Newt Gingrich says Nancy Pelosi should be censured for tearing SOTU speech
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said he was “disgusted and insulted” after seeing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tear up her copy of President Trump’s State of the Union speech following his remarks Tuesday evening.
“As Speaker of the House for four State of the Unions by a President of the other party I am disgusted and insulted by the viciously partisan action of Nancy Pelosi tearing up the speech,” Gingrich tweeted late Tuesday. “She isn’t clever or cute her childishness insults our American traditions -should be censured.”
Pelosi’s move sparked outrage from many others on the right as well, including former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, House minority whip Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., and the White House, which claimed the speaker had disrespected those honored in Trump’s speech.
Jason Chaffetz, Fox News contributor and former congressman said Wednesday, “President Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday evening was better than any of the ones delivered by former President Barack Obama.”
Jason Chaffetz added, “I thought it was clear, it was visionary, and it was emotional,” he noted. “And, I just — I can’t tell you how good it was.”
“And I sat through all the Obama speeches and they talk about what a great orator he was,” he told the “Friends” hosts. “This was, by far, a better speech.”
