WATCH: Pelosi’s Eyes Pop Out of Her Head When President Calls Out Her State’s Sanctuary Laws
The President’s State of the Union address last night had quite a few surprises in it.
There was Rush Limbaugh receiving the Medal of Freedom, there was the scholarship and school choice that the President awarded to the young girl, the Democrats refusing to applaud anything that touted America although that wasn’t so surprising.
But one of the best surprises was the surprise that Nancy Pelosi felt when President Trump started talking about how California allowed an innocent man to be killed.
Watch the reaction on Pelosi’s face when he starts talking about her state:
How out of touch is @SpeakerPelosi re: sanctuary city killings? I present… #SOTU pic.twitter.com/SrXK0k4lGQ

Here is what President Trump went on to say about the law in California:
“The State of California passed an outrageous law declaring their whole State to be a sanctuary for criminal illegal immigrants — with catastrophic results.
Here is just one tragic example. In December 2018, California police detained an illegal alien with five prior arrests, including convictions for robbery and assault. But as required by California’s Sanctuary Law, local authorities released him.
Days later, the criminal alien went on a gruesome spree of deadly violence. He viciously shot one man going about his daily work; he approached a woman sitting in her car and shot her in the arm and the chest. He walked into a convenience store and wildly fired his weapon. He hijacked a truck and smashed into vehicles, critically injuring innocent victims. One of the victims of his bloody rampage was a 51-year-old American named Rocky Jones. Rocky was at a gas station when this vile criminal fired eight bullets at him from close range, murdering him in cold blood.
Rocky left behind a devoted family, including his brothers who loved him more than anything. One of his grieving brothers is here with us tonight. Jody, would you please stand? Jody, our hearts weep for your loss — and we will not rest until you have justice.
Senator Thom Tillis has introduced legislation to allow Americans like Jody to sue Sanctuary Cities and States when a loved one is hurt or killed as a result of these deadly policies. I ask the Congress to pass the Justice for Victims of Sanctuary Cities Act immediately. The United States of America should be a sanctuary for law-abiding Americans — not criminal aliens!”
In the last 3 years, ICE has arrested over 5,000 wicked human traffickers — and I have signed 9 pieces of legislation to stamp out the menace of human trafficking, domestically and around the globe.
My Administration has undertaken an unprecedented effort to secure the southern border of the United States…
