Nancy perfectly represents her constituency .

[joycekoch]

She knows next year she is going to have to top this
so she might have to resort to more dramatic theatrics like
pooping on the papers at Trump's next state of the union in 2021.

The courteous thing to do is resign instead of behaving so unprofessionally on national TV. If you are this unhappy it is time to use your time elsewhere.

I was told that that goes to the National Archives and it's not actually her property and that that's a felony

[juanmotime]

Thanks for the win piglosy!!!! Keeping America Great in 2Q2Q No problem now!!!! WWG1WGA

Yet another reason I am glad I left the Democratic Party!  When you put emotion before good behavior, your a loser.

"Remember to keep comments respectful..."

I don't think I'll be able to do that, YouTube...so I'll have to leave it at that.

Drunk ol bird thought it was the constitution.

[mickihead]

“Considering the alternative” ... yeah you wish!

[justsayin]

Remember folks the papers were PRE-ripped. She premeditated her actions. This shows her disdain for not only the bad but the good in that speech.

[jonker]

Because it was the dumbest and pettiest thing to do 👌

[KL-xskq]

THERE IS NO Excuse FOR HER BAD BEHAVIOR. What she did is against the law. The world was watching. What an embarrassment!

[refererererer]

For those who don't get it, she implied that she could have done something way worse but she held back.

[irishrose]

Explain it to your cellmate
That was a national document
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[marsolinantonio]

Pelosi with her sincerity and all honesty was fervently and lovingly praying for the US President and for the country while tearing the speech.

[keithmumford]

Pre-tore the edges, yet it was spontaneous.
Yet another lie amidst her litany of lies.
RESIGN IN DISGRACE!

[beckyscott]

I mean...I could say a LOT about this, but at least maybe SOME of the party will open their eyes after this childish behavior and start supporting our president. #Trump2020

[fenderstrat]

Because im a sore loser and a failure and I know my career is over thats why

[techiedls]

She didn't introduce him right tit for tat 🥂

[lovemjmore]

Religious speaker, you know. Liar needs to go to prison.
