Pelosi's tweet sought to underscore a moment earlier in the night when she attempted to shake Trump's hand before he delivered his speech.

Trump approach Pelosi and Vice President Pence and handed each of them a copy of his prepared remarks. Pelosi appeared to extend her hand to Trump, but he turned away without acknowledging Pelosi's gesture.

The president also did not shake Pence’s hand, though the vice president did not appear to extend his hand.
