Mystery item falls out of Nancy Pelosi’s pants during her DNC speech…and the internet has a wild theory
Nancy Pelosi sparked a flurry of online speculation during her speech at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday, but not for the reasons she had hoped.
As the 84-year-old former Speaker of the House of Representatives walked onto the stage to address the jubilant crowd, a mysterious white object fell from her pants.
Critics raved, claiming it was a piece of discarded toilet paper that had fallen to the floor as she walked onto the stage.
She even looked back to see what she had left behind as she prepared for her speech in Chicago, ahead of the keynote address by vice presidential nominee and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
Twitter erupted with speculation about a white item falling out of Nancy Pelosi’s pants on stage at the Democratic Convention on Wednesday
The item remained on stage behind the California Democrat during her speech.
The Internet was filled with theories about what the mysterious object was.
However, those who speculated about this were disappointed. It turned out to be just a single ticket.
“Toilet paper fell out of Nancy Pelosi’s pant leg as she walked onto the stage,” right-wing X user Ian Miles Cheong captioned a video of the scene.
Other pro-Trump users also claimed it was an embarrassing moment for the 84-year-old.
An X user wrote: ‘Pelosi was drunk and didn’t realize she had toilet paper in her pants.’
‘What do Nancy Pelosi and toilet paper have in common? They’re both used by Trump to wipe his ass!!!’ posted another.
Other right-wing and pro-MAGA social media users also mocked the former president over the now-viral moment.
But the website Not The Bee performed a mini and almost joke experiment who concluded that it was likely a piece of paper or a card that Pelosi had dropped on the podium, rather than an awkward moment with toilet paper on her shoe.

The mysterious white object was left on stage as she walked away
The outlet found that it was more likely to be the latter if a piece of toilet paper was thrown on the floor than if a piece of paper was placed on the floor.
During the speech, Pelosi praised Joe Biden extensively and thanked him for his efforts after he withdrew.
Mindy Kaling, who hosted the evening, introduced Pelosi as the “mother of dragons,” referring to the powerful queen from the TV series Game of Thrones.
The former president spoke remarkable words, given that she played a major role in convincing Biden to withdraw from the presidential race.
“He has built one of the most successful presidencies of modern times,” she said. “Thank you, Joe.”

The words were notable from the former speaker after she played a major role in convincing Biden to withdraw from the presidential race
But her warm words to the president may come too late.
The Bidens—and Jill Biden in particular—are known to hold grudges.
And it’s known that they’re still angry with Nancy Pelosi.
On the platform after his speech to Congress on Monday, as he prepared to fly to California, DailyMail.com asked Biden if he was still angry with Pelosi and whether he had spoken to her.
He didn’t respond to the angry part of the question, but did indicate that he hadn’t spoken to her yet.
