However, Pelosi was unapologetic and told the press that that was the right thing to do
“It was the courteous thing to do considering other alternatives,” she said in a brief response to the journalist’s query.
In a tweet she later posted, Pelosi said that she would not allow lies to be told in the floor since she believed the President was lying about his achievements
“The manifesto of mistruths presented in page after page of the address tonight should be a call to action for everyone who expects truth from the President and policies worthy of his office and the American people,” she tweeted.
