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.

Since when do public figures have the ability to control what is said about them? Short of making threats, since when is it not protected free speech?

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”.

And to claim that the video was "deceptively" altered is just as fraudulent. The alteration was so glaringly obvious you'd have to be brain-dead to miss it.

Funny how Nancy Pelosi's staff lacks the intellectual honesty and the moral courage to be simply accurate: that they object solely to the powerful point this very video drives home. That they object to nothing more than this: Nancy's own childish and intemperate behavior rightly deserves to be pounded mercilessly.

She has long beclowned herself. For years. At the SOTU, she sophomorically sullied the very Speakership itself. The video merely demonstrates this.

Which, of course, in her and in her staff's eyes, means the video must be disappeared. Wouldn't want those rubes in "flyover country" to see just how venal she is, dontcha know.

Agreed. Is the video edited? Sure. Is it misleading? Not at all. In fact it perfectly captures the essence of the battle. The leftist/socialist/fascist democrats are un-American and anti-American. Nancy Pelosi embodies that, and the video captures it beautifully.

she slighted him with her avoiding the traditional welcome to the President.

Uh, it's a bit bigger than that. She impeached him, and impeachment is forever. Wear it, Nancy.

I don't think he even realized her hand was for a handshake. And since the media is doing thier usual...OMG....look what he did...he has said nothing.

And she hadn't spoken to him since a meeting at the Whitehouse on Oct 16th...that she and Scvhumer and other Democrats walked out of.

And Nancy and Chuckie went right to the mikes outside....attacking our President as usual.

She gave them the ammunition. She should have thought about that before acting like a child throwing a tantrum.

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

What this means is Nancy realizes the optics are not as good as she imaged they would be.

Nancy did wrong. Now she wants to ban mention of what she did.

I'm just glad she let the hate she usually reserves for the unborn guide her on this decision.

It is really hurting them. I've had liberals who once loved her say not a fan. Then I told them yeah she might have just for all practical purposes torn up Roe vs. Wade, you know super majorities and another couple of supreme court picks. They went silent. I've stopped arguing politics with liberals and now just the mechanics just to illustrate how stupid and rotten these crooks are.

With the worlds greatest magician (applied psychologist) as president, president Trump has found possibly one of the more easily manipulated groups as his main opponent, the self hating malcontents of society, Democrats. He has them in knots. Just wait till they realize they need to spend way more time and money in the inner cities to protect previously safe house and senate seats.

Americans like this president, in Trump we have a winner for the nation and it is on track to to be one of the best presidencies ever -

Liberal and leftys are starting to get a very big helping of "Hey I told you so and shut the hell up we are done listening to your bitching". Exactly at the time they are going to get clobbered - this is epic
