Nancy Pelosi performed a publicity stunt when she tore up her copy of President Trump's speech at the end of his State of the Union speech. Other Democrats probably loved it and thought it was a fitting way to try to regain the spotlight after a tremendous speech.
Now we learn there is an ehthics investigation threatened. See Gaetz to File Ethics Charges Against Pelosi: ‘She Destroyed Official Records.
Maybe technically Pelosi actually violated an obscure rule against destroying government records. But as we've seen with Hillary Clinton's email scandal, the Democrat position on the issue is "so what?"
Pelosi was only conducting a publicity stunt. That's all she had left. And if it's OK to burn an American flag, then ripping up a paper copy of a speech doesn't seem all that bad.
But in these days of battling publicity stunts Gaetz has every right to do whatever he wants. Go for it Matt.
Ridicule is bloggers' weapon of choice. And Pelosi with her senile/infantile tactics is fair game.
