Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz filed an ethics complaint against Nancy Pelosi that said the House Speaker possibly violated numerous House rules — and maybe even broke the law — by tearing up a copy of President Trump’s State of the Union speech.

The Florida legislator sent a letter to the House Committee on Ethics requesting they open an investigation and shared the missive on Twitter.

Gaetz wrote that “Speaker Pelosi’s gesture was deeply offensive and appears to violate clauses 1 and 2 of House Rule XXIII,” which dictate the House’s official code of conduct.

“Her behaviour does not ‘reflect creditably on the House,’ nor does it follow “the spirit and the letter of the Rules of the House.”

Gaetz, in his letter, said Pelosi’s “unseemly behaviour certainly warrants censure.”

The lawmaker asked that after conducting the ethics probe, the committee make referrals to the Department of Justice “for further investigation and prosecution.”

Pelosi, Gaetz alleges in the letter, “appears to be in violation” of a law that prohibits willfully destroying paper or documents “filed or deposited” in public office.

“There is no question that Speaker Pelosi ‘mutilated, obliterated, or destroyed’ the copy of the President’s address provided to her at the beginning of the evening,” Gaetz wrote, quoting language from the law.

Pelosi’s chickens are coming home to roost....About time we on the right fought back!

 
The copy of Trump's speech did not belong to Nancy Pelosi it wasn't hers to destroy. It belonged to the people. The people own that building, the people own her office and chair, she's an occupant in OUR House.
 
She should be forced out of the speakership at a minimum. Imagine if it had been a Republican ripping up Obama's SOTU speech.
 
Pelosi likes to remind everyone that “no one” is above the law. Yet try and hold her elitist self to standards and accountability and she scoffs at you like she is Marie Antoinette and you are a serf. This is why I don’t vote Democrat..... they believe in wealth and no accountability for themselves and limited wealth and unlimited accountability for all others.
 
Pelosi may want to retire rather than be booted out of the speakers chair by the AOC wing of the party

Is there a penalty for filing frivolous ethics complaints over getting triggered by the Speakers tear-able action in ripping up a copy of the Little-Lying Donnie's SOTU Reality Show script?

AOCs wing of the party love what she did

On this, I agree with Golfing. Still-------------> forget Gop and Democrat as a choice, instead ask yourself what Americans of all stripes and flavors think. That is the key of if it was a net plus, or minus for Nancy.

You must also ask yourself----------->once the GOP brings out how much AOC and friends liked the action, how many Americans will change their view to pro for it, or total negativity. The final tally will show the strength of the squad and their support in America. If they get a thumbs up, Houston we have a problem!

Nancy did it to make her the topic of conversation instead of Trump and his speech. It was a planned, calculated move that nobody will remember a month from now
 
She'll be part of the new super majority in 2021.

I don't think The Anti-Christ is going to be vying for the DemNazi nomination this year, so I think they lose about 24 seats over this & The Don wins by a Landslide.
