A fiery House Speaker Nancy Pelosi went on the offensive Thursday to push back on Donald Trump’s claims during his State of the Union address and warn the president against threatening Democrats.
Her spirited press conference the day after the Senate acquitted Trump of the House’s impeachment charges was an extension of her decision to rip up her copy of the president’s State of the Union speech Tuesday. She defended her action, saying the president lied about his record on health care and former President Barack Obama’s economic achievements.
Pelosi said Tuesday’s speech was more like a reality show that showcased Trump’s “state of mind.”
“He shredded the truth in his speech, he is shredding the Constitution in his conduct, so I shredded his state of the mind address,” Pelosi said. “It was necessary to get the attention of the American people that this was not true.”
