Thread: Nancy Pelosi's reactions to Trump stole the State of the Union spotlight

Nancy Pelosi's reactions to Trump stole the State of the Union spotlight

It’s hard to top a sea of Democratic congresswomen in suffragette white, Melania Trump’s eyebrow-raising solo-glove action or even POTUS for that matter, but Speaker Nancy Pelosi may have pulled it off.

The California congresswoman — who also wore white for the occasion — joined Vice President Mike Pence in sitting behind President Trump during Tuesday’s State of the Union. While Pence gamely applauded during key moments of Trump’s speech, Pelosi was seen reading her notes and pointedly clapping at POTUS, prompting him to flash a series of tight grins.
Her literal clapback has now achieved meme status.

It helps to be a professional at this...I put many filters, edited this and that way until it was perfect and added a real Louvre frame to it. And put the shadow back in, too. pic.twitter.com/X1rtsiSlEy

She can kill with a clap, she can wound with her eyes
And she's far from impressed with your Soviet ties
And she'd quite like to stab you and laugh as you bleed
She thinks you're a child but she's Nancy Pelosi to me

Other Pelosi reactions also garnered attention, from her unimpressed-seeming body language to her look of annoyance when Trump referenced “ridiculous partisan investigations.”

Pelosi later took to Twitter to slam the “misrepresentations” she objected to in the speech.

Trump may have worked in his own insult. CBS News reports that the president broke tradition by not waiting for Pelosi, in her role as Speaker of the House, to introduce him before he began his address.
The political leaders have famously clashed over Trump’s demand for funding for a proposed border wall, which resulted in one government shutdown, with the threat of another one looming.

The media can't even say anything positive about Trump's SOTU speech. Instead, they focus on Pelosi's disgusting behavior and think it's great. Pelosi has no class whatsoever, and definitely shouldn't being holding the position of Speaker of the House.

Pelosi did not "steal" anything...she demonstrated what a disgusting swamp rat SHE is and the rest of the Democrat party against our citizens, our peace, our safety, our security and the well being of our country and our future.

They are truly evil, rich, protected behind their walls, out of touch, pathetic, bought and paid for elites who have NO idea what the American people SUFFER through their failed policies, high taxes, open borders and crime THEY impose on us.
