House Speaker Nancy Pelosi concluded President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech by tearing up her copy and tossing it away, sparking outrage and the hashtag “#classless” to trend on Twitter.
Pelosi’s actions were an extreme breach of etiquette and clearly meant to disrespect the President of the United States.

This proves once again that Pelosi is completely controlled by extremists within her party and models her behavior after them. Despite this, Madam Speaker defended her actions.
When asked why she did it, Pelosi responded: “Because it was the courteous thing to do considering the alternatives. I tore it up. I was trying to find one page with truth on it. I couldn’t.”
Had a Republican done this to a Democrat president, they would have immediately been censured.

Absolute Disgrace
Perhaps Nancy thought she was holding a copy of the United States Constitution and she was simply doing what her party has done since the dawn of time – shredding it.
Whatever her reasons, Pelosi’s actions were one of the more disgraceful things we’ve ever seen at a State of the Union address. A difficult feat in an age where everything the resistance party does is disgraceful.
The backlash was swift, with trends being sparked by the House Speaker ranging from leftists pleased with her childish antics referring to her as ‘Madam Speaker’ and others disgusted and labeling her as ‘classless.’
Fox News personality Sean Hannity praised the President’s optimistic speech and railed against Pelosi for the stunt.
It was “one of the most classless things ever done in the history of the State of the Union,” Hannity claimed.

House Freedom Caucus member Mark Meadows (R-NC) added, “We saw Nancy Pelosi ripping up a speech just like Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi and others have been trying to rip apart America for the last three years.”
That’s not even hyperbole.

Nervous Nancy
If anything, Pelosi’s actions show that the top Democrat is clearly frustrated. The President just delivered an optimistic speech to the nation, will be acquitted by the Senate in his impeachment trial any day now, and has seen his approval rating surge.
Like a petulant child, Pelosi stomps her feet and literally shreds his speech in front of the nation.

“Trump’s best day of his presidency coincided with one of Democrats’ worst days,” Mollie Hemingway of the Federalist wrote. “And there was no way for either side to hide it.”
Added Townhall Editor Katie Pavlich, “The only thing Pelosi and dems have is her ripping up President Trump’s speech at the end.”
“Petty and pathetic,” she added. “Democrats are losing.”
If Nancy is this ‘petty and pathetic’ now, just imagine how she’s going to act when Trump wins re-election.

Agent Orange keeps pardoning convicted felons, no matter the charge. Seems if you a favor for Trump or his pedophile associates that if your caught breaking the constitution, or any law that would help Trump out, you just wait till he comes and pardons you, and all is forgiven. This isn’t the Republican party I remember, this is the new, improved America, where if you belong to his cult, Trump only charges you half the fee for a pardon, but you’ll owe The Klown Prince a favor, signed in a blood oath.
KING TRUMP HAS A NICE RING TO IT…. I AM AN OLD GUY,,, BEST PRES EVER….BEEN THRU A BUNCH…
I’m Canadian and Pelosi’s actions were pathetic. Wish we could have Trump in Canada…instead we get sock boy…oh look! He’s growing a beard to not appear as such a child…too bad it’s not working. TRUMP 2020!
For all of his flaws, you get the impression that Trump really wants Americans to be prosperous and satisfied. Pelosi would be happy to see us in another Great Depression if it would only make Trump look bad.
She should be removed as speaker of the house.
What a immature act tearing up his speech.
I was in shock while watching her do that behind the
president’s back.
Why can’t we tear her up and discard her?
Gee, no mention of Trump refusing to shake hands with Ms. Pelosi.
VERY RUDE.
SORE LOSER!!!!
“It isn’t that she’s “controlled by her Party/”
It’s that she is the “controller.” She and her Tribal cronies.
They used to say the Repubs had no gumption but it has since moved to the dems.
Nancy Poepelosi’s Bitter and sour Legacy has just been worsened by that action. She will go down in History as the BITTER, DESPICABLE House Leader of Democrats.
If her act has a prison sentence why not enforce it. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW, SO SHE SAYS.
“When asked why she did it, Pelosi responded: “Because it was the courteous thing to do considering the alternatives. I tore it up. I was trying to find one page with truth on it. I couldn’t.” WOW!! Self admission that she cannot read. Self admission that she does not understand English. Self admission that she has no empathy for the people. Self admission that she finds no joy in the blessings of others. Self admission that she is blind, deaf, and stupid.
Everyone talks racist and garbage yet it’s there own backyard that needs cleaned, dems are the problem and everyone that backs them. Now the Rep senators are being threatened by you guess it the dems because Trump was acquitted YEAH Nancy should be banded and removed for her conduct. I don’t care how is president they should have respect and anyone that acts like a 6 yr old should be seen as unstable and removed from office. GO TRUMP! Take no prisoners!
Imagine how she treats the servants in her big mansion (WITH a security/protection wall around it)….
When you are directly over the target, and you are winning, the flak becomes dense, but just like the WWII anti aircraft guns seldom hit their target only generating smoke and shrapnel, the speech tear is a futile gesture of pique
“If Nancy is this ‘petty and pathetic’ now, just imagine how she’s going to act when Trump wins re-election.”
Hopefully she will be doing it as a citizen not a representative living in the slum that her neighborhood has turned into
Pelosi acted like the typical Mafia wife who had been scorned. This is exactly why we can NOT elect a woman as President of our country. They can not control their emotions and conduct themselves properly. Hillary proves this every time she opens her mouth.
On September 15, 2009 the House approved a “resolution of disapproval” against Wilson, on 240–179 vote almost exactly along party lines for his outburst saying “YOU LIE” in Obama’s first SOTU address. Joe Wilson, SC (R) apologized to Obama. We know he lied, lies, and will lie, but Wilson apologized for yelling out.
Make no mistake. Pelosi is more inappropriate than Trump and far less ethical.
TRUMP LOOKED GROGGY SAID THE WALKING CORPSE
Looking forward to the absolute meltdown as he enjoys an overwhelming win no one can dispute, retaking the House and gaining seats in the Senate. There will be a massive Red wave in Nov 2020 and we have the Democrats to thank for it!
There is no law that can outdo Unconditional Love, the exalted Glory of God.
but was it??? just the speech she tore up. seemed other documents as well. did she even read any of them?
This act was Gross Misconduct, Fire Her Now.
Nancy Pelosi is a disgrace to this Country. President has tagged her “Nervous Nancy” , she should be called “Nasty Nancy”!!

they started the fight
they attacked the constitution
destroy them
tearing up her copy
not true, that was not her copy
it was the official copy for the house archives
she just destroyed a government document with several million witnesses
I sure hope that the people show up at the polls and show pelosi just what they think of her and the rest of the denirats what they think of how they conduct business for we the people.
Pelosi tore up a government document, that is against the law. I don’t know what the punishment is for that, but I believe that whatever it is should be applied.
Pelosi had planned to tear up the SOTU from the get go. Video proves it was all theatrics. She pre tore the pages to make sure that when Trump finished she would flawlessly complete her very visual drama. The point was to disrespect him from the start. She has no class in any sense of the word!!!
I just recently found out that Katie is NOT a Republican, but an Independent. That really surprised me! I still think she’s awesome, but I sure wish she would come over to the “right” side!
Pelosi , doing a federal offense in front of the entire nation just shows how much of soros-paid , subversive , America-destroying , NWO socialist agenda , organized crime criminals these dems & rinos truly are ! What have they done for America since Bush 41’s 1991 NWO speech ? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ! Just sucked away trillions of taxpayer funds ; some of it to back terrorist groups against America !
Can someone tell me at what moment Pelosi became the arbiter of truth? When did she become divine? Are people fully aware of what her claim is?
smelly old C—.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Adam Schiff, Senate leader Chuck Schumer, Rep. Jerry Nadler and Joe BIden, they all have “very bad mental problems so why in hell should we vote them back into power in the 2020 election to rule us”????? That is the number one question we should ask ourselves when we vote in the 2020 election”?????? You know what the answer should be folks??? We should not not vote for them or the cooked Democrats, period!!!!!!!
Thank you Nancy Pelosi! Your action have just shown the American public why they should NOT VOTE for Democrats!!!! Your inability to act like an adult shows that you have no business in running the affairs of the country, you lack the integrity and honesty to hold the Office which you currently occupy!
The best thing you could do for your party is RESIGN from Congress and at the same time include ADAM SCHIFF , Schumer and Nadler to the resignation group!
Powens SFC Ret.
It wasn’t Nancy’s copy, it belonged to the US House of Representatives and was an OFFICIAL document. House rules say it was NOT her’s to destroy. She needs to be held accountable for her asinine actions.
The demoncrapts have illustrates via pelosi @others have stomped on the Constitution & should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law !!!!!!!
I BET I KNOW WHAT THE DEMOCRAT DEEP STATE ALTERNATIVE REALLY IS…??? THE SAME ALTERNATIVE THEY USED ON J.F.K., BACK IN 1963, WHEN HE WAS GOING TO EXPOSE AGENDA 21 & THE NEW WORLD ORDERS PLANS
Wow, such an angry woman. Her shakes were so uncontrollable I wonder when she got back to her office how much top shelf bourbon she threw back. She had to be bombed and hour later.
She won’t be impeached or censured. The Dems own the house and she is from California. This may be the end of her speakership, but she will be back in 2021.
Political Insider overplays its’ lead to their posts! I read the storys but am tired of the hypebole lead lines.
Tehran Nancy showed herself off as this classless hag she has been for some time now.
It’s worse than disrespectful——it’s against the law! Pelosi should be prosecuted for destruction of government property. The copy of that speech belongs to the American People. I want her to pay by doing time in JAIL!!
Being that her act her is a ” FELONY ” then arrest her and charge her thusly. NO ONE IS ABOVE ” HER ” LAW! Any regular person doing this act would be in JAIL BY NOW!
Nancy Pelosi is a disgrace to this country and her position as Speaker. She should resign immediately but we all know that would never happen.
She keeps touting her Catholic faith so, as a Catholic, I would recommend that Nancy, her minions and the entire Democratic Party seek help from her church and request an exorcism as soon as possible.
Everything we’ve been seeing is truly the work of demonic possession.
I wonder if you put a bobble head next to her, could anyone tell the difference? Maybe she was with
aoc making cocktails!
That was VANDALISM! The documents belong to us, not her.
“Vandalism is the action involving deliberate destruction of or damage to public or private property. The definition of vandalism allows to distinguish hostile behavior aimed to damage or destroy the object, instrumental behavior consisting of damage or destruction caused to an object as a mean to achieve other goals, and behavior motivated by a desire to express oneself through the degradation of objects as well as a play vandalism.Wikipedia”
What’s next painting GRAFFITI at the W.H. because she didn’t like what the President said?
Pelosi is one spoiled brat and is the polar opposite of women in powerful positions.
