Nancy Pelosi’s Staff Demands Takedown of ‘Deceptively Altered’ Video of Her SOTU Tantrum

A video shared by President Trump showing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) tearing apart the State of the Union address has amassed over 18 million views on social media despite her allies’ efforts to convince platforms to remove it.

The video, posted by the president last week, shows Pelosi tearing up the State of the Union address and highlights memorable moments of the speech, such as Trump honoring 100-year-old Tuskegee Airman Gen. Charles McGee. It has now surpassed 11 million views on Twitter, 3.1 million views on Facebook, and 4.1 million views on Instagram:

The video, titled “Powerful American Stories Ripped To Shreds By Nancy Pelosi,” has drawn criticism from Democrats, who claim it is misleading:

“Researchers say the Pelosi video is an example of a ‘cheapfake’ video, one that has been altered but not with sophisticated AI like in a deepfake,” the Associated Press reported.

Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff Drew Hammill asserted that the video was “deliberately designed to mislead and lie to the American people” and blasted social media platforms for failing to remove it.

I don’t think the video is misleading at all. When she ripped up his speech, she absolutely spit in the face of every last person honored that night, even called them “lies”.

Here is the vid.........

Trump played her like a pro, he purposely didn’t shake her hand knowing it would drive her nuts and make her do something stupid and it did. His whole speech she looked like she was about to explode, she was enraged and was hellbent on getting revenge only she created optics that exposed her for the witch she is. Well played sir, well played.

I think yesterday they were calling it a “Deepfake” video. Until people pointed out that it was nothing of the kind. It’s not modified. It’s just repeated. So now they call it a “Cheapfake”.

Pathetic. She did what she did. Own it.

She needs to be more concerned w/ that 60 Minutes IPO video that just resurfaced. Going viral.

[JPJones]

STFU Nanzi.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Seriously? Is that about her 2011 trading on insider info? Oh wow I hope we are finally seeing the end of this b**ch once and for all.

[SMARTY]

Choices, Nancy.

Choices.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

LOL! She is he definition of why we need term limits. Her and Schmucky Schumer who never held a job in his life other than politics. He graduated law school in 1975 and went right into politics, never practiced law. Freakin’ 45 years!! It’s ridiculous, and dangerous. Look at Ted Kennedy, freakin killer reelected for 50 years.

I think she needs to take it up with President trump. He’s the one that posted it.

Sorry #pettypelosi, we cannot unsee what has been seen.

Your little temper tantrum is pure gold

[Cowboy Bob]

She wouldn't be complaining if it didn't hurt her or the Democrats.

[jughandle]

So yet again we ogres lack the intelligence and take it the wrong way, right Nancy?

[liberalh8ter]

She did what she did. Own it.

Especially since she said she was proud of what she had done. Does she even lie about her own feelings?

[originalbuckeye]

Please expand, what video?

When asked about why she tore up the speech, Pelosi responded, "It was the courteous thing to do considering the alternative. It was such a dirty speech." The Blaze.com

“I didn’t go in there to tear up the speech, and I didn’t even care that he didn’t shake my hand, in fact, who cares?” She said. “I knew it was a pack of lies, but I thought, ‘Well, let’s see how it goes.’ About a quarter through it I thought, ‘You know – he’s selling a bill of goods like a snake oil salesman. We cannot let this – we cannot let this stand.’ So, somewhere along the way realizing what was coming, realizing I started to stack my papers in a way that were tear-able – and tear-able – and terrible. So, again, there was no plan.” ABCnews.com

These quotes explain why it is *completely* appropriate to intersperse the clip of Nancy tearing up the speech with the clips of Trump recognizing people and talking about the great state of the economy. She called the entire speech a lie; therefore, she called those people a lie and the great economy a lie. She *was* tearing up all of that. Perhaps she should have thought through the optics a little bit more before deciding to tear up the speech. If she is upset now at having it pointed out exactly what she tore up, I have no sympathy for her--she brought it entirely on herself.
