I have condemned both sides for doing it. This thread is about the GOP's use of doctored videos, which is why I am commenting on the GOP. It doesn't help that the GOP appears to be doing it more lately.

I think it would be a good idea to make a mini-blimp of angry, muttering Nancy shredding the speech and fly it over every DNC event. I would contribute to it.

The only thing the democrats impeached was impeachment itself. Democrats put on a show trial to appease their big donors. Trump was also acquitted. That will also go down in history.
She knew, as did we all, that the Senate would never remove him. But he is now impeached, which is what she set out to do. And will be forevermore. Trump knows it and it pisses him off. You pretending otherwise doesn't change that.

You know what else it doesn't change. My vote. Your Potemkin impeachment did nothing but show Americans that leftists will spare no expense to impugn people who oppose their entitled claims to power and their agenda. Trumps numbers went up. Too bad for you.

It also shows the great lengths democrats will go to in order to kiss the backsides of their big money donors. Hope it was worth it. Last week will go down in history as the week Trump was both re-elected and acquitted.

There's nothing dishonest about it.....what is dishonest is you coming here and lying about it in an effort to spin things to make Pelosi's actions seem less embarrassing. It's not going to work kiddo, you'd be much better off just distancing yourself from that clown. Let her take well deserved heat for her stupidity rather than suggesting that you agree with the stupidity.
The video shows excerpts from the address, interspersed with video of Pelosi tearing up the speech.

It's not dishonest of me to point out that interspersing the video of Pelosi tearing up the speech with other moments of the address (when Pelosi didn't tear up the speech until the end) is dishonest, since it doesn't show that at each of those moments in the address, Pelosi is giving the honorees a standing ovation.

I haven't lied at any time.

And yes, as someone with experience in advertising and social media, I think the video is a great idea. I'd say the same if the roles were reversed, as well.
I have aimed criticism at Pelosi. That does not mean that I cannot also say that the video was doctored, and that the doctoring is not just a criticism of Pelosi but a dishonest effort to portray her as not respecting the honorees. She did respect those honorees, as is signified by the standing ovation she gave them.

The first post of this thread asserted that the video wasn't doctored. That was patently untrue, and I've been arguing that it was untrue this entire thread. Do you have a point, or is trying to demean others how you've decided to enjoy your morning?

No one gave me any marching orders.

Maybe you'd like to keep to the topic of the thread?
