In an interview on Fox and Friends, Vice President Mike Pence, said, “I didn’t see her do it. I found out just a few moments later, and I think it was a new low. I wasn’t sure if she was ripping up the speech or ripping up the Constitution.”
He added, “There’s always a basic decorum and basic respect. But to have her stand up and tear up that speech really dishonored the moment, and I really thought it was beneath the dignity of a joint session of Congress, and I think it will be remembered as such.”
Responding to Pence’s comments, Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff, Drew Hammill said, The Vice President’s complicity in last night’s reality show is disgusting. He is in no position to lecture anyone about the Constitution, decorum or respect as he cheerleads the mistruths of his master.”
