Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA) called on current House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to be censured for ripping up a copy of President Donald Trumps State of the Union address on Tuesday evening.
As Speaker of the House for four State of the Unions by a President of the other party I am disgusted and insulted by the viciously partisan action of Nancy Pelosi tearing up the speech, Gingrich wrote. She isnt clever or cute her childishness insults our American traditions -should be censured.
Pelosi made the spectacle of tearing up the speech at the conclusion of the presidents remarks as he received applause from lawmakers. In addition to tearing up his speech, the speaker snubbed the president by introducing him into the House chamber as the The President of the United States. It is customary for the speaker to welcome the president with the language: I have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the President of the United States. Following the slight, the president appeared to snub an attempt by the speaker to shake his hand.

You can tear up the speech dingbat but America has already heard the words.
Each congressional house is responsible for disciplining its members. So anything done to spank Miss Lube Rack will have to be done by the House (the HOR). The Senate could bloviate its displeasure but it would be the equivalent the Senate congratulating the nation’s butterfly collectors for a job well done. Nice but who cares? The House would ignore. If the House turns over in 2020, and she is still in her seat then its possible the House could discipline her but unlikely.
Great tag line.
This was like a spoiled college student ripping up a test in front of the professor because they failed the test.Polosi was giving the middle finger to America not Trump she hates the voters most of all.
What a phenomenal speech! We are so lucky to have an extraordinarily wise, strong, honest, and patriotic man as our president at the exact time our country needs him the most.
I’m sure.
No doubt she should be censured, but who will do it, nutzo Schiff, loser Nadler?
When the Dems are literally destroying any chance of attracting support over the past days and weeks, give them more rope.
They spend ALL their time on hateful destructive actions, not a second on helping America.
lgjhn23 post worth repeating:
....What Pelosi did was tacky as hell....
Yep...not to mention illegal as hell too. That was an official, Constitutionally-mandated government document. It was not hers to destroy. That was the House of the Peoples original copy required by law. $2000 fine and/or 3-years in a federal slammer for doing that. The vile, demonic Botoxian should be arrested and locked up.
I am the only one thinking that this story is superseding the President’s greatest SOTU?
Let’s stop bumping and promoting Pelosi’s juvenile stunt!
She wasn't 'triggered' by anything. It was all planned in advance. She held the torn papers up and looked at her KKK women as if so say, "SEE, I DID IT".
BTW, the Father of the dead school child who yelled out "YOU LIE" was planned too. The Dems planned it as payback for when that guy yelled YOU LIE at Obama. The DEMS never come up with anything original. They are like Hollywood Writers who can only come up with SEQUELS to old movies.
