WASHINGTON (PNN) - February 5, 2020 - When asked afterwards, "Why did you tear up the speech?" Rep. Nancy Pelosi (Kalif.) responded, "Because it was the courteous thing to do. It was the courteous thing to do considering the alternative."
One can only wonder what the alternative was.
One year after Nancy Pelosi's famous State of the Union 2019 handclap... and one failed impeachment later, President Donald Trump returned the favor and snubbed Pelosi's handshake as he took the stage at today's SOTU address.
Pelosi, as expected, snubbed Trump right back, introducing him only as, "The President of the (Fascist Police States of Amerika)", whereas traditionally the speaker has used the language, "I have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the President of the United States."
Still, Trump will have the final laugh: in less than 24 hours the Senate will vote to acquit Trump of the impeachment farce passed by Pelosi's House a few weeks ago, a process Pelosi herself did not want to pursue, afraid that it would backfire and cripple the chances of the establishment's favorite candidate, Joe Biden, but was ultimately forced to do by the radical Left-wing in the Democrat Party.
