Nancy Pelosi Rips up Trumps #SOTU speech - Incredible moment Pelosi closes down Trump House speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected Donald Trump's State of the Union address by ripping up her copy after he concluded the annual speech - about 90 minutes after the president refused to shake her hand.
The California Democrat sat just over his left shoulder during the speech, looking disgusted and disinterested as he mostly read it off a Teleprompter. At times, she shook her head or waved a finger dismissively. Before the commander in chief had even left the dais, she tore pages of her copy into pieces and tossed it down in front of her.
A Pelosi aide confirmed she said after leaving the House chamber she tore up the printed version of his remarks because it was "the courteous thing to do ... considering the alternative." The speaker did not elaborate on what that meant, other than she disliked the president's speech.
White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham responded on Twitter, highlighting parts of her boss' speech in saying the speaker "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."
