! Ding! Dong! The Witch Is Dead!

See ya! The leader of the party of hate.

No class whatsoever.

Turn about is fair play

Steny Hoyer was noticeably absent as well. Not going to mention that are you? Inconvenient to the dems all love each other narrative.

Only because they're totally spineless.

Bc they’re crass pieces of crap. They’ll be more upset when Putin retires

RepKatiePorter for leader

Doubt very much he was missed. GOPLeader a bully that only deserves contempt

Republicans have no class and aren’t in it for America, they are in it for themselves!

They are a spiteful bunch those repubs

Childish

How much money did her family grift? Media swoons

Someone as divisive as she has been doesn't deserve the respect. Glad to see the people fired her.

No one respects a Speaker of the House who doesn’t respect the Presidency of the United States as when Pelosi ripped up President Trumps State of the Union speech in front of a televised event! Nancy’s more important! Hey Nancy! Don’t let the door smack your ass on the way out!

She ripped up a presidents state of the union address live on national tv….save all your selective outrage would you

She’s a pox on our country. Done more damage to our congress than anyone in history. Here come the investigations Nancy. LockHerUp

Who cares? The gop are a drag.
