"Alright, they’re going to be talking about this forever — forever, forever, forever, forever," said Cavuto during Fox Business's post-State of the Union coverage Tuesday night. "History was made tonight. You could say you watched the State of the Union address where they advanced to something that we’ve never seen before: childish behavior that just really echoes for our times."

"Maybe it wasn’t a Churchill moment, maybe it wasn’t a Ronald Reagan or a JFK moment, but it was a moment you’ll never forget that defines the divisive times we had," the anchor added.

The perspective comes after Pelosi ripped a copy of the president's speech just as he wrapped up his 80-minute address. The moment has since dominated discourse on cable news and online.

Pelosi later told Fox News producer Jason Donner that ripping up the speech "was the courteous thing to do considering the alternatives.”

Vice President Pence, however, called Pelosi's action "a new low."

In an appearance on "Fox & Friends," the vice president said he "wasn't sure if she was ripping up the speech or ripping up the Constitution" when he saw Pelosi's gesture.

"I didn't see her do it; I found out just a few moments later. And I thought it was a new low," he added.

At the onset of the president's address, Pelosi had extended her hand to shake Trump's hand but was ignored.

Trump and Pelosi haven't spoken since right before she began impeachment proceedings against him in October, according to a Pelosi spokesperson.

The House voted to impeach Trump on charges of abusing his power and obstructing Congress. He is expected to be acquitted on Wednesday after a trial in the Senate.
