Mystery item falls out of Nancy Pelosi’s pants during her DNC speech…and the internet has a wild theory
Nancy Pelosi sparked a frenzy of online speculation during her Democratic National Convention speech on Wednesday, but not for the reasons she would have hoped.
As the 84-year-old former House speaker walked out on stage to address the jubilant crowd, a mystery white object dropped out of her pants.
Critics were giddy with claims that it was a piece of discarded toilet paper that dropped to the floor as she approached the podium.
She even looked back to see what she had left behind as she prepared to give her remarks in Chicago before the keynote from vice presidential nominee and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
The item remained on stage behind the California Democrat during her remarks.
The internet was awash with theories about what the mystery object was.
However those who speculated will be disappointed, as it appears it was only a loose notecard.
‘Toilet paper fell out of Nancy Pelosi’s pant leg when she walked onto stage,’ right-wing X user Ian Miles Cheong wrote with a video of the scene.
Other pro-Trump users also jumped on claiming it was an embarrassing moment for the 84-year-old.
One X user wrote: ‘Pelosi was drunk AF and didn’t realize she had toilet paper in her pants.’
‘What does Nancy Pelosi and toilet paper have in common? They both are used by Trump to wipe his a**!!!’ another posted.
A chorus of other right-wing and pro-MAGA social media users also jumped on mocking the former Speaker for the now-viral moment.
But the website Not The Bee conducted a mini and almost joke experiment that found it was probably a piece of paper or note card that Pelosi dropped on the stage rather than an awkward toilet paper-on-shoe moment.
The outlet found when dropping a piece of toilet paper versus a piece of paper on the floor that it was more likely the latter.
During the speech, Pelosi praised Joe Biden profusely and thanked him for his service after he dropped out.
Mindy Kaling, who hosted during the evening, introduced Pelosi as ‘mother of dragons,’ referring to the powerful Queen on the TV show Game of Thrones.
The words were notable from the former speaker after she played a large role in convincing Biden to exit the presidential race.
‘He established one of the most successful presidencies of modern times,’ she said. ‘Thank you Joe.’

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Relationship Timeline
The 14-time Grammy winner previously shared a video on YouTube Shorts of him kissing her in the kitchen while she stirred a pot, alongside other snapshots of her life. In the brief clip, several food ingredients could be seen on the counter behind them.
When asked about his appearance in the video and the kinds of foods he liked to cook with Swift during a Chiefs press conference in June, the NFL player admitted he liked spending time in the kitchen with his girlfriend, though he declined to comment on the kinds of dishes they made together.
“I respect that question but I’m going to keep that one to myself because I thoroughly enjoy cooking with her so it’s something I’d rather just keep personal,” he responded.

He later added in the press conference that the “Fortnight” singer “makes a great pop-tart and cinnamon roll.” She even baked for Travis’ teammates after the pair went public with their romance in September 2023.
“Kind of behind-the-scenes, she, to fit in — she didn’t even know she was doing this, I don’t think — she likes to cook, so she made the offensive linemen these homemade pop-tarts,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid revealed during an interview at the NFL Scouting Combine in February.
