House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., didn’t appear to care all that much for President Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday evening.

In fact, at one point in the speech, when the president said that “we must reject the politics of revenge, resistance and retribution and embrace the boundless potential of cooperation, compromise and the common good,” Pelosi appeared to respond with applause that can most charitably be described as sarcastic. It was an interesting moment, and it was certainly entertaining so far as the drama of U.S. politics is concerned.

But the response to the sarcastic clap from certain newsrooms and reporters has been, shall we say, a bit overenthusiastic.

“How Nancy Pelosi's 'f*** you' clapping stole Trump’s thunder,” read a headline published by the U.K.’s Independent.

The Week’s Speed Reads shares that “Nancy Pelosi's enigmatic golf clap at Trump was at least as memorable as Trump's State of the Union speech.”

“Nancy Pelosi literally 'claps back' at Trump's State of the Union,” gushed one Mashable headline, using slang that the 78-year-old has surely never heard of.

“The clap that says ‘one of us is a prison bitch. And the other is Nancy Fucking Pelosi,’” beamed Huffington Post blogger Bryan Behar. An odd moment to make light of prison rape, but ... well, whatever.

Slate’s Christina Cauterucci said, in reference to a children’s song, “Nancy Pelosi distracts out-of-control toddler with rendition of ‘Baby Shark.’”

New York Times contributor Melissa Blake said elsewhere, “Clear the way!! My 2019 mood has officially arrived!! Nancy Pelosi is my spirit animal.”

“When bless your heart means everything but bless your heart. The Pelosi clap is 2019 energy,” said the Boston Globe’s Jeneé Osterheldt.

Even NBC News’ relatively staid Kasie Hunt referred to the photo as “iconic” and “everything,” whatever that means. For further context, here’s how infamous #resistance grifter Scott Dworkin reacted to the Pelosi clap:

Trump got owned.

If you’re in the news media covering politics, and your reaction to a political moment is totally indistinguishable from the reaction of a known grifter and partisan activist, maybe it’s time to step back and re-evaluate how you look at and tweet about politics.
