Nancy Pelosi throws a public temper tantrum and other Democrat misbehavior
American Thinker ^ | 02/05/2020 | Andrea Widburg

Two different events played out on the floor of the House on Tuesday night. The first was President Trump’s powerful, moving, uplifting, and optimistic State of the Union speech. The second was the immature, arrogant, intemperate, and really disgusting temper tantrum in which Democrats indulged.

The most obvious sign of a complete mental breakdown on the left was Nancy Pelosi’s conduct during the speech. Her petulant behavior could not be missed because she was seated behind the president, to his left. Whenever the camera was on Trump, it was on Pelosi too.

Pelosi's hissy fit first showed itself when Pelosi refused to give Trump the traditional formal introduction. Traditionally, Speakers of the House say that it is their “high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the President of the United States.” Pelosi, however, in grudging and rushed tones, simply said, ‘Members of Congress, the President of the United States.”

Things went downhill from there. When Trump handed copies of his speech to Vice President Pence and Pelosi, Pelosi extended her hand for a shake, but Trump did not extend his hand back. There’s much debate about whether it was an oversight on his part or an intentional insult. You can decide for yourself:

As Trump began to speak, Pelosi began to perform a running pantomime behind his back. Rather than listen to Trump's speech, she leafed through the written speech he gave her. She also wriggled around in her chair, sucked her dentures, made disdainful faces, waved to people in the crowd, and generally behaved like an angry 15-year-old girl whose parents have forced her to attend a formal event. It was painful to watch the person who is third in line to the presidency behave in such a childish, rude manner.

I forgive her - she’s a liberal woman, and can’t help herself.

I’m surprised she did not hold her breath and throw herself on the floor.

My wife generally doesn’t follow politics. And we watched the address together last night. Afterwards, she said to me “Wow. Pelosi just showed me everything I need to know about who she is”.

Is this the right spot for an “Islam is right about women” sign?

She thought she was insulting Trump by ripping up the speech. What she actually did was rip up her legacy as a leader.

It was preplanned. What she didn’t anticipate was how powerful and well delivered the speech would be. The curse continues.

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!

I had always heard of this kind of behavior expressed as “rude, crude, & socially unacceptable”.

“You’re the greatest fool I’ve ever known, Kane. If it was anybody else, I’d say what’s going to happen to you would be a lesson to you. Only you’re going to need more than one lesson. And you’re going to get more than one lesson.”

I would prefer he frame them with “ACQUITTED” in big red letters superimposed on them.

I hope 5 or 6 Dem senators vote to acquit and say we’ve had enough. I know it won’t happen but its my hope.

“I forgive her’
Well, I for one, do not! She is an embarrassment to the office. At a minimum she needs to be sanctioned.

They should call her Veruca Pelosi from now on.

She showed the entire world last night that she’s a bad egg.
