Whether pursuing impeachment tore the country apart is matter of partisan debate, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had no qualms ripping President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address in half on Tuesday night.
Pelosi was filmed standing behind the president on the rostrum of the House chambers and tearing copies of the president’s speech as Vice President Mike Pence clapped and Trump closed by saying, “God bless the United States of America.”

Asked why she tore up the speech, which touted economic successes under the Trump administration while denigrating socialism, “the radical left,” illegal immigrants and the previous administration, Pelosi told NBC News “It was the courteous thing to do considering the alternative.”
