House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) completely snubbed a 4th-grade girl during the President’s State of the Union address Tuesday evening. The President proudly announced that the girl who was present in the gallery from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, would be granted a scholarship to attend a school of her choice.
“I can proudly announce tonight that an Opportunity Scholarship has become available, it is going to you, and you will soon be heading to the school of your choice,” said President Trump to his guest, 4th-grade student Janiyah Davis.
As others in the chamber including some Democrats rose to applaud and celebrate, Speaker Pelosi remained seated.
The President then said:
“To rescue these students, 18 States have created school choice in the form of Opportunity Scholarships. The programs are so popular that tens of thousands of students remain on waiting lists. One of those students is Janiyah Davis, a fourth grader from Philadelphia.
Janiyah’s mom, Stephanie is a single parent. She would do anything to give her daughter a better future. But last year, that future was put further out of reach when Pennsylvania’s Governor vetoed legislation to expand school choice for 50,000 children. Janiyah and Stephanie are in the gallery this evening.
But there is more to their story. Janiyah, I am pleased to inform you that your long wait is over. I can proudly announce tonight that an Opportunity Scholarship has become available, it is going to you, and you will soon be heading to the school of your choice.
Now, I call on the Congress to give one million American children the same opportunity Janiyah has just received,” he added. “Pass the Education Freedom Scholarships and Opportunity Act — because no parent should be forced to send their child to a failing government school.”

This wasn’t Pelosi’s only stunt of the evening, the woman had a nervous breakdown. At some points during the speech she was muttering to herself, her face was contorting, and when the President concluded speaking she tore up the speech.

In this speech President Trump:
– Honored 100-year old Tuskegee airman
– Honored parents whose daughter was killed by terrorists
– Honored mother who lost military spouse
– Reunited military dad with his sobbing familyThis is what Pelosi thinks of it:
