FFK labels Speaker Pelosi "senseless" for ripping Trump's speech

Femi Fani-Kayode has blasted the US' Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, for shredding the speech of President Donald Trump.

Fani-Kayode dropped a statement which condemns the act on Wednesday on his official Twitter account.

WHO IS NANCY PELOSI?

Nancy Patricia Pelosi is an American Democratic Party politician serving as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives.

WHY DID SHE RIP TRUMP'S SPEECH?

WHAT DID FFK SAY?

According to FFK, Speaker Pelosi's decision to rip Trumps speech is "senseless".

He said, "Tearing up @realDonaldTrump 's speech is the most senseless thing that @SpeakerPelosi has done. It is like tearing up the bag after the cat has jumped out. It is like burning down the stable after the horse had bolted. The speech had already been delivered and it was superb!"
