People notice something strange as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi awkwardly jump up during Joe Biden’s State of the Union address.

She is seen jumping out of her seat and rubbing her knuckles together while Biden was speaking about soldiers breathing in toxic smoke from burn pits.

It seems Pelosi incorrectly believed this was a moment for applause. Instead, people noticed that she appeared to be grinding her teeth. Watch the clip:

81-year-old Pelosi sat directly behind Biden last night as millions watched his State of the Union address. She distracted viewers with her awkward and erratic behavior throughout the speech.

“At other moments, she rubbed her tongue over her teeth inside her mouth,” according to reports. “Many social media users spotted Pelosi’s odd behavior to Biden’s serious remarks, with some even questioning if the speaker was intoxicated.”

“What the hell is she doing?” one person responded on social media. Others said she looked like she was “on drugs or drunk.”

A smiling Pelosi awkwardly stood up and rubbed her hands together as Biden was talking about the soldiers stationed in Afghanistan and elsewhere “breathing in toxic smoke from burn pits.” Political personalities and more were quick to point out the moment on Twitter.

Tom Bevan of Real Clear Politics called the moment “bizarre” while others called it strange and “must see TV.”

Here’s a look at some of the responses:
