Trump shares edited video of Pelosi appearing to 'stammer' through speeches
President Trump shared an edited video of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday, mocking the Democratic leader for various moments during a press conference earlier in the day where Pelosi appeared to misspeak.
Trump tweeted the video with the caption: “PELOSI STAMMERS THROUGH NEWS CONFERENCE."
The video, which first appeared on Fox Business's "Lou Dobbs Tonight," cut together a number of Pelosi's apparent flubs in quick succession, but did not appear to be altered in any other way.
Earlier Thursday, a number of videos shared by conservative accounts went viral—those clips were falsely edited to make Pelosi appear as if she was slurring her words due to intoxication. The video Trump shared did not appear to have the same alterations.
His tweet came hours after YouTube removed altered videos of Pelosi following requests for comment from The Hill and other news outlets, though falsely edited videos of the speaker remained on Facebook into Thursday evening.
"YouTube has clear policies that outline what content is not acceptable to post and we remove videos violating these policies when flagged to us. These videos violated our policies and have been removed," a spokesperson for YouTube told The Hill.
The president had also shared other criticism of Pelosi's speech habits throughout the night on Twitter, including a tweet quoting GOP campaign consultant Ed Rollins, who appeared on Dobbs's show, saying Pelosi was unable to "put a subject with a predicate in the same sentence."
