Nancy Pelosi’s Bizarre House Floor Rant Sparks Theories Online: ‘Lost Her Mind’
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s impassioned plea about the social media giant TikTok not only captured the attention of her colleagues but also set the internet abuzz with myriad interpretations and theories.
During her sloppy speech, Pelosi made an intriguing analogy to the classic game of tic-tac-toe to underscore her claim that the proposed legislation from Congress was improving TikTok rather than banning it.
“This is not a ban on TikTok. It’s an attempt to make TikTok better. Tic-tac-toe. A winner! A winner!” Pelosi exclaimed, using hand gestures to illustrate her point.
“The people of China have come forth… they are suppressed. They cannot put their message out,” Pelosi claimed.” A winner. And here’s what I have to say. The people of China have come forth. The Tibetans have come forth and said on TikTok in China, they are suppressed. ”
WATCH:
In the wake of Pelosi’s comments, social media users offered a starkly different interpretation. One user wrote, “Nancy Pelosi is lying to you about the TikTok ban.”
Nancy Pelosi is lying to you about the Tik Tok ban.
