WATCH: Nancy Pelosi Struggles During Short Speech

Term limits now!

During a 7-minute speech to Refugees International on Tuesday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi struggled to spit out the words, making mistake after mistake.

The American Mirror published an edited version of the video of the highlights (lowlights?) with a provided transcript of all of the unintelligibles:

She congratulated honorees for their well-deserved “resc — recognition.”

Pelosi complimented Refugees International’s “strong moral varce — voice.”

She said America “degrades our values and our security when we slam the door in the face of children freeing — fleeing atrocities.”

“With the specter of famine looming in, over northeast Nigeria, Somalia, south “Sudon,” and “Yuma — Yamen,” she said, flubbing “Yemen.”

Pelosi asserted cutting the foreign aid budget would “only deepen the crisis fighting — facing the children.”

“Children, America, children need America to be their champion,” she said moments later.

Pelosi thanked Refugees International for “channeling — challenging us to honor our values.”

Perhaps Pelosi was just having a bad day, but on the other hand, maybe this is more proof that we need to set term limits. Besides, she’s done and said far worse things as a representative than garbling a few words.
