Fake Pelosi Videos Spread Across Social Media

“Distorted videos of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), altered to make her sound as if she’s drunkenly slurring her words, are spreading rapidly across social media, highlighting how political disinformation that clouds public understanding can now spread at the speed of the Web,” the Washington Post reports.

“The video of Pelosi’s onstage speech Wednesday at a Center for American Progress event, in which she said President Trump’s refusal to cooperate with congressional investigations was tantamount to a “coverup,” was subtly edited to make her voice sound garbled and warped. It was then circulated widely across Twitter, YouTube and Facebook.”

No, the president speaks clearly. It’s Pelosi who is crazy. Oh come on

This is all been reduced to baby talk. We are actually here in this country I love reduced to this.

The president/rump is on the level of the pretend peewee Herman.

He is a bully and an idiot. I understand what you are trying to say comparing Trump to Peewee Herman but he is more like Francis Buxton, Peewee's nemesis in Peewee's Big Adventure. A rich bratty idiot who tries to bully people.
