House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) characterized President Trump's State-of-the-Union speech as "a manifesto of lies and misrepresentations" and tore it to shreds as most of the audience loudly applauded his remarks.
Her first complaint alleged that "he refused to shake my hand. That's how demeaning he is to those he disagrees with." As it so happens, Trump didn't shake hands with Vice-President Mike Pence either before he stood at the podium to speak.
Pelosi also found fault with Trump's invited guests. "Who is he to presume to honor the last surviving Tuskegee airman?" she demanded to know. "The Tuskegee airmen were all black men. Black votes are the property of the Democratic Party and have been since the Roosevelt Administration. Trump only invited this old black man to try to steal black votes away from us."
"And the insufferable surviving family members a couple of individuals—one killed by a terrorist and another by an undocumented immigrant—these aren't important people," she insisted. "They just served as props for Trump's animus toward foreigners. Only a tiny percentage of Americans are killed by foreigners. Even if every one of these victims had been spared by a more vigorous effort against these types of crimes it would not be statistically significant."
"Neither can I see the point in celebrating the survival of a baby born prematurely," Pelosi observed. "She is one person who lived. Far more of a similar age in the womb are aborted each year. To use this now healthy and happy young child as evidence for why restricting abortions would be a good policy is hitting below the belt."
"In sum, it was a totally shameful performance designed to convince the American people that things are going well," she concluded. "Clearly, they are not going well. An obviously guilty abuser of power was acquitted by the Senate. This miscarriage of justice will have repercussions that will haunt our nation for generations to come."
