Nancy is 83-years old and has spent 35 years in government —and knows nothing about the justice system.
On Thursday night, former Speaker of the House and Golden State Rep. Nancy Pelosi hit Twitter to drop some absolute nonsense that was immediately fact checked by bluebird moderators.
“The Grand Jury has acted upon the facts and the law. No one is above the law, and everyone has the right to a trial to prove innocence. Hopefully, the former President will peacefully respect the system, which grants him that right.”

Twitter jumped in to explain to Nancy how the law works.
“Ms. Pelosi mistakenly says that Trump can prove his innocence at trial. Law in the US assumes the innocence of a defendant and the prosecution must prove guilt for a conviction.”
But it didn’t stop there —here comes the internet.
Uh it's "innocent until proven guilty" not opportunity to "prove innocence" https://t.co/eOfpYszKLi

Wrong. So obviously wrong. Most Middle Schoolers know this—at least they used to, when civics and the Constitution was respected in schools.
You're innocent until proven guilty. https://t.co/edaKuOlxbe

Stalinist Pelosi. Prove innocent? It's innocent until proven guilty, moron. Or at least used to be. https://t.co/BbaJlLvLmU

The last time Americans had to "prove their innocence," we were governed by the British. https://t.co/srCeIaijRy
