Misbar’s Analysis

Misbar investigated the widely circulated claim and discovered it to be false, as the image was fabricated and extracted from an old video clip published on May 13, 2020, by the American News Agency, the Associated Press, on its YouTube account. The same interview was also published on the "NewsMax" website. Pelosi spoke with MSNBC on the same topic and date.

The Heroes Act

In the interview, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi discussed the Democrats' $3 trillion coronavirus relief project.
The Democratic Party had passed a bill for them known as the "Heroes Act" in the U.S. House of Representatives at the time, aimed at mitigating the devastating effects of COVID-19 on the U.S. economy and healthcare system.

Abortion Law

The claim sparked after Pelosi called the Supreme Court's ruling against the liberal abortion law a "slap in the face for women." In her statement on Friday, June 24, Pelosi warned that restricting abortion is just the beginning, indicating that "this is a very dangerous matter."
