A fierce behind-the-scenes dispute between House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office and Facebook erupted into public view Friday, as the speaker’s office demanded that Facebook remove a video posted online by President Donald Trump.
The video in question showed Pelosi’s viral State of the Union moment ripping up the text of Trump’s speech Tuesday night, but was edited to make it appear that she ripped the speech even as Trump saluted a Tuskegee airman in the audience. In fact, Pelosi’s speech-ripping gesture came at the end of the president’s speech, and her office said it was in response to the totality of the speech and what Pelosi saw as misinformation in it.
The video, labeled “Powerful American stories ripped to shreds by Nancy Pelosi,” was posted on both Facebook and Twitter. Trump tweeted the video from his Twitter account just before 6 p.m. Thursday to his more than 72 million followers.
Within hours, the speaker’s office was demanding both social media companies remove the video, arguing it was unfair to Pelosi, who actually stood and applauded the airman during the speech.

She has now simultaneously drawn more attention to her own behavior, but also to the remarks the President made in the speech - perhaps the latter even more important.
Zach's video is longer than Don Jrs and the editing is a bit crisper re timing of Pelosi's paper ripping--but the main thing is the needle driven into Pelosi's brain by the visual concept and its realization.
I can't find the FR thread from Feb 5 that contained Zach's version--but here's a link to his Tic-toc video.
She should fire the idiot that thought this was such a funny thing to do.
for those that dont bother to read the story...I cannot believe what Andy Stone- Facebook employee- said. Is he a Republican.
I am really shocked.
“Sorry, are you suggesting the President didn’t make those remarks and the Speaker didn’t rip the speech?”
i like how he has the quote from pelosi on there
They certainly seem to lurk.
Pretty sure pelousy said, right after the state of the union, that she tore up the transcript because “EVERYTHING in the speech was a lie.”
That included all the tributes to the American heroes. So the video is actually factual.
The video is powerful. And the only reason that I saw it is because she demanded it be taken down.
I am sure she was pre-ripping during those times
Good to know. :)
We’re all part of the same team.
Ripping the speech at the end shows disdain for the whole thing.
Priceless. Hag NaN looks like the fool she is

It’s hard to believe Facebook and Twitter are making an effort to be fair to the 63 million Americans who voted for President Trump... but seeing is believing.

Shocker.............
We need to turn the video into two 30 second ads... then run it in every state in the Union.

That truly is a strong video.
Didn’t expect it to be. But, wow, had me reaching for kleenex.
100% truth.
A shame the man whose brother was killed wasn’t included. Was it because it portrayed a law? He should be there also.
