President Trump accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Twitter Thursday of deleting a tweet from late February in which she encouraged people to continue holding public gatherings and visit Chinatown.

“Crazy Nancy Pelosi deleted this from her Twitter account,” Trump posted along with a video of Pelosi. “She wanted everyone to pack into Chinatown long after I closed the BORDER TO CHINA. Based on her statement, she is responsible for many deaths. She’s an incompetent, third-rate politician!”

The tweet was retweeted and liked tens of thousands of times within 20 minutes.

Drew Hammill, the deputy chief of staff for Pelosi, later denied the speaker ever shared such a video.

"Fact check: We never posted this video. It’s obviously local TV coverage of the Speaker visiting Chinatown in San Francisco three weeks prior to the shelter-in-place order," he said.

Pelosi has been criticized over the past few weeks for slamming the president’s response to the coronavirus despite her documented call for the public to continue going outside weeks after the president implemented his travel ban on China to stem the spread of the virus.

“It’s exciting to be here, especially at this time, to be able to be unified with our community,” Pelosi told her constituents on Feb. 24. “We want to be vigilant about what is out there in other places. We want to be careful about how we deal with it, but we do want to say to people ‘Come to Chinatown, here we are — we're, again, careful, safe — and come join us.'”

"Everything is fine," she added. "All is well."

At that point, Trump had already banned travel from China on Jan. 31.

Pelosi has been an outspoken critic of Trump’s response to the virus, saying on March 29 that his “denial at the beginning was deadly” and cost lives.

“It seems Nervous Nancy Pelosi has deleted the video of herself in Chinatown on February 24 saying that fears of the coronavirus were 'unwarranted in light of the precautions that are being taken here in the United States.' She doesn’t want Americans to see what she said then!” Trump reelection campaign chair Brad Parscale added on Twitter.
