By Felicia Sonmez Felicia Sonmez National reporter on The Washington Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow May 26 at 2:40 PM A Republican lawmaker said Sunday that he is concerned about President Trump’s sharing of a heavily edited video that spliced together several verbal pauses by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi .
Trump shared the video Thursday night on Twitter, ratcheting up tensions in his spat with Pelosi amid accusations from Democrats that the White House is stonewalling congressional investigations into the president’s personal finances, businesses and other matters. Rep. Will Hurd , shown in 2016, said political disinformation “gets at the heart of our democracy.” Trump’s tweet came on the same day that The Washington Post reported on the rapid spread of other distorted videos of Pelosi that have been altered to make her sound as if she is drunkenly slurring her words.
Hurd predicted that “within months, we’re going to be able to see this deepfake technology continue to grow.”
Too bad cry baby...
IAmJoeTrudeau He’s the Aggie!
Is Rep. Hurd not running for re-election in 2020....BC those are the only republicans who criticize or chastise tRump
And who is criticizing SpeakerPelosi for our country that she is taking down the circus march? Go get ‘em realDonaldTrump !
Is this REAL ? A Republican speaking out against Trump 'THE LYING KING' about telling LIES
Trump has done a lot of horrible things...this is one of them but certainly not the worse. Republicans have a lot to criticize but they are, for the most part, cowards. Whatever it takes to hold onto their power.
What would you expect from a disturbed middle schooler?
That’s all they have, is weak criticism! Cult45 RussianAssets Dishonorable45
And this will be fuel for those who running against him for President in 2020 Trump best keep mouth closed and not say anything about anyone it can be used later on.
Just another sign of depths that this loathesome individual, Donald Trump will stoop to
It was a montage. Put your panties back on.
ONE Republican lawmaker? ONE!!!
If Pelosi can go on national TV and ask his family for an intervention, then Trump has the same right to come back and question her behavior as well, matter of fact millions have questioned her slur words, her forgetfulness, and odd behavior many times.
“Heavily edited” my ass. It was a damn highlight real of the many times Nancy has had some issues speaking.
“Heavily edited” 😂
I will bet Lindsey did not say anything!
Wow that’s 2 whole Republicans that have some balls! 👏🏻
Waaaaaaaaa
There are many actual videos of her that show her problems. Afraid to show them, WAPO?
Don’t complain now. Trump showed you who he was before the election.,..
Good for him!!
Someone from the Republican Party should stand up to POTUS and not be his bitch!
Literally one
Finally!!!
Wow, someone with a shred of shame
Minoro no se ñodoy a ningún Republicano que Critique ar Trump. ustedes saven como el Pais esta de corrección y Robos por Partes de Político Nuestro presidente Quiere llevar el Camino Correcto a tantos. Políticos incorrectos.
Good...POTUS should act respectably
So final tally on Republican criticism: one?
How is that different from Pelosi and her lies
ITS NOT DOCTORED OR EDITED!!!!!
Shameful
Well what do u say when she’s live and slurs and stammers
Good luck tribute.
Republican? That's funny.
The GOP's token Trump critic.
“Heavily edited”, I think not. Pull up the other hundreds of video out there with her speaking exactly the same.
Fake news
And this is news because he’s the ONLY REPUBLICAN TO DO SO. How much lower is the the bar gonna go, GOP?
We could use a little more input from those GOP lapdogs.
Why do you post your news & we can't read the articles? Are you that hard up for subscriptions? The Washington Post.realDonaldTrump
Just the one?
Most of them criticize him for breathing. America wake up destroying Republicans their blood sport. Decency kicked to the curb.
Trump's life is based on lies so it makes total sense that he would post a video that's a lie. I never believe a word Trump or his supporters say.
Heavily?
We have set a very low bar when stating the obvious is considered to be courageous.
Are we suppose to think this is brave because it’s a GOP member? It’s not brave...it’s obviously just the right thing to do!
'Heavily edited' it was not. Footage was not doctored, merely cut together. Nothing different from the many quick cut compilations of Trump sniffling during the debates or all the times he mentioned China during his campaign.
Note lawmaker not lawmakers. It’s outrageous that his supporters will stand by him no matter what this lunatic does. I feel like he could murder an innocent grandmother on live tv and claim the stand your ground law and be fully supported.
Is 'Republican Lawmaker...' the new 'Florida Man...' of headline writing? Send your best. But seriously... Only one has the guts to do what's right Thanks Rep of Tx for taking a civil stand.
Even without an edited video, it's obvious that Pelosi is declining. For a Speaker of the House to publicly declare that President Trump was an agent of Putin, and now says Trump is involved in some criminal cover-up is despicable. She dishes that out, she deserves the ridicule.
Who cares ? The more you criticize President Trump, the more America loves him.❤️🇺🇸
Will Hurd is one of the few principled republicans
We need more than criticism at this point. Actually, about 50 points back...
Got it. Keep moving.
How long will it take for THE NEW GOP! PartyOverCountry to ostracize him? Maybe it will be part of their Praise Dear Leader/Memorial Day message.
File this under the exception that proves the rule.
Slowly but surely. Trump will hang himself... It’s Memorial Day Weekend and you’re taking a shot at Biden while praising a dictator,” Kinzinger tweeted. “This is just plain wrong.”
With CROOKED DONALD, there is no line between real and make believe. As long as it suits his end game, anything goes. He is nothing more than a snake oil salesman posing as President!!!
How sad, there should be hundreds of Congress & Senate in this picture outraged at that video.
It may have been doctored but she is incoherent much too often ...if she has fun fabricating crimes on this great President he in return should have fun pointing fun at her garbling nonsense
“Lawmaker” Singular. Pitiful.
Her stuttering, muttering and maki g no sense has nothing to do with playback speed bc it will still happen if in fast motion.
If it’s and edited video. I’m sure the Democratic Party attorneys would have it off by now. But since its not that leaves a lot in question about Nancy, don’t you think?
Just one?
It was funny
Every single member of the house should condemn his tweet. He attacked their leader; for them to remain silent just proves that actions are louder than words.
Just watching any of her videos. She can’t hardly put a sentence together.
Heavily edited 😂. You people are so upset it’s hilarious
The edited video of Pelosi was not circulated by POTUS
Just this alone shows he has no respect for a woman, AMERICA, laws,or concern for us to let this of Nancy to be put on FACEBOOK!! He is so into himself, playing golf, visiting far out Countries. Showing off behind the podium! God, how much into himself can anyone be?
I guess it’s hard to accept , but this is what the Gop has become. Sad.
It wasn’t “heavily edited” and you guys know it. WaPoisFakeNews
He then added, “Not that I’m actually gonna do anything about it”
if you love this woman , nothing will ever change about her.
Blah, blah, blah. Someone is always criticizing Trump anytime & anywhere. Lack of respect for our duly elected President is disgusting & appalling, no matter who is speaking.
Every Republican should be horrified by this behavior... and say so, publicly
Trump did not share a doctored video. The far left media once again doctored the truth. The media wrote a story of other doctored videos & tried to link the video Trump used to it. This is more fake news. FYI: LIVE reported press conferences of Pelosi show incoherent speech.
Get a grip it was funny. You liberal people are so screwed up!
are you listening, Donald? realDonaldTrump do you even care
It's real video....
This is what you don't like about what he does? Coward.
Look, it helps Our US_CYBERCOM identify Communists and Russians on social media.
That shows how sick your President is.
No one have a problem with this edited video of realDonaldTrump
Lets hope more Republicans express disapproval of trump's crude attempts to discredit his opposition.
Did he or any Democratic lawmaker critize Hillary Clinton for disseminating a salacious & unverified Dossier?
Why ? It was a truthful compilation. Edited for time.
They should get off their scary asses and help impeach Trump!!
Look at all editing of the truth engages in
Lol
Nancy Pelosi has major issues and I believe that she’s experiencing the early signs of dementia.
