From Fox News: Former House Speaker and self-proclaimed “Deadhead” Nancy Pelosi drew swift online backlash after appearing at a tribute honoring Grateful Dead co-founder Bob Weir, with some social media users accusing her of bizarre behavior.
Thousands gathered Saturday at San Francisco’s Civic Center to celebrate the life of Weir, who died earlier this month at age 78. The event drew longtime “Deadheads,” musicians and political figures, including Pelosi, according to FOX 2.
Pelosi, 85, delivered a speech about Weir and appeared to sing and sway along on stage as musician John Mayer performed the Grateful Dead classic “Ripple.”
“Bobby Weir was not just a magician, musician – a magician too – he was a force of nature,” Pelosi reportedly said.
She mispronounced other words in the speech, and stumbled over other phrases.
Online, some social media users guessed that Pelosi was “drunk.”
