Florida congressman, Matt Gaetz has filed an ethics complaint against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for tearing up her own copy of President Trump’s speech during the State of the Union address on Tuesday, saying she broke the law.

Pelosi, after sitting down for over an hour listening to Trump’s state of the union address, stood up after Trump ended his speech and in the front of cameras and the watching congress, tore her own copy of Trump’s speech.

Mr. Gaetz, one of Mr. Trump’s allies, termed Mrs. Pelosi’s gesture of tearing the speech as “beneath the dignity of the House, and a potential violation of law (18 USC 2071)” and urged her to resign.
