President Trump, former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Fox News have each disseminated a doctored video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with her speech slurred and appearing intoxicated.
Why? Could it because Trump is tired of being outmaneuvered by Pelosi? Could it be that Trump wants people to forget that he called upon former FBI Director James Comey and three other former FBI officials to be prosecuted for treason earlier today? Whatever the reason, Trump and company have decided to gaslight Pelosi and cast aspersions upon her character. It won't matter if the video has been doctored. There is a significant segment of the population who do not trust the media and will only accept "alternative facts" as presented by President Trump and his allies.
And make no mistake. Trump is only getting warmed up as he prepares for re-election next year. Whoever the Democrats nominate or come close to nominating will get a thousand times the fire and fury that was directed at Pelosi this evening. The shame of it is that it just might be enough to get Trump re-elected.
