Speaker, Pelosi tears copy of President’s State of the Union address

Speaker of the U.S House, Nancy Pelosi, was Tuesday seen ripping up a copy of the President’s speech as President Donald Trump finished his State of the Union Address.

Asked why she did so, Pelosi told reporters: “Because it was the courteous thing to do,” adding that it was “the courteous thing to do considering the alternative.”

However, The White House responded quickly, accusing Pelosi of disrespecting the Americans that Trump had praised during his State of the Union address.

Pelosi and Trump have long had a frosty relationship; tensions only rose after Pelosi came to embrace the idea of impeaching Trump.
