Trump takes on ‘radical left’ in defiant and dramatic State of the Union address; Pelosi rips up speech

President Trump went on the offensive against socialism and left-wing policies during a defiant third State of the Union address to Congress Tuesday night -- drawing groans from Democrats in attendance and prompting a furious House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to rip up her copy of Trump's speech as soon as it concluded in a remarkable scene.

Asked about the moment by Fox News afterward, Pelosi said she had destroyed the speech “because it was the courteous thing to do considering the alternatives.” She also said she was "trying to find one page with truth on it" but "couldn't."

The White House responded almost immediately by referencing several of the guests of honor whom Trump had introduced during the State of the Union address.

"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," the White House said in a tweet. "That's her legacy."

Trump fights.

The left wants Romney and Bush back.

She had already previously ripped up the Constitution when she falsely certified Obama as eligible, at least to Hawaii

Bush League Republicans are in league with the Democrats to turn the USA into North Mexico.

I suspect even if the President had shook her hand she had it all planned out to still tear up the SOTU address.

Dems are all about imagery, drama, outlandish schemes for the news media.

Petulant child. This will be a great meme for the next foreseeable future.

When Trump approached Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who initiated the failed effort to remove him from office, the president appeared to snub her offer of a handshake after he presented her a copy of the speech. At the end of the remarks, Pelosi made a show of ripping up the official copy of Trump’s address in an unprecedented fit of public pique. She also had bypassed the traditional announcement that it was her “high honor and distinct pleasure” to introduce the president prior to the speech.

Hey, Nancy and other elite snowflake liberals, no matter how much you cry, moan and bitch, Trump will still be your president today and tomorrow">

Your President for 2020 to 2024!

All through the speech Pelosi’s face looked like she had a pinched nerve must have been her brain trying to understand it.

Trump didn’t shake Pences hand either. It’s not protocol to shake their hands at this point so it would not be expected or anticipated. He was already turning towards the podium when she extended her claw so he most likely didn’t even see it anyway. There are other points to this as well like Pelosi not giving Trump the traditional introduction.

‘Trump is spiking the football in the Democrats’ end zone, doing back flips in front of their bench, and running up into the stands to make out with the opposing QB’s girlfriend’

[Archytekt]

do we know the timing of Trump’s speech today?

[sauropod]

Those were great

[Nateman]

Giving the highest honor to the most persistent enemy of the left right there on Nanzi’s turf in her face was more than she could take. Ha!

[Don Corleone]

Lets see if Bloomies ads can outshine the ones the Pubbies will run with petulant San Fran Nan. He hasn’t got enough money for that.

Thanks!

Please share with friends and liberals.

Pelosi shredded our Constitution, so why not his speech, too?

The D’rats’ behavior indicates something...
