House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) had the last laugh after President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, but she’s not done riding that wave yet.

The congresswoman is now selling T-shirts and tote bags emblazoned with illustrations of her iconic and quite literal clapback to the president’s speech last month, above the words “Patron Saint of Shade.”

Nancy Pelosi for Congress

The new line of made-in-America merch runs from $22 to $25 and is being sold on her congressional campaign website; purchases are considered contributions to her campaign.

Despite widespread assumptions that Pelosi’s seemingly snide SOTU applause was intended as a jab at Trump, she told reporters shortly after the address that “it wasn’t sarcastic,” People magazine reported. Still, the show of sass sent the congresswoman skyrocketing into memeified glory that was practically made for Twitter.

Pelosi’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether her initial comment on the sincerity of her clap still stands.
