‘Two can play at this game.’ NC Sen. Tillis posts video tearing articles of impeachment
Sen. Thom Tillis, a Republican from North Carolina, posted a video on social media of him tearing the articles of impeachment after the Senate voted to acquit President Donald Trump.
The video comes after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tore up her copy of Trump’s speech after the State of the Union address Tuesday night.
Earlier that night, Trump didn’t shake Pelosi’s outstretched hand as he climbed the House rostrum, the Associated Press reports.
“Two can play this game, @SpeakerPelosi,” Tillis tweeted along with the video. “Glad to finally put impeachment in the rear view mirror so we can get back to work for the people of North Carolina.”
