WASHINGTON – In a new television interview, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she had not planned to tear up her copy of President Donald Trump's State of the Union speech until she read it, saw it was "terrible," and wanted to "get attention" to its "objectionable" parts.
Speaking with CNN's Christiane Amanpour in an excerpted portion of an interview set to air on Monday, Pelosi defended herself amid heavy criticism from Republicans for tearing up her copy of the speech after Trump finished his remarks on Feb. 4.
"I had no intention of doing that when we went to the State of the Union," Pelosi said.
After reading through about a third of the speech, she said she thought, "this is terrible," and "realized that almost every page had something in it that was objectionable."
Pelosi said she was disappointed with the speech's failure to mention any of the legislation House Democrats had passed, and "we had little press on it, and it seems that if you want to get press, you have to get attention, so I thought, well, let's get attention on the fact that what he said here today was not true."

Didn’t have enough racism in it, made her mad?
I hear Penlosi is tearing up her car’s warranty-——b/c it’s a monumental lie.
“...Pelosi said she was disappointed with the speech’s failure to mention any of the legislation House Democrats had passed...”
Hell, you ain’t passed anything since President Trump got elected...You DA democrats have spent all your time trying to impeach him...You ain’t done nuthin’ for America and our people...
Okey Dokey then...
Okey Dokey then...
And that’s why she made little rips in it ahead of time.
And she didn’t read it during the SOTU speech. She was too busy directing the responses of her democrat drones.
What a liar.
Right.
Methinks she protests too much.
She made up this story after the polling came back showing how horrible the public response to her stunt was. Before this she was defiant and we know she pre-tore the sheets to make sure she could rip them on cue.
Pelosi is a liar.
And now the democratic response...
“LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE YOU’RE FOREVER IMPEACHED!”
So, what, she’s going for temporary insanity? Cool, unfit to serve as speaker, NEXT.
That ‘the best is yet to come’ line got her goat.
Pecker puss Pelsoi got negative attention to the fact that she is bat shit crazy. Why would the Donald mention the left wing crap passed by the house that went into cocaine Mitch’s legislative graveyard?
Keep talking Nancy...
Oh BullSchitt
She and the children on her staff planned this juvenile tantrum before they even sent the invite
Pelosi can read?
Sotu ripping must not be polling well in demonrat focus groups...
I don't get it; her defence now is that she lacks impulse control?
Regards,
There is video footage of her practicing the tear, and making little rips to get it started.
It was totally premeditated.
