Doctored Video Showing "Drunk" Nancy Pelosi Retweeted by Trump Lawyer Rudy Giuliani
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This comes as a doctored video of Pelosi went viral in right-wing social
media circles. The video, edited from an appearance by Pelosi this week
at the Center for American Progress, was slowed down to 75% speed in
order to make Pelosi sound as though she was slurring her words. By
Thursday night, versions of the video had circulated to millions of
social media users, many of whom commented that they believed Pelosi was
drunk. The video was also shared by President Trump's attorney Rudy
Giuliani, who tweeted-and later deleted-the comment, "What is wrong with
Nancy Pelosi? Her speech pattern is bizarre." Meanwhile, President Trump
retweeted a mashup video of Pelosi edited by the Fox Business channel
with the caption, "PELOSI STAMMERS THROUGH NEWS CONFERENCE."
