Nancy Pelosi and Democratic women upstage Donald Trump at State of the Union address

Pelosi slightly shook her head in disagreement. She frequently checked her copy of the president’s speech. She visibly scoffed in disbelief

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi delivered a vivid Democratic response to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address — without speaking a word.

When Trump delivered the traditional line that “the state of our union is strong,” Pelosi just slightly shook her head in disagreement. She frequently checked her copy of the president’s speech as he delivered, grimacing at some lines, placidly skimming others.

She visibly scoffed in disbelief when Trump said only “politics or ridiculous partisan investigations” can slow down the “economic miracle” of the U.S. The speaker’s political Twitter account almost simultaneously defended Congress’s constitutional oversight responsibility.
