Here’s the real thing Politics Updated on May 25, 2019 3:13 PM EDT — Published on May 24, 2019 5:36 PM EDT President Donald Trump used Twitter on Thursday to spread an edited video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the latest development in an ongoing fight between the president and the California Democrat. In a tweet that Trump labeled "PELOSI STAMMERS THROUGH NEWS CONFERENCE," the president shared a clip from the Fox Business Network show "Lou Dobbs Tonight" in which moments from Pelosi’s weekly news conference on Thursday had been manipulated. In the edited video, Pelosi’s normal pauses and stutters have been edited together to make her appear to stumble over words like "custody" and "border." In one section (around 12:43), the doctored video repeats a moment three extra times when Pelosi says the words "there are three things." What did Nancy Pelosi actually say?

Evidence (2019-11-05): No, there is something more important than money. You need to have voters. Trump showed Republicans how to get voters and I actually can't believe that they're not the ones who are holding Trump's feet to the fire to keep his agenda. [...] And, I mean, I think it's bad for me as an American but I'd say it's pretty bad for the whole rest of the world when America isn't out there as a force for good in the world. And we've tried to be. There's some times, many times I disagree with. I'm sure many times you disagree with. But we certainly try to go around the world making it better and saving people from warlords and sending in food and trying to shut down their drug dealers and defeating the Nazi war machine. When there's no America as a force for good in the world, I really think you're looking at a thousand years of darkness. So we gotta save ourselves. [...] MODERATOR: I think we've maybe got time for one more question.

Evidence (2024-07-13): "As one whose family has been the victim of political violence, I know firsthand that political violence of any kind has no place in our society," former House speaker and member of Congress Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in a statement. "I thank God that former President Trump is safe." Pelosi’s husband, Paul, was attacked in his home by a hammer-wielding assailant in an act of political violence. Last year, at an event in California, Trump made light of that attack. "How’s her husband doing by the way? Does anyone know?" he said to laughs, in reference to Paul Pelosi’s injuries from the attacks. [...] Maeve Reston contributed to this report.

Evidence (2019-05-24): We can all agree that Nancy Pelosi is driving Donald Trump crazy, by which I mean, of course, crazier than usual. We can agree, too, and that no one has ever gotten this far into his head — not Comey, not Mueller, not anyone. [...] Trump has spent the last few days on a Pelosi-inspired rampage. And it’s not just his recycled tirade that Pelosi has "lost it," that "she’s not the same," that she’s "a mess," that she can’t even understand Trump’s new North American trade agreement. [...] And so, understanding this dynamic, what Pelosi is saying instead is that Trump wants to be impeached. Seriously. Here’s the quote, as reported by several outlets, from a conversation she had with top Democratic lawmakers: "He wants to be impeached so he can be exonerated by the Senate. His actions are villainous to the constitution of the United States." This is a quote she wanted to be leaked.

Evidence (2019-07-15): House Democratic leaders announced Monday that they were preparing a resolution condemning Trump’s remarks. In a letter to Democratic colleagues, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) said Trump had gone "beyond his own low standards using disgraceful language about Members of Congress" and that Democrats would "forcefully respond to these disgusting acts." [...] Indeed, a House vote rebuking Trump’s tweets could unify a Democratic caucus that has been frayed by tensions. [...] Mike DeBonis and Felicia Sonmez contributed to this report.

Evidence (2020-07-29): Now imagine one more thing: That pool party, the mixer or family reunion you’re pushing for resulting in you being cold and alone in a hospital bed, fighting for your life. Imagine the only human contact you feel is a stranger’s rubber glove giving you medication, checking your vitals and changing your diaper. That is exactly what has happened to our family. America, this is not going to go away without sacrifice. Either way, we are going to pay a price. Governments are faced with making difficult decisions, and they cannot appease and satisfy everyone.

Evidence (2024-07-14): The reactions are emblematic of the deep polarization that has struck American politics. The assassination attempt unified top congressional leaders, who forcefully rebuked it and called for unity, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. But there remain figures who stoke us-versus-them divisions and lean on unverified information or conspiracy theories, using social media to inflame the message. [...] And Trump’s 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale tweeted: "This is either one of the worst failures in Secret Service history or a deep state plot. There’s no way this should have ever happened." [...] "This is a continuation of the bulls--- rhetoric that drives political violence," Pocan responded. "A likely assassination attempt and gun violence on Trump is awful on many levels. Adding jet fuel to the political climate is unbecoming of a member of Congress."

Evidence (2022-08-15): "The German generals in World War II," Trump responded. [...] Eventually, Pelosi, in her frustration, stood and pointed at the President. "All roads with you lead to Putin," she said. "You gave Russia Ukraine and Syria." [...] When she exited the White House, Pelosi told reporters that she left because Trump was having a "meltdown." A few hours later, Trump tweeted a White House photograph of Pelosi standing over him, apparently thinking it would prove that she was the one having a meltdown. Instead, the image went viral as an example of Pelosi confronting Trump.

Evidence (2023-02-09): I’m supposed to be flattered, I guess, that these bigwigs are taking time to write to me personally, relying on the use of first names to sound chummy. "Adam suggested I get in touch with you," wrote Stacey Abrams, when she was running for governor. "Nick, I’m disgusted," wrote Pelosi. "I wanted to tell you personally." [...] And why should that bother me? I’m generally sympathetic to Democrats. I know they need money to win their races. [...] It’s a bad, broken, corrupt system in which money plays far too big a role.

Evidence (2024-02-08): Facts First: This claim is complete fiction – an abject lie. Pelosi did not cause a mob of pro-Trump supporters inspired by Trump’s lies about the 2020 election to storm the Capitol. [...] Pelosi spokesperson Aaron Bennett told CNN on Thursday: "No matter what unhinged lies Trump spews about the insurrection he instigated, as numerous independent fact-checkers have confirmed, Speaker Pelosi did not plan her own assassination." Trump has previously made a narrower claim that Pelosi was responsible for inadequate security at the Capitol on January 6. But that narrower claim is wrong, too.

Claim: President Obama released 500,000 pedophiles from background check database (Viral post, 2023-07-28)
Evidence (2018-03-17): Partisan web sites reported that Obama's Department of Justice had forced the deletion of the names of more than 500,000 fugitives with outstanding arrest warrants from the NICS database. The reports centered around an exchange between Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California) and acting FBI Deputy Director David Bowdich during a 14 March Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on School Shootings and Safety, quoted as follows by the Daily Wire blog: "It's my understanding that under federal law fugitives cannot legally purchase or possess guns," Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) began. "We've heard from local law enforcement that the Justice Department has issued a memo that forced the FBI NICS background check database to drop more than 500,000 names of fugitives with outstanding arrest warrants because it was uncertain whether those fugitives had fled across state lines." [...] As previously alleged, the guidance had the immediate effect of causing the names of some 500,000 subjects to be conditionally purged from the existing NICS database because they did not meet all of the above criteria. Below are charts from the FBI showing the total numbers of active "fugitive from justice" records at the end of 2016 vs. the end of 2017:

Evidence (2018-03-15): WASHINGTON — The Justice Department under Barack Obama directed the FBI to drop more than 500,000 names of fugitives with outstanding arrest warrants from the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, acting FBI deputy director David Bowdich testified Wednesday. [...] That disagreement was settled at the end of Obama’s second term, when the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel sided with the ATF’s interpretation. Under President Donald Trump, the DOJ defined a fugitive as a person who went to another state to dodge criminal prosecution or evade giving testimony in criminal court, and implemented the Office of Legal Counsel’s decision. The decision meant that around half a million fugitives were removed from the National Instant Criminal Background Check System.

Evidence (2023-05-01): Fact Check: Obama Did NOT Remove 500,000 'Pedophiles From Government Online Databases' Did former President Barack Obama remove half a million pedophiles from government online databases? No, that's not true: The claim refers to changes in criminal record-keeping. The Trump administration issued the memo in February 2017 that more narrowly defined a "fugitive from justice" as a person with an arrest warrant who had also fled state lines. This resulted in 500,000 people being removed from the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) Indices who were previously flagged, including but not limited to "pedophiles." There is no evidence there were 500,000 pedophiles on the list.

Claim: Claims the WHO advised the public to not have unprotected sex with animals to prevent the coronavirus? (Evil Shatner, 2020-01-29)

Claim: Claims the WHO advised the public to not have unprotected sex with animals to prevent the coronavirus? (Evil Shatner, 2020-01-29)
Evidence (2020-01-29): Many of the suggested protective steps were common sense health approaches best followed at all times, such as washing your hands with soap and water, covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze, avoiding close contact with persons exhibiting symptoms, and cooking animal-based food products thoroughly. One tip offered in a purported coronavirus advisory put together by the World Health Organization (WHO) raised some eyebrows, however: Although avoiding "unprotected sex with live wild or farm animals" is generally good practice, many viewers were left wondering ... exactly whom was this advice was intended for? What general audience or population is typically engaging in such activity? In fact, although this coronavirus-related graphic was indeed issued by the WHO, the text of the last item (circled in red) has been digitally altered. The original WHO advisory, and others like it, more generally cautioned against unprotected contact (of any type) with live wild or farm animals:
