Democrats have caught the vapors after President Trump tweeted a montage of Nancy Pelosi tearing up a copy of his State of the Union speech after various honorees received accolades.
While Pelosi actually tore up the speech after Trump was finished giving it, the clip tweeted by Trump encapsulates a widely-shared sentiment among conservatives; that Pelosi’s theatrics were deeply insulting to those honored during the speech - including a former Tuskegee Airman, a low income family who received a scholarship, and several others.

Perhaps most triggered of all was top Pelosi aide Drew Hammill, who got in a Twitter argument with Facebook spox Andy Stone.
“The American people know that the President has no qualms about lying to them – but it is a shame to see Twitter and Facebook, sources of news for millions, do the same,” said Hammill, adding “The latest fake video of Speaker Pelosi is deliberately designed to mislead and lie to the American people…” to which Sovern replied “Sorry, are you suggesting the President didn’t make those remarks and the Speaker didn’t rip the speech?”

As the 2020 presidential election approaches, Facebook and Twitter have published their own policies on deepfakes and edited videos like this Pelosi clip. Facebook’s policy only affects videos that were created by artificial intelligence or machine learning algorithms that would “likely mislead” someone. Twitter announced its own rules this week that don’t take effect until March. But its rules state that manipulated media that is “likely to impact public safety or cause serious harm” could be labeled or removed. -The Verge
Other triggered leftists include Reps. David Cicilline (D-RI) and Ro Khanna (D-CA), according to The Verge. Khanna notably included Trump’s tweet in his own, exposing an entirely different demographic to the clip.
.@Twitter must take this misleading video about @SpeakerPelosi down now.
Social media platforms are a place where people come for news & information.
They need to have certain standards.
Falsity has never been part of our 1st Amendment tradition. https://t.co/dwiDeKNd3D

We’re so sorry this is happening to them.

all those white suits I see in the SOTU video… I can’t remember being told exactly what they mean…. but it seems that they are being proud of their status as UnAmerican, Racist, Elite, Ignorant Witches.
Maybe they are the female branch of the Klu Klux Klan, but just forgot to wear their white hoods. After all, the Democrats created the KKK right after the end of the civil war (or the war between the states, if you’re southern).
Exactly. Most are now history.
Notice in this article it says ‘The American people know President Trump has no qualms in lying to the American people…! Watch out for misleading headlines of the bought out biased medias propaganda LIES!
If I were Pelosi or Schiff I’d be very careful who I accuse of lying. They are two of the biggest liars on the planet! If they couldn’t tell lies, they wouldn’t be able to utter a word. Madman Schiff is losing it and Nanzi lost it a long time ago. Somebody please throw them out with the trash! Oh, and throw Nadless out with them. Good grief.
All they needed were WHITE HOODS, spoken on air by a black woman, and she was right…WE all know that the Dems. have aleways been a RACIST PARTY…JIM CROW, KKK, THE VOTE AGAINST THE 1964 CIVIL RIGHTS ACT…..The ripping of the SPEECH was a SLAM agaionst those Americans he honored, the DEMS. NOT standing was a slam against thos Americands honored…JUST BECAUSE THEY HATE THIS PRES> THEY STILL SHOULD HAVE STOOD UP AND CHEERED THOSE HONORED. BTW…THEY HATE HIM BECAUSE BY DRAINING THE SWAMP HE IS CUTTING THEM OFF FROM THE MONEY AND POWER THEY GET FROM UNDEMINING THE COUNTRY.
If what pelosi did offended the dems this bad instead of crying about social media showing it complain to pelosi for doing it.
Someone once asked Palosi if she had ever had sex? She said Gods don’t have sex! “And now you know”
‘War of Northern Aggression’, thank you
Northern aggression? Then tell me Exactly who fired the first shots at Ft. Sumter? And who laid siege on said Fort? War of the Rebellion is what it was!!
Once again the destructive nature of the democrats was on public display following the SOTU. And we want these people representing “We the People” … I don’t think so. Time to escort out of House and Senate come November 2020. KAG TRUMP / PENCE 2020.
ALL THE CORRUPT DEMOCRATS ARE LIARS.
If Democrats want any support from the public they need to support the public, rather than their own pocket-books! ! !
Amen to that and oh so true
DEMS Suck! They are our enemy enemy of every american citizen and outside the lib elite.
No more tolerance of these lib POS aholes.
“Misleading” Really, even though it is on video showing her doing just exactly what she is being accused of! these people are complete loons!
Dems and other liberals believe it is unfair to compare anything they said or did more than ten seconds ago to what they are saying or doing this moment.
Like Michael Brown of Ferguson, MO fame. His family claims showing the videos of him stealing merchandise and beating the clerk are “character assassination.”
The only thing for which anyone can remotely criticize that video, is that the events are out of sequence. I don’t think anyone tried to pretend that it was in sequence. The President did make those remarks, and at the end of the speech the Speaker did tear the transcript across.
Hey! A little of your OWN medicine, Dems. Doesn’t feel good to be manipulated, does it. But, Wait. Pelosi DID tear up the speech and ALL of what was Shown was in it. She hates everyone not of her ILK. Pelosi the rat droppings in the raisins, the cockroach in the cereal. You are the sickening element of humanity. God Bless Texas, God Bless America and God Bless President and First Lady Trump. hooyah
She has no brains!Glad she’s helping to elect Pres Trump for 4 more years!
MAGA TRUMP 2020!!!!!!S
The Dems have totally lost it….they are already planning a new impeachment…don’t know what they plan on calling it unless it will be “Someone wrote something in a book so it has to be true because I think it is and someone told me it is and I feel it is and I will get witnesses who feel and think the way I do and it does not matter if they have any lst hand knowledge of anything, and we will get a fake whistle blower and prep them all what to say in our hearing in a bunker and not allow any witness from the President or Republicans.
They have wasted $60 million of taxpayers money…and want to waste more!
TRUMP 2020……Take back the House an keep the Senate!!
Accuse your opponent of doing the same thing that you are doing in order to create confusion! Karl Marx. Karl would be really proud of the decietocrat-socialists! I also think it’s great that aoc and the squad is at odds with nasty piglosi who she called a racist!
It may as well been Our Constitution that Pelosi childishly ripped up. She probably wished it was. We American’s must stand against these anti American Democrats.
Poor Gran Nan from San Fran has had a bad couple of weeks. She was angry over having to be there, listening to someone she hates with passion. She tried to appease her extremist lefties, and look where it got her. She knows her political career is in serious jeopardy. Her base in San Fran is getting wiser, and those who can stomach the stink in her neighborhood are starting to ask questions. Even they know their lives are better, and she can’t explain why they should continue to hate Trump. 2020 election cycle is going to be exciting. The Durham report will come out right before the election, and so many of the current career demonrats will be caged, or will be trying to leave the country to avoid prosecution. Gran Nan took $750,000 from a Ukrainian oligarch, wonder how she’ll explain that? The anticipation (worry) is getting to all of the demons, and Trump is twisting the knife.
