Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Sunday that she didn't intend to tear up President Donald Trump's 2020 State of the Union address during a moment when the speech went viral at the time. The action, which occurred in February 2018, was seen as a dramatic gesture by some as a response to what Pelosi called 'alternative facts'. However, Pelosi revealed that her intention behind ripping up the speech was not to make a statement about Trump's words but rather to preserve a piece of paper. The gesture has become an enduring symbol of her relationship with Trump and the 2018 State of the Union address.
