House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) tore President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech in half just after the president finished speaking on Tuesday night.

Pelosi, 79, was handed a copy of Trump’s prepared remarks along with Vice President Mike Pence, 60, before Trump began speaking. She reached out a hand to shake Trump’s but he did not shake it.
