House Democrats shut down GOP attempt to admonish Pelosi over ripping SOTU
House Democrats on Thursday backed Speaker Nancy Pelosi in voting to kill a Republican resolution to disapprove of her ripping up President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech.
Texas GOP Rep. Kay Granger, who’s facing a competitive primary this cycle, offered the resolution as a question of privilege, which forces the House to consider the measure. Rather than allow an up or down vote, Democratic leaders moved to table the resolution, which effectively kills it.
The motion to table was adopted, 224-193, along party lines. Independent Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan voted with the Democrats to kill the resolution.
Granger’s resolution notes that Pelosi ripped up an official copy of Trump’s SOTU speech, which included the names and stories of “American heroes and their families” that have made sacrifices on behalf of the country.
