Matt Gaetz Files Ethics Complaint Against Nancy Pelosi: Tearing Up Glorious Leader’s Speech Was A Violation

The New York Post reports:

Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz filed an ethics complaint against Nancy Pelosi that said the House speaker possibly violated numerous House rules — and maybe even broke the law — by tearing up a copy of President Trump’s State of the Union speech.

The Florida legislator sent a letter to the House Committee on Ethics requesting that it open an investigation and shared the missive on Twitter. Gaetz wrote that “Speaker Pelosi’s gesture was deeply offensive and appears to violate clauses 1 and 2 of House Rule XXIII,” which dictate the House’s official code of conduct.

“Her behaviour does not ‘reflect creditably on the House,’ nor does it follow ‘the spirit and the letter of the Rules of the House.’”

A Trump cultist daring to use the word “ethics” will surely be the most laughable thing you’ll read today.

BREAKING: I’m filing an ethics complaint against @SpeakerPelosi for destroying @realDonaldTrump‘s State of the Union speech.

Her conduct was beneath the dignity of the House, and a potential violation of law (18 USC 2071).
