ONLINE speculation was swirling after an item fell out of Nancy Pelosi’s pocket during her speech at the Democratic National Convention but the mysterious object has now been revealed.
Pelosi, the former House speaker, drew attention to herself for all the wrong reasons as she took to the stage on Wednesday.

An unknown white object slipped out of her pant pocket during her speech at the DNC and wild theories quickly flooded the internet about what it could be.
While some argued it was a loose piece of toilet paper, the Not The Bee website conducted an experiment to discover the object’s true identity.
The mysterious item dropped to the floor as Pelosi approached the stadium and she looked back to examine what she had lost.
“Toilet paper fell out of Nancy Pelosi’s pant leg when she walked onto stage,” one person wrote on X.
“Where can I buy some Nancy Pelosi toilet paper?” another user commented.
“I thought the surprise [guest] would be a janitor to follow Nancy Pelosi around to pick up the toilet paper falling from her pants,” another post read.
Many right-wing social media users took to social media to mock the former House speaker.
This theory, however, has now been disproved after Not The Bee’s post on Thursday.
“Nancy Pelosi came out to deliver her remarks for a gathering of Democrats from across the land,” their post read.
“But something was amiss.”
“I slowed down the video for you so we could all see exactly what happened,” the post continued.
“Pay particular attention to the way the object falls at the very end.”
The website argued that the item “had a bit of heft to it” and they decided to conduct a test of the two most likely objects – toilet paper and a note/card.
“The notecard looks a lot more like the object that Nancy dropped,” the Not The Bee team concluded.
Democratic National Convention roundup
Delegates from across the nation decended into Chicago’s United Center to formally celebrate Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democrats presidential nominee.
DNC Night 1 highlights:
- Delegates showed an outpouring of gratitude for President Joe Biden, the Democratic incumbent who decided to end his reelection campaign on July 21, 2024, and pass the torch to his vice president to lead the nation.
- An emotional Biden, who wiped away tears as a raucous crowd chanted, “Thank you, Biden, delivered an emphatic speech that diverted past the scheduled primetime hour.
- Supporters praised the president for his 50-year career in public service that began in Delaware.
- “For 50 years, like many of you, I’ve given my heart and soul to our nation, and I’ve been blessed, a million times in return, with the support of the American people,” Biden said.
- Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton received a standing ovation as she called Kamala Harris and Tim Walz’s campaign “the future.”
DNC Night 2 highlights:
- Kamala Harris secured the Democratic nomination in a chaotic and gaffe-filled roll call during night 2 of the convention.
- Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham spoke at the DNC and said behind closed doors, Donald Trump would refer to his supporters as “basement dwellers.”
- Grisham was one of five Republicans to speak at the convention.
- The Obamas electrified the Chicago crowd, delivering keynote speeches one after the other.
- Former First Lady Michelle Obama gave a rousing speech blasting Trump as a racist and misogynist.
- Barack Obama, one of the most influential figures in the Democratic Party since leaving the Oval Office in 2017, called his successor a “whining and childish” billionaire.
DNC Night 3 highlights:
- Former President Bill Clinton delivered an enthusiastic speech to delegates, but his low-tone voice and thinning gray hair left supporters worried.
- Vice President nominee Tim Walz was cheered by his former high school football team he previously coached as he headlined Night 3 of the DNC.
- Walz, or “Coach” Walz as referred to by presidential candidate Kamala Harris, packed his 16-minute speech with football references, admitting to Democrats that they’re behind in the race.
- “It’s the fourth quarter. We’re down a field goal,” Walz said.
- “But we’re on offense, and we’ve got the ball. We’re driving down the field. And boy, do we have the right team.
- “We’re going to leave it on the field. That’s how we’ll keep moving forward.”
- Meanwhile, on the Republican side, Donald Trump held his first outdoor rally since he survived an attempted assassination while on the campaign trail in Pennsylvania on July 13.
- Trump delivered remarks to supporters in North Carolina behind a fortified bulletproof podium.
They acknowledged, however, that the angle of the video made it hard to see where exactly the item came from, either her hand or a suit pocket.
“If anyone out there was undercover at the DNC and got a good look at Nancy’s left side, they could unlock the rest of this mystery,” the website concluded.
Pelosi took to the stage before the keynote speech from the vice presidential nominee and Minnesota governor Tim Walz on Wednesday night.
Also speaking on the same evening as here were former president Bill Clinton and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
