Nancy Pelosi ignited a flurry of online speculation after a mysterious white item fell from her pants during her speech at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday.
The 84-year-old former House speaker's critics claimed that it was a piece of used toilet paper that fell to the ground as she got closer to the podium.
