Ripping up the State of the Union speech last night was not the only tense moment between President Donald Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
At the start of the address last night, it looks like Pelosi tried to offer her hand, looking for a handshake. That offer was rejected.
The president approached the dais after greeting members of Congress and handed a binder with his prepared remarks to Vice President Pence and Pelosi. After taking the binder, Pelosi extended her hand apparently for a handshake, but Trump turned away without acknowledging it.
Of course the left is all upset about this (yet fine with Pelosi ripping up the speech). But what they seem to ignore is that Trump didn't shake Vice President Mike Pence's hand either. However, Pence didn't offer his hand up in the first place.
Check out the video below and decide for yourself. From the looks of it, the President wasn't aware Pelosi was trying to shake his hand.
