BRAVO! Twitter Users Hail ‘Queen’ Pelosi For Ripping Up Trump’s ‘Garbage’ Speech
huffpost.com
House speaker delivers a viral moment by tearing up the president’s State of the Union address.
By Ed Mazza
It was the rip heard ’round the world.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) took the thunder out of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech on Tuesday night by ripping it up as he finished speaking.
“It was the courteous thing to do, considering the alternatives,” Pelosi said in response to a reporter as she left the event.
The ending capped off an evening that began with an icy moment between the two: Trump appeared to snub Pelosi’s offer of a handshake, and she dispensed with part of the traditional introduction to the president.
The speech’s dramatic conclusion quickly trended on Twitter ? with many Pelosi supporters hailing her act of defiance:

Watching the people who decry “liberal snowflakes” clutching their pearls over Pelosi tearing up President Pussygrabber’s speech is probably the best thing I’ve ever seen.

Pelosi tore up a printout of a speech.

Dear @GOP
Don’t worry, we already know you are going to wag fingers at us about civility after the Pelosi shred.
But daily he shreds truth, norms, decency, honor, and dignity.
And as a serial rapist, he shreds lives.
So. Spare. Us. You #hypocrites #Pelosi #shredded
