Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi showed off her Trump hate during the State of the Union Address. She threw a mini tantrum ripping up a copy of the address and then mocked the president during the address. She thought she was being funny and many Dems probably thought it was. But Pelosi’s slight is not going to just be swept under the rug, Lawmakers are fed up and they are going after the Speaker of the House.
“Multiple lawmakers indicated on Wednesday that they were taking action against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for ripping up President Donald Trump’s State of the Union Address last night.
In a letter addressed to Ethics Committee Chairman Ted Deutch (D-FL), Gaetz requested that the Committee open an investigation “into Speaker Pelosi’s flagrant violation of decorum, as defined in clauses 1 and 2 of House Rule XXIII, and request a criminal referral for her potential violation of 18 U.S.C. §2071 (Concealment, removal, or mutilation of documents), following President Trump’s recent State of the Union address of February 4, 2020. Her unseemly behavior certainly warrants censure.”
Later in the letter, Gaetz added: “It is hard to overlook the symbolism of such a gesture — the sense that Speaker Pelosi was utterly dismissive of the President’s achievements, and, more importantly, the achievements of the American people.”
Gaetz said that Pelosi potentially committed a crime by violating 18 U.S.C. §2071:
(a)Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.”
Rep Kay Granger tweeted about it.
“Today, I introduced a privileged resolution strongly disapproving @SpeakerPelosi’s appalling actions following President @realDonaldTrump’s #SOTU2020 address. Speaker Pelosi ripped up far more than a speech. She is not the Speaker of the Democrats, but of the People’s House!”
“Speaker Pelosi’s actions last night were appalling and shameful Not only were her actions disrespectful of the Office of the President and the millions of Americans who elected President Trump, they were a slap in the face to the American heroes and their families he honored in his address.”
She deserves every bit of punishment they can throw at her. Pelosi has been in Congress since 1987, so she knows better. This was just another slight at the president’s expense, probably in response to Trump beating the impeachment with ease making the House Dems look like fools.
Pelosi has once again proven the type of person she is and her disregard for the rules and laws she is supposed to follow. I hope she continues her childish antics, proving to the American people how unqualified and anti-American she really is. The left just doesn’t get how their actions will guarantee a Republican victory come September. Way to go, Nancy!
NO !!! THE HOUSE DEMON RATS MAKE THEM SELVES LOOK LIKE FOOLS !!!!!PUT BLAME WHERE BLAME IS DUE !!!!
Linda, I really hope you think Pelosi is to bkame. If you think Trump is at fault, you might be as crazy as that old, decrepit bag of sh@t!!
DEMAND REMOVAL of pelosi! Shes DESPICABLE! Harass her more than they harrassed our POTUS, if thats possiboe. Lets see how resilient she is.! And nobody, NOT EVEN HER is above the law.!
Of course she is above the law, she is a democrat!
IMPESCH THE BI*CH!!!
Sorry about the typo. I should have proof read it and didn’t. 🙁
Hang all the democrat politicians from the Mexican side of the border fence.
Steve, the problem is that the stupidcrats lap it up.
President Trump beating impeachment did not make the devilcRATs look like fools; they already looked like fools and it is a self-inflicted injury!!!
I’m all for them doing whatever they can to the ole alcoholic, but there is as much chance of me going to jail for tearing up the address as there is for her to. I’m sure there is plenty of crookedness that they could pin on her that might accomplish more than this will.
I THOUGHT this all occurred in JANUARY???? What the hell……. OLD NEWS!
Keep up the pressure. Don’t let it get buried. She and Schumer both need to be at the very least censured! Please, keep up the pressure.
Kick her out of congress and lock the flighty bitch up!
Pelosi is a pig
NOW; Don’t get nasty, putting down a pig like that. NO pig need be insulted in that manner. BUT the BITCH does need to go !!!!!!!
I would love to see her at the least get impeached but my money is on then doing nothing to her. For some reason they are scared to death of her and only GOD knows why.
I would love to see her at the very least get impeached but for some reason known only to GOD they are scared to death of her.
ALL THE DISCUSSION ABOVE IS INSANE. BY LAW SHE VIOLATED A LAW. Is she above the law? and will she have to suffer the consequences or not. IF SHE IS ABOVE THE LAW, LAW MEANS ZIP.. YES ZIP.
BURN THE ROTTEN BITCH ALIVE! SHE IS THE MOST CURSED INDIVIDUAL IN CONGRESS! THE ROTTEN, LYING, SLIMY “[PIG WEARING LIPSTICK” IS A DISGRACE, BURN HERR AT THE STAKE!!
With all due respect, President Trump didn’t make the demoncrats look like fools. They did that to themselves.
How can anyone in their right mind support these MORONS????
Trump by a landslide……. GO TRUMP …. Keep America Great……
I hope they throw the book at her! She needs to be removed from office, and at this point in time I don’t care HOW!!!! Just DO it! Get her OUT!!!!!!
Pelosi is 80, her brain is mush, it is not surprising at all that she is acting like a two year old, screaming, yelling and whining about not getting her way!
About time, I certainly hope that something comes out of this. Pelosi is a disgrace and it is obvious that she wants to be in charge. Please get rid of her or at least make her pay for her disgraceful acts. She is abusing her position.
Throw PEElosi in jail for 3 years and then send her home without a retirement check.
The old drunk deserves to be locked up!
The idea that arrogance, indifference and ignorance should be the substance of representation in the congress of the United States ought to be offensive, in bipartisan agreement.
Kay Granger clearly identified the problem. Pelosi needs to acknowledge the opinions of other people. She has NOT been asked to think for the rest of us. I wish she would just shut up.
Pelosi is qualified to lead no one any where that matters. Her attempts at
leadership will inevitably take people into confusion and/or tragedy.
I would like to see Pelosi, Schumer Schiff Adler disbanded from their jobs without pay, that is exact;y what these crumbs have done to the American people, they are no longer fit to hold office.l
I don’t know why some of these demo-rats have not been jailed for trying to oust a sitting president; what is wrong with this nation? once one of them goes to jail maybe the rest will learn. The same way that if we don’t go to work we do not get paid, the sale rule should be in Congress, Senate, the House, etc. They should they not be excluded from prosecution? The laws in Congress need to be changed and fast. The citizens of this nation have had it. Schiff, Pelosi, clapper, all those that conspired against this nation’s president should go to jail. They held a trial without a crime or proof.
Pelosi has dirt on practically everyone in Congress. That is the only thing that allows her to stay in office. She wields that weapon ever time her position is threatened.
String-up Nauseous Nancy Piglosi from a D.C. light pole along with Barry Soetoro and his adminions and declare it a National “Take out the Trash” Holiday…
One cannot embarrass Nasty Pelosi. She’s seared her conscience to badly that she’s beyond caring what anyone thinks of her. That holds true for the vast majority of the democrat party. They’re merely automatons blindly pushing their hellish agenda.
GIVE PIGLOSI HELL? HELL SHOW HER ASS THE FRONT DOOR AND KICK HER ASS OFF THE STEPS NOW!
Go Congressman Gaetz, peloshi has taken it upon herself to be the demon she is by her childish activities. Maybe her age is playing one factor in her obvious actions. A real authentic leader does not exhibit their personal vendettas in public. If a real leader, then their issues would be aired in private. Peloshi is not a leader, she is just a common authoritarian who cries when they don’t get their way. In other countries, the people in leadership ,positions just have their enemies killed. Peloshi is trying to win the vote of the people, sure some of the idiots will follow her because they would be her slaves, but people with ANY personal integrity would stand on their own principals. She is a perfect example of Obama. She is the typical demoncratic who stets their own laws.
The only thing I want these lawmakers is to get rid if pelosi. She is a loose cannon on deck and her childish ways harm the American people.
