The speaker of the House could use some brushing up on her speaking.
Appearing today at the NAACP’s 110th anniversary convention, the Democratic leader repeatedly struggled to read her prepared remarks.
On at least 24 occasions, the San Francisco Democrat stumbled over her lines, often having to pause and restart. Her comments were only 15 minutes, meaning she averaged 1.6 stumbles per minute.
Pelosi particularly struggled saying “NAACP,” instead referring to the storied civil rights organization as “NAACT.”
“Imagine the honor to get the N-double-A-C-T-cent — the N-double-A-C-T centennial anniversary,” she stumbled early on. At another points she referred to the organization as “the N-double-A-C.”
The 79-year-old lawmaker also forgot where she was, saying “and now it’s a great pleasure to be with you here in New York” she said before catching herself. (The event is actually taking place in Detroit.)
At another point it took her three attempts to say the word “grasp”:
“Once we, once we, uh, restore the vote — once we break the grass, the gas — the grasp,” she said finally.
And that’s just a sampling. Check out the montage above for the full blooper reel.
