But after the address, House Speaker Nancy "Dancing Dentures" Pelosi decided to tear up her copy of the State of the Union address while standing behind the President as the nation watched her childish display.
The entire address was a video display showing that the real adults in the room was the GOP and the Democrats, especially Pelosi along with Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN) who both played with their phones, were like spoiled children.
Pelosi's actions resulted in angry blowback, most significantly from the vice president, Mike Pence, a guy not known for angry expression.
During an appearance on “Fox and Friends” Wednesday, VP Pence was asked about Pelosi’s decision to rip up President Trump’s speech in front of the cameras immediately following the speech’s conclusion. He said, “I didn’t see her do it. I found out just a few moments later — and I think it was a new low.”
“I wasn’t sure if she was ripping up the speech or ripping up the Constitution,” he added.
“The contrast here was a president who spent an hour and a half making the speech about America,” Pence continued. “And Nancy Pelosi, in the final moments, tried to make it about her. And I think the American people see through it. I think they see through the pettiness, they see through the politics of all of it.”
They also see how Pelosi's childishness and poor self-awareness, because she came off as an angry loser.
Pence continued, “I think what they got last night was a speech that lifted up the country, that celebrated the incredible progress that we’ve made in our economy, rebuilding our military, strengthening our courts. The stories the president told were American stories, and I just know that it was a great, great blessing to people all across America. And it’s one of the reasons you see the momentum growing behind this president.”
Pence ended by making a prediction. “I just have a strong feeling that she’s going to be the last Speaker of the House to sit in that chair for a long time,” he said.
After the hosts noted that “we’ve never seen anything like that before” and that Pelosi’s actions are being criticized by some as a “sore loser move,” Pence was asked if he thought the speaker planned the act of defiance all along.
“It felt like it. It was such an immediate moment,” said Pence.
Evidently, the seal-begging-for-fish hand-clapping didn't work in her favor, so she waited to put on her immature display. She tore the address one page at a time, just to make sure the nation saw her.
“I’ve been to a lot of State of the Union addresses as a member of Congress, and now this was my fourth as a Vice President of the United States,” he added. “And there’s always a basic decorum and a basic respect. But to have her stand up and tear up that speech really dishonored the moment, and I really thought it was beneath the dignity of a joint session of Congress — and I think it will be remembered as such.”
She also broke with House tradition by introducing the President without the usual honorific: “Members of Congress, I have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the President of the United States.” And if President Trump actually refused to shake her hand, the hand of the person who would see him removed from office, I commend his honesty. But even that, in terms of whether it was intentional, is unclear.
Following her disgusting act of disrespect on the national stage, Pelosi, with her uncontrollable dentures, told reporters that she felt compelled to do it because it was a “dirty speech” and that her actions were actually the more “courteous” thing to do considering the “alternative” — an alternative that may have included using the address like a Sears catalog in an outhouse.
Were the parts she found dirty may have been about the Tuskegee Airman Charles McGee or his great grandson? Perhaps it was Rush Limbaugh with his dirty cancer. Or the elected President of Venezuela, Juan Guaido? Maybe even the wife of a victim of a Cassem Soleimani roadside bomb? Or the Sergeant who was reunited with his family? It's not obvious what was dirty in her dirty little mind.
But most likely the parts she found dirty were Trump's successes: the soaring economy; the drastic reduction in unemployment across the entire intersectional spectrum that the left finds so important to their political ambitions; the increase in life expectancy; the respect the country is getting from other nations; or simply the fact that Trump is still president and will not be impeached.
The Democrats looked petty and very small. If Trump can maintain the decorum that he had in his SOTU address, he will have another four years to make Democrats crazy again.
