House Speaker Nancy Pelosi slammed Facebook during a new interview with The New York Times' Kara Swisher.
Pelosi said she held Facebook "very accountable" for posts on the platform in support of QAnon, a right-wing conspiracy theory that claims, in part, that Democratic Party leaders are involved in child sex trafficking.
"I don't know how the Facebook board of directors or their top employees can look themselves in the mirror," Pelosi said. "They have clearly chosen. Their business plan is to make money off of poison, and that's the path they have chosen to go."
Pelosi has criticized Facebook in the past, particularly after the company last year refused to take down a doctored video that made her appear drunk.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday blasted Facebook executives and employees as "totally disreputable" over the prevalence of posts touting the right-wing conspiracy-theory movement QAnon.
Pelosi made the comments in an interview with Kara Swisher on the first episode of "Sway," Swisher's new podcast with The New York Times.
In the interview, Swisher brought up QAnon, the far-right conspiracy-theory movement popular among some of President Donald Trump's supporters that claims a group of society's elite, including leaders in the Democratic party, are conspiring to commit a variety of heinous crimes such as child sex trafficking.
While QAnon is said to have originated on the anonymous online message board 4chan, in recent months the posts have become more widespread on mainstream social-media sites like Twitter and Facebook. Both companies have announced plans to crack down on QAnon accounts.

Nancy, show me on the doll where QAnon touched you
I’ll bet when Pelosi looks in a mirror she sees a replica of the dark side of her moon.
“Their business plan is to make money off of poison, and that’s the path they have chosen to go.”
Well, that part is true as far as it goes. Facebook is a cesspool that is basically built on attention-seeking and other narcissistic activities. It’s perfect for social signalling and the enforcement of liberal groupthink.
Ok, I laughed.
Freedom of speech is dangerous to those that would like to control us mentally and physically.
These are dangerous times when you have the Speaker of the House behaving this tyrannical.
When Nan looks in the mirror, does she recognize the face looking back at her?
Just like Westboro, if QAnon didn’t exist, the liberals would have to create it so they could attack it.
Ask Pelosi if she wonders about an abortionist dealing with the “face in the mirror!” What a bitch!
Well Nancy, all of us on the Right are “Enemies of the State”, aren’t we?
Now that Nancy has screwed the pooch, she is groping for her soul.
If Q isn’t real, why can’t they shut up about it?
