A video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), with the audio slowed to make her speech sound drunkenly slurred, is permeating the social media landscape, already infiltrating Facebook, Twitter and Youtube.

The video is from Pelosi’s Wednesday speech at the Center for American Progress. The Washington Post reported on the spread of the video.

The Facebook video in particular has already been shared more than 35,000 times. And based on some of the nearly 7,000 comments, viewers are buying it hook, line and sinker.

“Good Lord lady…How many drinks did you have today..” one commenter wrote.

“Omg is she drunk or having a stroke??? Bet that makes the Dems so proud of their Leader, LMAO,” another said.

Stunning how fast RW propaganda circulates

[Achilleaze]

6. republicans get Bigly Darkside Help from America's enemy*

All US Intelligence Agencies agree that Evil Empire* Russia has been, and is, engaged in ACTS OF WAR against US democracy. repubes think this is hunky dory, and thereby further betray the USA.

* per ronald freaking reagan

2. The corrupt meme machine of the reTHUGlicans is just gearing up,

as we can see from the whispers being produced about Democratic politicians and candidates.
Innuendos that are being presented concerning Elizabeth Warren are typical of these corrupt efforts.
We have to resist and push back. As long as we have the truth on our side our response can be so devastating to them and satisfying for us!

[TwilightZone]

3. And millions of people are stupid enough to believe it without question.

And we wonder how we ended up with Trump....

[NewJeffCT]

8. yes - I remember back in 2016

there was a meme that went around about the Pope endorsing Donald Trump. It was shared something like 1.5 million times just on Facebook. The snopes and factcheck.org articles debunking the Pope story were shared like 25,000 times.

This went around a few months after Trump insulted the Pope on Twitter or in a speech.

4. When I see it posted, I'll ask the poster why they need to make things up to be critical. nt

5. I watched her presser.

She was just fine.

[NurseJackie]

7. I've seen that effect used on Trump... only... we were SMART ENOUGH to know it has been manipulated!

[Glorfindel]

9. Sickening, but typical rePuke bullshit.

The people toward whom it's aimed will totally fall for it, though.

10. I half speed Тяцмр videos all the time for the same reason.

They’re so far behind the times. Always copycatting.

[FakeNoose]

11. Don't they know that the "libruls" can do the same to them?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. Would any self-respective progressive or liberal do such a thing, though?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. The fake stuff is going to get worse before it gets better.

Some walking among us will live on completely alternate planets.

[Mc Mike]

14. Funny, coz there's legit footage of rump slurring and mispronouncing words, several times.

So the repuglinazis and putin keyboard commandos fake some footage to make it look like his opponent is like him.

They have no problems with him actually BEING that way, though.

[snort]

15. Big problem with the theme here:

Coherency.

[TeamPooka]

16. The GOP are scared shitless of Nancy Pelosi. Hence the attacks. Scared shitless.

quaking and shaking

17. More about fakes

18. And heeeere's Corey Lewandowski promoting it On Lou Dobbs tonight.

Video at swag's link at post 17 above. New txt below.

I suspect they’ll be a big part of the 2020 campaign story. In any case, who made the Pelosi videos? I suspect this isn’t just some random hoaxster. I suspect there are bigger players behind it.

But note this. I happened to flip on Lou Dobbs show a short while ago – just randomly turned it on. And there was Corey Lewandowski, one time Trump campaign manager and now outside advisor to the President clearly referencing this faked videos as real and discrediting. The news conclusively showing they were phonies came out in the afternoon. This is a few hours later.

19. Same thing was done to Hillary in 2016.

[Mc Mike]

21. They also circulated altered video footage to pretend Jim Acosta attacked a young WH press aide.

To justify getting rid of his press access.

[IcyPeas]

20. Jimmy Kimmel's been doing it for years:

It's just a "bit".

[turbinetree]

22. What does and is Facebook, Twitter and Youtube going to do about this shit..........................

make ad money to fill there confers and pay zero taxes............................but enable this propaganda..................do your fucking job, this is not funny..........................

[truthisfreedom]

23. The difference between Jimmy Kimmel's drunk 45 bit

And this thing is this is being spread as if it’s real and Jimmy always prefaces his bit with clarification.

[Initech]

24. Any way to get that video reported as harassment?

Because that's complete harassment, borderline hate speech. It needs to be removed.
