Well, we have yet another bizarre video from Nancy Pelosi.
Many of the online commentators are asking if she was drinking before making this speech or just breaking down….
We would never say those things, but we’ve got the video below for you so you can judge for yourself.
Here are the details.
From BigLeaguePolitics:
The holidays can become such a blur: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years all tend to run together, including Valentine’s Day, according to the Speaker of the House.
Thursday, February 14th Speaker Nancy Pelosi signed a border security compromise bill intended to avoid a government shutdown in which she wished everyone a Happy Valentine’s day afterward. Then things got weird.
Known for her brain freezes and misspeaks, Madame Speaker said on Thursday:
“Thank all of you, Happy Valentine’s Day. We saluted our victory – or the victory for the American people – earlier with chocolate. Chocolate from California, I call it the champagne of chocolate. So again, I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. You should go home now to your loved ones.”
Sparking immediate reaction, those standing behind Pelosi started chuckling at the Thanksgiving comment.California Rep. Pete Aguilar who laughed and said “Thanksgiving?”, according to CBS News.
Once again, Madame Speaker, drinking prior to signing bills is not recommended and highly discourage. Merry Christmas!
And from local CBS:
The House voted Thursday to pass a compromise bill on border security hours after the Senate overwhelmingly approved it, averting a second shutdown in two months. The White House said President Donald Trump will sign the bill and declare a national emergency to bolster border security beyond the funding provided in the bill.
After the signing, Pelosi addressed the crowd of reporters and politicians on Capitol Hill.
“Happy Valentine’s Day. We saluted our victory – or the victory for the American people – earlier with chocolate. Chocolate from California, I call it the champagne of chocolate. So again, I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. You should go home now to your loved ones,” she said.
Those standing behind the speaker immediately reacted to Pelosi’s comment, including California Rep. Pete Aguilar who laughed and said “Thanksgiving?”
The bill passed in both chambers by large bipartisan majorities – 83 to 16 in the Senate, and 300 to 128 in the House.
