BREAKING: Chair Rules Pelosi Destroyed “Document Of The House”
The House Republican Conference Chair has just ruled that Nancy Pelosi destroyed a “document of the House” by ripping up President Trump’s signed copy of the State of The Union Address.
This decision comes from Liz Cheney, the third-ranking position of GOP leadership. Although the future is uncertain, this makes it clear that Speaker Pelosi violated U.S. code on February 4th.
The Chair just ruled that the signed copy of POTUS’ SOTU address destroyed last night by @SpeakerPelosi was “a document of the House.”

“He shredded the truth so I shredded his speech.”
This premeditated publicity stunt has backfired in many ways, and it could result in serious consequences including removal from office for Pelosi.
