Trump’s Magic SOTU Speech Highlighted by Punch-Drunk Pelosi . . . "Emotion from tales and images of lost soldiers, a martyred young aid worker, a young Black girl seeking better education, a lost brother to an illegal alien, a premature one-pound baby, a 100-year-old Tuskegee Airman and great-grandson, a returning soldier to his family, etc.
Notice Pelosi pre-ripped the pages just before the President's conclusion.
. . . "This isn't really all that surprising. We all knew that Pelosi did that as a stunt. It is why she ripped the speech in sections. And when she did it, she made sure to change directions. It was clear she was doing it so every camera could see, at least at some point in time" . . .So Nancy Pelosi planned out her toddler-like rip stunt all along
. . . "According to Pelosi's media allies at NBC, she wanted you to believe that it all came in an impulsive moment of pique . See?
Pelosi Was Mandated to Preserve Trump’s Signed Copy of His SOTU Speech — She Tore It Up Instead . . . "Upon entering the House chamber President Trump handed Speaker Pelosi a signed copy of his State of the Union speech as is required.
"According to Carl Hibgie — US law requires that Pelosi preserve any official government document:". . . "According to 18 U.S. Code § 2071."
Her drop the mic moment will have a lasting impact on the House. . . . While many will celebrate her trolling of the president, she tore up something far more important than a speech. Pelosi has shredded decades of tradition, decorum, and civility that the nation could use now more than ever. The House speaker is more than a political partisan, particularly when carrying out functions such as the State of the Union address. A president appears in the House as a guest of both chambers of Congress. The House speaker represents not her party or herself but the entirety of the chamber. At that moment, she must transcend her own political ambitions and loyalties." . . . Jonathan Turley
