A growing number of Democratic lawmakers are calling for Twitter and Facebook to pull down an edited video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that was posted by President Trump on Thursday, reigniting a battle over how much responsibility social media platforms should assume over viral footage that could mislead viewers.
The back-and-forth over the Pelosi video is opening up fresh wounds, as Democrats are still incensed by Twitter and Facebook's previous decision to leave up a different manipulatively edited video of Pelosi that went viral last year.
Pelosi's deputy chief of staff, Drew Hammill, on Friday said the "latest fake video of Speaker Pelosi is deliberately designed to mislead and lie to the American people."
"The American people know that the President has no qualms about lying to them — but it is a shame to see Twitter and Facebook, sources of news for millions, do the same," Hammill said on Friday. "Every day that these platforms refuse to take it down is another reminder that they care more about their shareholders’ interests than the public’s interests.”
Hammill said Pelosi's office has asked both Twitter and Facebook to take down the video.

Triggered, triggered, WE ALL GET TRIGGERED.
He trolls for thee!
It isn’t misleading at all.
where is the link to the video?
What did they do? Did they alter the color to make her look orange?
If Pelosi didn’t want video of her acting like an a*s, then perhaps she should have given this planned outburst more thought.
Great video

She said every page was a lie. You said it now own it Nancy.
The Steel Dossier and Black Ledger elves pulled a crap fest out of their butts. We’re just fighting fire with fire, munchkins.
Yep can't wait to post and retweet.
It’s pretty obvious that the same clip is being used over and over. It’s the same as “emphasis added”. Nancy Pelosi disrespected each and every person being honored and each and every accomplishment of the past three years that was mentioned. I have no problem with the way this was presented.
Leave it up for a week!
What a GREAT video!!
Why can’t the rest of the pubbies fight like that?
Did they take it down? I don’t see this tweet.
