With chants, walkouts and a ripped-up speech, bitter partisanship dominates Trump’s State of the Union

**SNIP**

Republicans cheered divisive lines, some Democrats walked out while Trump spoke, and Pelosi punctuated the night by tearing up the president’s speech while standing over his left shoulder as he wrapped up his remarks.

**SNIP**

The Democrats, meanwhile, could barely contain their resentment.

When Trump urged lawmakers to send him a bill to lower prescription drug prices, promising he would “sign it into law without delay,” some Democrats leaped to their feet and, holding up three fingers, began chanting “H.R. 3! H.R. 3!” - a reference to a House-passed bill that would help do just that.

**SNIP**

Toward the end of the speech, Pelosi had Trump’s written remarks laid in front of her in four piles, and as he finished, she picked up each pile and ripped it in half.

Four rips.

“It was the courteous thing to do considering the alternative,” Pelosi told reporters as she exited the chamber and headed to her office.

She was really acting out her role as the spoiled brat. I enjoyed watching her react to his every point. You would have but at some point she would try to be civil but she was obviously in great pain hearing so much truth.

Trump says Nancy is “CRAZY”.

Nancy stands up in her White straight jacket in front of the world, including impressionable children who act more adult than she, and she rips a speech containing the names of people who died for our country and displays her craziness for all to see.

Do we trust our own eyes? YES, she’s crazy as a bat.

Nancy should do the honorable thing and step down. I not, House members should enter a resolution to request she step down and also call to censure her.

One word doesn’t describe her anti-American antics, she’s unhinged, disrespectful, disgusting, and yes, CRAZY.

They should have escorted her back to the funny farm.

Read the opinion and some of the comments.

It seems the the SOTU was divisive because it highlighted progress made on trade, the economy, etc. It was divisive because the USA should be a sanctuary for its citizen. It was divisive because unemployment is at its lowest for African Americans, Hispanics, Asians and women. Now that is diversity and that is divisive!!!!

The comments indicate that my fellow citizens live up to my moniker “DummycRATs”.

Hmmmm. Now that you mention it, I didn’t see here turn around.

I guess she was planning on mooning Trump, but had to settle for tearing up the SOTU speech like Hitler tearing up Chamberlain’s ‘Peace In Our Time” treaty...

The only display of unhinged bitterness, for all to witness, was from the Dems. Good luck attracting the Independent voters.

Keep Pelosi as the face of the Democrat party. Her legacy is now fixed. Failed impeachment and tearing up the speech.

Yup. The Dems always need a victim group to use for votes and entitlement spending.
