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.

If she was tearing things up devoid of truth, she should have ripped her own tongue in half.
Trump’s State of the Union address is forever.
Did you really expect decorum, protocol or respect from Pelosi after everything you’ve seen on this sham impeachment from the dems? Seriously?
Nancy RUSH will be honored FOREVER. Can anyone remember who Obama gave the medal to.
The short answer is yes. I don’t agree with the moral equivalency of failing to shake someone’s hand after that person did not use the language dictated by precedent to introduce the President justifies the tearing up of his speech that was an official document to the entire House. Pelosi went way beyond what is acceptable. She should be censured.
Oh good Lord. Ridiculous. Let's tie everybody up again because feelings were hurt. Oh boo-hoo....cripes...get over it.

She is the poster child of tardive dyskensia:
Antipsychotic medications that can cause tardive dyskinesia include antipsychotics like:
Haloperidol (Haldol)
Fluphenazine.
Risperidone (Risperdal)
Olanzapine (Zyprexa) Dec 17, 2019
These drugs are heavy duty antipsychotic drugs not minor tranquilizers.
He didnt shake Pences hand either. He just handed them their copies of the speech and then turned to the podium - I dont think he even saw Nancys hand. Pence didnt hold out his hand, so its probably not protocol.
It wasn’t a hand shake time.She just did that in hopes
it would make Trump look nasty. She is the nasty one
He had observed that students who used factual information--statistics, polls and stuff that can be counted--were more often than not liberals.
Conservatives, on the other hand, would rely on emotion, symbols, strong religious beliefs and writings of dead white men (although he used a different term), and usually shunned statistics.
It wasn't true then, and for sure it's not now.
Just look at the symbolism on display last night among the most prominent Democrats in the United States Congress, with the women attired in their mock-priestess garb and soon-to-be-ex-Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripping in half all five copies of the text of the President's State of the Union speech.
President Trump did not shy away from reciting (in round numbers) all the gains in employment, income, industrial output, exports, etc., achieved during his first three years in the White House. Emotional? Yes, if it brings a smile to your face and it did to mine. We can expect the WaPo and other media will call it all a bunch of lies, but what can we expect from them?
Emotional tirades, videos of starving (illegal) immigrants and symbols such as uniforms, caps, masks, and extended middle fingers are now wholly and almost exclusively in the toolbox of Democrats and their fellow travelers.
Has nothing to do with feelings. She destroyed an official document.
Who is running against Nancy? Does anybody know anything about that candidate?
Bill Cosby
No one, that we have heard about.
That may change.
