Squad praises Pelosi for tearing up Trump's SOTU speech

The group of far-left freshman congresswomen known as the “Squad” may have feuded with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the past, but they showed solidarity with the Democratic leader after she made a public display of tearing up a copy of President Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday night.

Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., all reacted with apparent endorsements of Pelosi's actions. While the House speaker drew criticism from Republicans, Tlaib -- who walked out mid-speech -- said she would have gone even further.

"I would have shredded it," she tweeted.

Omar tweeted a gif of Pelosi's past State of the Union behavior to show her appreciation.
