WATCH: Pelosi Snaps When Reporter Asks If Ripping Up Trump Speech Was ‘Dignified’

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) got testy during a Thursday morning press conference after a CNN reporter questioned the top Democrat’s message of “dignity” when she decided to rip up a physical copy of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech on Tuesday night. According to Pelosi, not only were her actions “dignified” and “appropriate,” they were “courteous,” considering what she was dealing with from the president.

CNN’s Manu Raju questioned Pelosi if the now-infamous speech-tearing stepped on her messages about being “dignified” and taking the “high ground.”
