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.”

Australia has an opinion of what bitter Nancy thought should be torn up and thrown away.
Sky News cuts to the chase.
Speaker Pelosi just ripped up:
— The White House (@WhiteHouse) February 5, 2020
One of our last surviving Tuskegee Airmen.
The survival of a child born at 21 weeks.
The mourning families of Rocky Jones and Kayla Mueller.
A service member's reunion with his family.
That's her legacy.
Pelosi just violated protocol by not giving traditional State of Union introduction: "Members of Congress, I have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the President of the United States."
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) February 5, 2020
She said: "Members of Congress, the president of the United States"

This petulant woman has no business being Speaker of the House. She forgot who pays the bills and it is “We the people. . . ” Her tearing up the president’s State of the Union Address was the same as spitting on the American people and the President of the United States who represents each and every American.
It is appalling she acted in such a boorish manner. And her Socialist/Communist buddies acted in the same way. They hate the American president and the American people. So look closely America, their behavior says it all. Omar, AOC, Talaib, Nancy Pelosi, Nadler, Schiff et al NEED to be voted out of office.
Headline should read,” Pelosi tears up Trump’s speech,,,right after he tears her a new one.”,,,because her old one wasn’t working so well resulting in a constipated Congress where nothing productive ever moves out to clean up what resides within while she rules the roost and confuses Constitution with Constipation.
If current democrat voters have brains they should call this baby minded brat to be removed not only as the Speaker of the House but completely removed from this swamp congress. She insulted herself a lot more than she did our President. She just did a cheap thing in front of millions of us watching. She has had her day and time to remove her if not by the House members, then we, who are the Government and Power and they are our SERVANTS/Employees and this cannot be accepted nor tolerated. As far as millions think is that she must be removed lock, stock and barrow from OUR Congress and no lifetime benefits, but her family should consider putting her in an institution as mentally she is NOT all there. Last year was not good for her action then, but this is beyond everything! Get her out of this swamp congress today!
Hopefully, in November, we will see a Red tsunami that will wash over the country and sweep away the democrat party. In its wake, we need to finish Trump’s work of draining the swamp and proceeding on to do so throughout the rest of the country, no matter what it takes. We will Make America Great Again!
IMO if she wants to act like a petulant 4 yr old on camera, TRUMP Should have treated her one, SENT HER AWAY to her room, after giving her a good BACKSIDE SPANKING..
Agree with you except for your last sentence. They don’t need to be voted out of office. They need to be executed for treason.
She has a terminal case of TDS.
Aye! You suggest a new psychological condtion, TTDS (Terminal Trump Derangement Syndrome).
I honestly wish TDS was a terminal illness.
I am with ya there Capt. Its truely a pity, we’re only calling it terminal, Figuratively. AND NOT literally.
I’ve seen enough; just like all bullies from the beginning of time, the Left blames the Conservatives for the boorish, seditious, and illegal actions they loudly claim to an obedient Media, despicable actions the Left actually do commit.
Nancy Pelosi is without a doubt, the most disgraceful and undeserving person to EVER hold the title of Speaker of the House. Through her lies, bullying, lack of accountability, grandstanding and utter lack of concern for her own California constituents fighting filth, feces, and crime in her streets she was elected to protect. Remove her immediately.
embarrassing and should be last straw
Dems are our enemy and we all need to recognize and band together to fight them…. no more tolerance… these people hate you and America and are only interested in political power and using Americans for personal benefit
Dems are our enemy! Have we had enough?
Those white virginal costumes of innocence fooled nobody but a Democrat on Drugs. I was waiting for that ending scene in Raiders of the lost ark when they all flew out of the ark looking like angels then circled the sacred icons and turned into their real demonic soul revealed images to devour and destroy even their own. When Pelosi ripped up the speech, she might as well have ripped up her Speakership and tossed it to the squad to fight over like rabid Democrat dogs.
That might as well have been the Constitution she ripped in half. It is clear an America with a true conservative in the White House is one Pelosi would just as soon destroy. The American people are being scoffed at by these arrogant spoiled leftist defectors. Get rid of them before they get rid of U.S.
It certainly may as well have been, what with their continued attack on both the 1st and 2nd amendment..
I am now thoroughly convinced that “Nervous Nancy” is working for the Trump Re-Election Campaign; she is the gift that keeps on giving. She just pulled another 40 million more voters away from the “Demented Democrats”, President Trump could have saved 9 million on a Super Bowl Commercial last Sunday!
the comment that the cogreesman from s.c. when he said you lied mr.president.
her action last night deserves a quick and forceful censure.
i am very tired of our congress.
Rumor has it Nadler and Schiff were seen fighting to grab the torn speech pieces to sell for a profit on auction or Ebay. Bottom feeders to the end. They would have been better off READING it instead.
SHE should get more than just a mere censure..
(comment from the first video)
“I was a democrat and after this I feel so ashamed and brainwashed and tricked by the party but this soldified to me how anti american the democrats are it’s almost scary, it’s like a foreign country who don’t hold any american values. I took account of everyone of them that reacted disgusting, Nancy Pelosi is utterly shameful. This party is poisoned I’m not sure what happened to it but they are not for America, please for the love of god any democrat supporters out there break out of the chain.”
I wonder how many other Americans are now identifying as former Democrats.
I hope a HELL OF A LOT of folk..
I am embarrassed for Ms. Pelosi! What an adolescent gesture…one that would have bought her time out in school. How proud her late parents must be.
her parents be dead, or 150 years old. Nancy must be 85.
Seriously, this back to baby reversion is a serious symptom of senility she is one senile old hag.
Would have been much better if Trump had shaken Pelosi’s hand at the beginning. Not shaking her hand makes this appear like a personal tit for tat.
Some people shake the hands of sworn enemies who have done everything they can to destroy them.
Others are too honest to pretend. Trump is honest.
1. Do everything you can for a friend, and everything you can to an enemy.
2. treat others the way you want to be treated, if that does not work, treat them the way they treat you.
3. the only fair fight is the one you win.
4. two wrongs don’t make it right…it makes it fair.
seems the way PRESIDENT Trump does business, AMERICA FIRST In an honest way.
Shake her hand or not, you and I will still vote for him.
Shaking her hand would have exposed her for all. Instead we get the “she insulted him, he insulted her, she insulted him” routine, and now we get to wait for Trump to tweet an insult back. I have had to many conversations with people that should support Trump but just can’t get past his personality. Two seconds of humility would go a long way to help the undecided.
Darby, anyone who is too stupid to understand the differences between what Trump has done and what Pelosi represents is not going to be changed by a handshake. Thinking that it will make a difference is either very naive or something worse.
Exactly leo. WHY should he have shaken the hand, of someone who’s TRIED to destroy him for the past 3 years??
I just read a story that Nancy was PRACTICING tearing the speech pages under the table while the speech was going on–and that the pages had starting tears to make sure she could get it done.
This was nothing more than ANOTHER pre-planned Demmunist STUNT adesigned to display the Demmunists’ “eff-you” DISRESPECT and hatred of our President. She had ALWAYS planned to do this, before the speech even started, before she ever received “her” copy. Just shows what a petulant, tantrum throwing BABY she truly is.
The ONE consolation we can take from this is the knowledge that SHE will NEVER sit behind the President during ANOTHER State-of-the-Union speech. She is DONE. The LOONS of Commifornia may re-elect her, but she will NEVER be SPEAKER–or have any power or influence, EVER again, after the next election!
darby, I would NOT have shaken the hand of that horrible, and vile woman either !
He might have got Leprosy ,,,which is only carried by Humans and Armadillos. I’m sure this Pelosi Dirt digging Armadillo is feeling like Texas road kill after Trump’s speech and his Impeachment win for THE PEOPLE..
Me neither. Hell, After seeing her rip the Speech up, had it been me, i’d have IMMEDIATELY ordered the guard to REMOVE her from the building..
Why better? Did anyone see the President shake the VP’s hand? How petty.
True, but the VP didn’t extend his hand.
My comments are in the context of needing four more years of Trump, not defending Pelosi. 40% of likely voters will vote for Trump no matter what, and 40% will vote against. On election day, the voters that matter most are the 20% in the middle. Plus a win of the national vote will help slow down the nonsense of wanting to decide presidential elections by popular vote.
The VP didn’t need to shake his hand, so didn’t put it out there..
darby, she did not welcome our President as is usually done, so she started her non-class act right then and there and followed it up with disgracing herself and her party big time. We know they are democrat communists and obviously this is their way to show they are still fighting to take over our Republic. She will love being walked to the gallows for outright treason and tomorrow would be a good day to do it. Then while she is marching to the gallows we confiscate ALL her ASSETS here and abroad and to hell with her similar family!
She began this by disrespecting the President with her manner of introduction. Think President Trump didn’t pick up on it? Think she still wouldn’t have torn up the speech even with a handshake? Don’t make me laugh. Notice the Political talking heads, even Republican ones, aren’t even mentioning that obvious fact. Every action and reaction has a Genesis. This addled, vituperous crone and her venal minions in their costumes are trying their level worst to destroy the Country. It is long past time to denounce the one and only side that is causing this rancor. I am fed up with the pansies who insist on blaming all sides when one side isn’t doing anything like the other. Time to wake up, smell the coffee, and begin the hard work of cleaning out this trash where it can be cleaned out. Drain the Damn Swamp already!
No, he didn’t shake Pence’s hand, either. Not a snub.
That’s Piglosi finalizing the demise of her Communist Party. The DemocRAT Party WILL be the Minority Party after November’s election.
Well, Dem voters, Nasty Nancy has just shown you how all your Dem politicians, regardless of their longstanding record of governing failure, disastrous policies & slew of obviously false promises, will viciously turn on you & publicly treat you with malignant contempt & hatred if you dare disagree with or question their quest for tyrannical rule.
As Nancy has smugly told us: pandering, lying, slander & threats of harsh retribution have served Dems well in many areas where Dems have deemed their voters as being so ignorant they will vote for a “glass of water” if it has a D in front of it.
Nancy & Schiff have clearly demonstrated what all local, state & federal Dem politicians are doing & will keep doing if not stopped, which is TEAR UP, TRASH & make a complete mockery of the constitution, bill of rights, freedoms of speech & association, sovereignty, citizenship, rule of law, economic / social stability & the votes / elections that go against them & their drive to achieve absolute power.
Unfortunatel, i fear many of those voters, are TOO DUMB to have noticed… OR to have cared.
Nothing new for this deranged hag, remember last year-
“Pelosi was sitting behind Trump for the 82-minute speech, meaning many TV cameras captured her reactions right over Trump’s shoulder.
People online eagerly shared images of Pelosi pursing her lips, raising her eyebrows, and interacting with Democrats in the crowd in a way that they suggested detracted from Trump’s message.
Perhaps the most widely shared moment was Pelosi’s mocking round of applause for Trump early in his speech.”
She is totally unfit to be Speaker of the House, and has shown time after time she is unfit to even hold a seat in the House.
Looked like she was chewing her cud most of the night.
Loose dentures, at 82, it’s hard to keep ’em tight. Time for her to retire, and enjoy her second childhood in private, and not in public. I’m 80, so I’m not joking about her age.
She is totally unfit to be in the NATION, let alone hold office.
What I saw was a wretched, America hating, fool ripping the last slim chances of hope for DemRats remaining in office to pieces.
Let’s hope you’re right.
It was a stunning and shameful display of disrespect. Pelosi has no business being in Congress, let alone being Speaker of the House.
She is proof positive that life without God is like an unsharpened pencil,,,,it has no point.,,,,,just like most of her own speeches. What a waste of a Speakership opportunity, not to mention American trust to do the right thing under pressure.
And considering the K Street Eunuch Ryan was there preceding her, with only the tax cut accomplished, it’s now 4 years of vapid House leadership. Kevin McCarthy is a pure Washington politico but he will tower over Ryan/Pelosi after being elevated to Speaker because he actually has scruples and guiding principles. In fact, it is these very things which make for great effective House Speakers, not wishy washy dealmakers ready to compromise away everything for a piece of paper.
LETS get some new blood in there to be speaker, when we win..
The only good place for her homely prune face is on a roll of TP. Then, and only then will she ever be needed.
She has already had so many facial skin tightening circumcisions that when she sits down her mouth slams shut,,,which could be a good thing. Many people are waiting for her Michael Jackson nose to just drop off, having been stuck into so many other people’s business.
I;m just waiting for her to croak.. The hag needs to just hurry up and die.
I am amazed that she had the strength to tear the pages since she is so weak in the head and direction. I think she did not like Trump’s comments regarding her once great state of California. Rip away Nancy, you can not change accomplishments already done and with more to come!!
Pelosi showed her TRUE colors, by this immature, spiteful act ! In MY opinion, it actually HELPED President Trump. Have we EVER seen a Speaker of the House do something THAT childish, and mean, in front of the cameras ?
She displaced even more of lacting common sense than last year and she thinks is/was a good thing. Sorry, but she we need to remove her even if physically from our swamp congress as once you show how you have Trump passed,but this has not! She also wore white as she did last year. Actually they should all be wearing red as the democrat communists they are and not white which is for the innocent and females with real taste. Nothing like shooting yourself in the foot and then find that the poison is rising fast to a childish brain.
She will be praised by the media and the radical left wing., for her “courageous” “resistance”. Pence should have punched her out.
Of course they’ll lap it up… THEY ARE NOTHING BUT Drones of the DNC.
It simply defies logic that anyone who loves the USA could even contemplate having any person who shows as much contempt for not just our President but what amounts to every level of our society and person who is a citizen of this nation that those people that were elected under the quise of Democrats exhibit in their actions and inactions, one would hope that these individuals would be replaced by people who actually love this nation and want the best for every citizen no matter what. But sadly a lot of people in our country will probably see nothing wrong with the childish way Pelosi and those who call themselves representatives of the masses (Democrats) acted during and after the SOTU address by our President.
That’s the thing. THE DEMS HAVE PROVEN beyond a shadow of a doubt, they do NOT LOVE THIS NATION..
They want to see it ruined!
No real surprise here, Pelosi and the Democratic Party have no leg to stand on, haven’t for a long time, when they started all this Impeachment nonsense the other leg was cut off. It clearly shows the immaturity and inability to ever get anything done, well except maybe to continue to destroy America and all it stands for. I can’t help think that tearing up Trumps State of the Union Speech was really tearing up the Constitution of the United States. The Democratic Convoy has been torpedoed and sunk but would still try to claim victory while in a life raft.
Wow, for a woman who bears no hate and prays for our president daily- she sure lost it last night!
This proves what many have been saying all along- their fomenting seams to be all about being afraid of their crimes being revealed!
We pray for our POTUS, that he is protected by God, from the evil forces that want to protect their status quo, as he tries to clean up and drain the DC Swamp!
Amen
No fool like a fool trying to fool themselves into believing they did not play the fool
Well done, Nancy Foolosi
These despicable Democrats are clearly not worth of leadership roles. The video of her ripping up the President’s speech, together with a listing of the most popular things he said in his speech, would make a great campaign ad for the President’s reelection and the defeat of any vulnerable Democrat. Voice over: this is _______’s leader.
Just a reminder- it was Pelosi and her minions in 2007 that conspired to tank the market (many of us lost 40% out of our retirement portfolios), and the Dems engineered the housing collapse- peddling overpriced properties, telling banks not to worry about financial qualification criteria, and I believe Nancy also made a trip to visit Chavez in Venezuela and then gas shot up $2/gallon shortly thereafter. I distinctly remember that the talking heads were bragging on Sunday AM talk shows about raising the misery index to put their candidate in the White House in 2008. They succeeded.
Bottom line- Dems have a history of tanking cities, tanking the economy, simply to gain power.
The results of the previous admin (doubling the debt in 8 years – more than all preceding 43 presidents- for “shovel-ready jobs and infrastructure” apparently was a bust, and with the billions that went missing in Ukraine- they are desperately trying to keep POTUS from uncovering their money-laundering operations that seem to connect to war and foreign aid, and no-doubt their efforts to nationalize our health care as well as our retirement accounts, etc, etc, etc.
Dems and Rinos simply cannot be trusted to handle our hard-earned tax dollars! They all seem to get rich on $170k salaries. Amazing feat!
Look at her pursed lips, she is so angry–as expected. When the truth comes out about her & family on their ill gotten gains, they may well be subject to asset freezing and or confiscated…in addition to her LOOSING her power, fame and will be laughed at til the end of her days.
Refusing to stand on important achievements of POTUS tells us just how evil this woman is–notice I said woman as she is NOT a lady
