The Gateway Pundit ran the headline "SORRY NANCY! … Amazing TPUSA Video that Pelosi Demanded Twitter to Take Down PASS THE 10 MILLION VIEWS MARK!"

The blog noted the video shows "Pelosi ripping up Trump's SOTU speech every time President Trump honored a powerful American story."

"Pelosi pre-ripped the speech as Trump mentioned Rush Limbaugh’s lung cancer diagnosis, proving she pre-planned the theatrical stunt," the Gateway Pundit said. "Pelosi is an evil, calculating, witch and lashed out at reporters who suggested her ripping up the SOTU speech backfired."

The Western Journal noted some of the moving stories included "a Tuskegee Airman, the family of a fallen police officer and a young girl who wanted to escape a failing school."

Turning Point USA, the producer of the video, juxtaposed the images with Pelosi ripping up the speech.

"Anyone who would see this would logically know there were only so many times she ripped up the speech – namely, one – and that the occasion probably didn't happen after Trump saluted a 100-year-old Tuskegee Airman. It was obviously an attempt to synthesize the two differing visions of the speech in a short video, something no one looking at it would have thought was happening in real time," the Western Journal said.

The Journal reported Pelosi's chief of staff, Drew Hammill, went on Facebook to demand the removal of the video.

He called it a "fake video" that would "mislead and lie to the American people."

But Facebook policy communications manager Andy Stone said: "Sorry, are you suggesting the president didn't make those remarks and the speaker didn't rip the speech?"

He pointed out that the events in the video "actually happened."

A spokesman for TPUSA wrote: "First: watch the video. Here is how we made it: We took real lines from the president's State of the Union speech and then used a real footage of Speaker Pelosi tearing up Trump's speech as a transition for each clip.

"That's it. Real events that really happened, in a timeline."
