Pelosi Rips Trump’s State of the Union Address


From The Daily Signal.com (Feb. 5):
Immediately after President Donald Trump finished his State of the Union address, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, standing behind him, tore his speech in half while the eyes of the nation watched.

In four separate motions Tuesday night as lawmakers applauded the president, Pelosi tore the pages of her copy of the speech in two.

“Speaker Pelosi just ripped up: One of our last surviving Tuskegee Airmen. The survival of a child born at 21 weeks. The mourning families of Rocky Jones and Kayla Mueller. A service member’s reunion with his family. That’s her legacy,” the White House tweeted.

Pelosi’s demonstration followed Trump’s ignoring her outstretched hand after giving her a copy of his speech as he arrived at the podium in the House chamber about an hour and a half earlier. The speaker, who led House Democrats in impeaching the president, grimaced at this. [read more]
I think her ripping of the speech was a petty and classless act. I also think it was staged for far-Left loonies of her party. She did it slowly and one page at a time. If she was really mad she would have done it quick and ripped all the pages at one time. She might have also ripped the pages again. Asked why she did it Pelosi said “it was the courteous thing to do considering the alternatives.” The alternatives? Hmmm. I think the secret service might want to investigate that remark because that sounds like a threat.

As for President Trump ignoring her outstretched hand, I am not sure he seen it because he was turning around already when she outstretched it. I am giving him the benefit of the doubt.
