In a disgraceful moment, Nancy pelosi ripped up Trump’s SOTU speech on live TV right after Trump finished his speech:

Of course she knows the media will eat this clip up and show it a billion times, which is why she did it.
What a bitter, partisan woman and I can’t imagine that many in America approved of such a divisive moment.
The White House has already responded by pointing out exactly what Pelosi ripped up:
Speaker Pelosi just ripped up:
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.

UPDATE: Jonathan Turley didn’t like it…
Pelosi's act dishonored the institution and destroyed even the pretense of civility and decorum in the House. If this is the Speaker's "drop the mike" moment, it is a disgrace that should never be celebrated or repeated. In a single act, she obliterated decades of tradition.
