So it was a calculated, not spontaneous, act of vindictiveness, disrespect and disdain not only for those whose name appear on those pages, but also reflective of her true nature. She is consumed with rage and contempt for the very office she holds, those of her colleagues, The President, the invited guests at the SOTU and her precious three-but-equal branches of government. Imagine how she feels about all of us in "flyover country." Or, we can ask her constituents that are homeless, living and sleeping in the streets. They can tell us all how she's helped them.House Speaker Nancy Pelosi apparently made tiny tears in her copy of President Trump’s State of the Union address — so that her speech-ripping moment could go off without a hitch.
As Trump introduced cancer-stricken radio host Rush Limbaugh — who received the Medal of Freedom during the speech — Pelosi could be seen grabbing the pages off the table.
Video shows her making what seemed to be a tearing motion and then placing the pages back on the table.
Photos of the sheets of paper show them face down on the table with small slits on the side, near where Pelosi would eventually rip them into pieces.
Vice President Mike Pence, who was seated next to the California Democrat, told “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday that it felt like she’d planned to rip the speech because “it felt like such an immediate moment.”
Pelosi’s office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
