UPDATED WITH VIDEO!… PELOSI PRE-RIPPED Trump Speech, Despite Claims Grandstanding Move Was Impromptu
After the petty and petulant Nancy Pelosi ripped up President Trump’s speech at the conclusion of his State of the Union address to the nation Tuesday night, Vice President Mike Pence said she had planned the move.
The House Speaker said she didn’t.
She did.
Now there is video—

“A canny observer caught what appears to be the Speaker actually practicing the moves under the table before the speech was over,” The Daily Mail reported on Wednesday.
Said the New York Post:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi apparently made tiny tears into her copy of President Trump’s State of the Union address — so that her speech-ripping moment could go off without a hitch.
As Trump introduced cancer-stricken radio host Rush Limbaugh — who received the Medal of Freedom during the speech — Pelosi could be seen grabbing the pages off the table.
Video shows her making what seemed to be a tearing motion and then placing the pages back on the table.
Photos of the sheets of paper show them face down on the table with small slits on the side, near where Pelosi would eventually rip them into pieces.
Pence slammed Pelosi for the childish move. “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,” Pence said.
But a Spokesman for Pelosi insisted that her ripping up the speech not pre-planned.
“The Vice President’s complicity in last night’s reality show is disgusting. He is in no position to lecture anyone about the Constitution, decorum or respect as he cheerleads the mistruths of his master,” Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill told DailyMail.com.
“The speaker got a rock star welcome from her Democratic Party when she met with them in the Capitol Wednesday morning,” The Mail said.
Lawmakers greeted her with thunderous applause and gave her a standing ovation when she explained why she ripped up Trump’s address.
‘He shredded the truth so I shredded his speech,’ she said, according to reports.
‘You are supposed to talk about the state of the union,’ she noted, ‘not the state of your alleged mind.’
Once a liar, always a liar.
