House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) responded to questions on whether he would tear up President Biden’s State of the Union speech as former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) did to former President Trump in 2020, stating he does not believe in such “theatrics.”
“A lot of people have been asking if I’m planning on ripping up President Biden’s speech tonight. Here’s my answer,” McCarthy said on social media Tuesday morning, providing a clip of his answer.
“You know, I don’t believe in the theatrics of tearing up speeches. I respect the other side. I can disagree on policy, but I want to make sure this country is stronger, economically sound,

Good, Mr. Speaker. You show a helluva lot more class and decency than Nanie and her dim drones could ever hope to.

“I respect the other side”…
That’s your first mistake. McCarthy should hold up an (unused) Depends®️ and cut it in half.

Bring a paper shredder to the Congressional chamber instead.

All on conservative side should pull a balloon out of their pockets and start blowing up, tie the end and let them loose. Would be right up there with the all white apparel of the other side a couple of years ago when PDJT was giving the state of our union.

Good for you Mr.Speaker. Keep to the moral high road; you'll never run into a democrat up there.
I suppose you think you know what's in that speech, but you're wrong. Joe doesn't know, so how can you.
But the dems have you're predictability to rely on, no matter what falls out of the turnip's mouth.

This is wise because:
A) A certain percentage of the electorate will vote Democrat no matter what
B) A certain percentage of the electorate will vote Republican no matter what
C) A large percentage in the middle don't follow politics closely and can be turned off by juvenile stunts like Nancy's.
D) We need the people in the middle in order to win because there are not enough in Category A alone to do the trick.

“I respect the other side.” That’s your main problem, Kev.

That was the most despicable thing I ever saw Pelosi do and that’s saying something. I would be livid if McCarthy pulled the same stunt.

Instead of posturing Kevin why don't you make the point that Pelosi destroyed a government document. I'm sure you guys have laws against that kind of thing. S/

It won't happen, but McCarthy should announce "Welcome to the State of Confusion! Ladies, Gentlemen and Democrats, I present the faux resident of the United States." While Brandon is staggering to the podium, have Nena's song "99 Red Balloons" playing over the chamber speakers. Then fire up a barbecue pit in front of the Speaker's chair, and feed every page of the speech after Brandon says "Pause. End of page. Turn the page, stupid."

He deftly characterized it as a dramatic gesture. The Speaker is supposed to be above drama.
I also like it that the bill that bans congressional (insider) stock trading will forever bear her name ….

Class move, Mr. Speaker. And I can't imagine any of our ladies on the Right side of the aisle showing up in the same color outfit like the immature women they have to share the House with.
Also, wonder how Paulie P. finagled an invite to sit with Dr. Jill and if he's still wearing that hat and glove.
Should be an interesting evening. Think I'll join Vodka Pundit to help get me through it.

Kevin believes in turning the other cheek, and doing nothing.
