House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., apparently did not enjoy President Trump's State of the Union address, tearing her printed copy of the speech immediately as the president wrapped up his remarks Tuesday night.
When Fox News asked her afterwards why she did it, she responded: "Because it was the courteous thing to do considering the alternatives." She added: "I tore it up. I was trying to find one page with truth on it. I couldn't."
On the heels of an impeachment trial, which is expected to end in an acquittal in the Senate on Wednesday, tension was palpable between Pelosi and Trump. The president apparently "snubbed" the speaker when she tried to shake his hand as he handed printed copies of his address to her and to Vice President Mike Pence.
Pelosi occasionally shuffled the pages of the president's speech throughout his address. When he finished, she made her dramatic move.

Indeed.
She did not follow protocol. She did nit introduce Trump.
“Bi-Polarosi”.
She spit in the faces of half of America, more than half actually because many who don’t support Trump do respect the office and those special guests who were present.
She may as well have hiked up her white dress and showed her (no doubt) saggy old ass to the world.
Hate and disrespect will be her legacy.
Calls for resignation begin tomorrow...my prediction.
Intersperse clips the speech highlights of good things happening in America with repeated clip of her ripping up paper.
He didn't extend his hand, either. Look, I'm not gonna get in a twist over how Pelosi acted. I expected no more, no less, and she delivered.
It's symbolic of her wanting to divide the nation.

Pelosi is done.....toast, finished, cooked, garbage material.
I also take note that Democrap Senator Doug Jones of Alabama has indicated he will vote to impeach POTUS, Donald J. Trump. Well, while I do not agree with his choice...I understand he is being pragmatic...he knows he is a lame duck and will lose his Senate seat in November in the Trump Landslide victory...no matter what he does...So he opts to keep his record as a scum & vermin Democrap whole!!! Goodbye, Doug...no proflie in courage in that useless human being known as Doug Jones!!! GOP picks up his seat come November.
And....I predicted that Joe Biden would go nowhere on the day he opted to rum for POTUS in 2020 and I was dead right from day one. So...folks, read my lips the Democraps will lose 3-5 seats come November because they opted to impeach POTUS, Trump...who this afternoon, while be acquitted of all impeachment!!!
She is an interesting Catholic.
LOL! Hadn't thought about that, but you are RIGHT!
NASTY. OLD. BA-ZITCH.
It wasn’t HER copy to destroy. It belongs to the people’s House.
“check your stock portfolio and tell me how much better you could do running the country.”
This woman is an elitist. It does not matter what the stock market does. As with the Soviet economy, the elitists did not have to stand in bread lines, they had cars, good homes and the best of everything.
It’s pretty much proven that her type, being the obama type, do not want a good economy. obama himself remarked to the effect America’s greatness is gone, get used to it. And his policies did everything to make it happen. Nancy is no different.
The fact the the markets are doing well is a huge problem for the commies, for fewer people will be voting for their agenda.
Fortunately the good economy is not their worst problem. The impeachment and Iowa fiasco’s must occupy much of their attention right now. I suspect her rage over those fiascos had more to do with tearing up that document than the document’s contents.
What Pelosi did was awful but she just ensured that President Trump will get re-elected come November! Gotta love it how the liberals are kicking themselves in the butt, and don’t realize it.
Nancy, and her ‘Pouting,Pussy Posse’ only lacked white hoods !
