Matt Gaetz claims 'there will be an ethics investigation' into Pelosi for Tearing Trump speech
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | 2/5/20 | Zachary Halaschak

Rep. Matt Gaetz said he will be working to get an investigation going into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi because she tore up a copy of President Trump’s State of the Union address.

“I will be filing charges against Nancy Pelosi in the House Ethics Committee,” the Florida Republican told Laura Ingraham on Fox News. “She disgraced the House of Representatives, she embarrassed our country, and she destroyed official records."

“The law does not allow the speaker of the House to destroy the records of the House, and the rules of the House do not permit some little temper tantrum just because you don’t like what the president of the United States says,” he added, noting that he would be working with Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin of New York to penalize the speaker.

Gaetz said Republicans are “sick of the double standard” and pointed out Democratic anger when Republican Rep. Joe Wilson shouted, “You lie!” to President Barack Obama during a speech to a joint session of Congress.

“We ought to apply the same standards to the Democrats that they want to apply to us, and there will be an ethics investigation of Nancy Pelosi, and we will start the ball rolling to have her censured, and the first act begins tomorrow,” he said.

(snip) -- GOP Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar, the congressman who represents Kayla Mueller's parents, said Wednesday he plans to introduce a resolution censuring Pelosi for the stunt.

“In a new low, she violated the Code of Official Conduct requiring members 'behave at all times in a manner that shall reflect creditably on the House,'” Gosar said.

I wonder if the glorious wench Pelosi was praying for The President as she methodically ripped her way into eternal infamy.

This may not go anywhere (after all the Democrats control the house), but.. I think it is good that they turned the tables on the Democrat and use the same tactics against.

File ethic violations, file lawsuits and just harass them as much as possible. In the various committees use the rules to slow and disrupt them as much as possible. It is not like they are going to present any legislation that is good for America.

There is a reason that the two political parties did not get into pissing contest with each...they are all dirty, and once investigations begin who knows who’s dirt is uncovered.

Nancy Pelosi ‘PRE-RIPPED’ PAGES of Trump’s SOTU speech, video shows

_______

(snip) ---- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi apparently made tiny tears into her copy of President Trump’s State of the Union address — so that her speech-ripping moment could go off without a hitch.

As Trump introduced cancer-stricken radio host Rush Limbaugh — who received the Medal of Freedom during the speech — Pelosi could be seen grabbing the pages off the table.

Video shows her making what seemed to be a tearing motion and then placing the pages back on the table.

Photos of the sheets of paper show them face down on the table with small slits on the side, near where Pelosi would eventually rip them into pieces.

Everybody is talking about the ripping part of her behavior, but what about the hour plus of silly antics during the speech? The fidgeting, the paper shuffling, and so on. She did not act like a grownup in good mental condition, and she is second in line for succession? That's scary.

Briefly put, is Nancy shuffling a full deck, or is it time for her to go to a special place for an extended rest?

The only way I could watch the State of the Union was to tape whatever I could find to the TV to block Pelosi's clown faces. It worked really nicely.

Right. She was a FREAKSHOW for well over an hour. I was just happy that she had gone through a metal detector beforehand.

Briefly put, she is waaaaaay overwrought with (dare we say) a Special Pelosi Catholic Hatred, and must quietly disappear!

House ethics investigations have always meant nothing.

A better investigation would be if Barr's Dept of Injustice got off it's keister and discovered how Nancy Pelosi came to vast wealth while a member of Congress.

Her net worth is advertised at $120 million, but there are many who estimate it is as high as $250 million, or even more.

In 1987, she started out on a salary of $77,400. As Speaker in 2020, her salary is $223,500.

The truth is, she made her hundreds of millions from bribes, kickbacks, and insider trading. She comes from a Baltimore crime family as well.

This is how most members of Congress become multi-millionaires in a short timespan.

She has funneled tens of millions of government dollars to her partner in crime husband Paul and her children.

Now THAT would be something worth investigating.

Right Bill?

I think Trump should be overly, mockingly kind to her.

She’s so unhinged at this point that it’s useless to
waste any decent vitriol at her expense.

Why? It’s just a stack of papers with no value.
They need to go after her for so many other things that do matter.

LOL.

You, B.J., might want to give that a little MORE THOUGHT.

Consider:

"Gaetz said Republicans are “sick of the double standard” and pointed out Democratic anger when Republican Rep. Joe Wilson shouted, “You lie!” to President Barack Obama during a speech to a joint session of Congress."

The incident resulted in a reprimand by the House of Representatives.

A waste of time. Just work hard to take back the House. That would be the best penalty for her and her flock of harpies.

She needs to resign!
When there was a shout from her pack of losers she had no problem expressing her dissatisfaction with a scowl and a stern pointing of her finger but the misbehaved, child like old witch made it her point when she tore up the speech on national television. Applauded by the scumedia and the left retards she is in good company.
