As a meme page we like to avoid politics whenever necessary, but some memes just need to be documented. Last night's #SOTU address had several meme-y moments, from bullied Joshua Trump's nap to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's refusal to clap. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi did not share that sleepiness or reservation. Instead, her pointed clapping during one moment of President Trump's speech has been hailed as a clapback and has swiftly become a meme that hilariously eclipses politics. We're not sure if she was actively trying to throw shade at POTUS, but we are sure that this moment in meme history will not be forgotten.
Nancy Pelosi
In response to Donald Trump's remarks about the need to build a wall along the US-Mexico border, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer responded to the matter in a statement on Capitol Hill. People on the internet started noticing how...parental the two looked on television, which of course has sparked some hilarious memes.

Luke Russert asked Nancy Pelosi if she doesn't think she should step down in favor of someone younger. Pelosi answers, but makes sure he knows what a terrible question it was.
That is one nice blue outfit on you Pelosi
