Pelosi Just Came to This Conclusion About Facebook
By Townhall. Liberals were up in arms over a doctored video of Speaker Nancy Pelosi that showed up on Facebook last week. The video was slowed down to make her appear confused and as if her age is finally catching up to her. Democrats brought the video to Facebook’s attention, letting them know the video had been doctored. Facebook came back and said it didn’t violate their terms of service, therefore, the video can stay.
During an interview with KQED-TV, Pelosi made a rather interesting comment about the video, saying Facebook executives are “willing enablers” of Russian’s election meddling back in 2016. The fact that they won’t remove the video of her is evidence of that.
We have said all along, poor Facebook, they were unwittingly exploited by the Russians. I think wittingly, because right now they are putting up something that they know is false. I think it’s wrong. I can take it…But [Facebook is] lying to the public,” Pelosi said. . .
According to the Washington Post, Facebook has “heavily reduced” the video’s appearance in people’s news feeds. The vide now has an info box with various links to fact checks that indicate the video is false. If someone tries to share the video, a popup tells the user there’s “additional reporting” on the video. The social media website does not come out and directly say the video is false.

Nancy Pelosi: Doctored Videos Show Facebook ‘Willing Enablers’ of Russians in 2016
By KQED. Trump shared one heavily edited video on Twitter, which was first featured on Fox News, accusing the speaker of “stammering” through a news conference. Pelosi said Facebook knows the videos are false and should take them down. . .
Pelosi added, “I think they have proven — by not taking down something they know is false — that they were willing enablers of the Russian interference in our election.” . . .
Pelosi was speaking to KQED News less than two hours after special counsel Robert Mueller made his first public comments on his two-year investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. She didn’t give much ground on impeachment, but pledged that Democrats will continue to probe President Trump.
