• Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tried to mock House Speaker Nancy Pelosi by comparing her to Lisa Simpson from "The Simpsons."
• Pelosi ripped up the transcript of President Donald Trump's State of the Union address, which came just a day before the Senate will vote to convict or acquit the president on two articles of impeachment.
• "The Simpsons" meme that Pompeo tweeted is Lisa crying and ripping up her speech on democracy after witnessing a politician accepting a bribe.
• After being disheartened by the blatant disrespect for democracy, Lisa gave an impassioned speech to her school, calling Washington a "swamp" that has the "fetid stench of corruption that hangs in the air."
