If it is not your president in office, you do not attend the state of the union speech. I suspect the next GOP president will end up with a lot of empty Dem chairs when the time comes. The GOP has become the divide the nation party and tonight is no exemption. I am really getting sick of the pettiness of the GOP as a party. they should call themselves the Trump party and move on.

Someone seems to forget the Democrats boycotting Trumps speech if they think this is unprecedented

I’m finding it incredibly annoying that some women in congress have chosen to wear either red or blue. We are one ****ing country for chrissake.

I believe there was a requirement to provide a negative Covid test prior to entry. I guess there were some who didn't want to do that.

Trump refused to shake her outstretched hand before the speech (how’s that for pettiness) and lied obviously quite a bit during the speech. That’s why she tore it up.

So both proved they can be petty. Earth shattering...

You have that one right, but this is perhaps for different reasons.

We all now understand how serious Trump takes the handling of official govt documents.

That's a hell of an irony - complaining about HER tearing up a trump document. Then he had the gall to say that her tearing a document was illegal.
