WASHINGTON, DC - FEBRUARY 04: House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) rips up pages of the State of the Union speech after U.S. President Donald Trump finishes his State of the Union speech in the chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives on February 04, 2020 in Washington, DC. President Trump delivers his third State of the Union to the nation the night before the U.S. Senate is set to vote in his impeachment trial.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripped up President Donald Trump‘s State of the Union speech just after he had completed the 90-minute address to the nation. Trump’s fiery speech threw out a lot of red meat to his conservative base including awarding the Presidential Medal Freedom to right-wing icon Rush Limbaugh and attacking illegal immigrants.
When asked why she tore up the speech, Pelosi said that she did it “because that was the courteous thing to do when faced with the alternative.”
