A fierce behind-the-scenes dispute between House Speaker Nancy Pelosis office and Facebook erupted into public view Friday, as the speakers office demanded that Facebook remove a video posted online by President Donald Trump.
The video in question showed Pelosis viral State of the Union moment ripping up the text of Trumps 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, Pelosis speech-ripping gesture came at the end of the presidents 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 speakers 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.

Wish I had recorded that while scene. What timing!
Both Facebook and Twitter decided against removing the Trump video .......

LOL - still WINNING!! Add this to the total wins in Trump’s column for last week.
Heh heh. Yeah, I saw it, it was perfect. Pelosi is upset because it showed her... doing what she did. Tough.
Fan Freaking Tastic
She may have applauded the airman at the time Trump recognized him, but her act in tearing up the speech was clearly disrespectful and disdainful of the ordinary Americans who make the country work, who were represented on that stage. So, showing her ripping up the speech in juxtaposition with the recognition of the airman is entirely appropriate and accurate in its message.
I have an idea for an AWESOME Trump 2020 campaign ad! [Vanity]
Perhaps Don Jr. saw my post?
She can dish it but can not take it.
It’s called comeuppance nancy poo.
The phrase “you made your bed, now lie in it” comes to mind.
This just makes Democrats look even more stupid. Everyone knows she didn’t tear it up after every point.
FB and twitter know who’s gonna whip ass in November...
I thought that when a person reaches their early-mid twenties the judgement/consequences part of your brain was supposed to kick in.
Actions have consequences occasionally for democrats stupid enough to make it impossible for the media to cover for them. They were getting too dangerously spoiled for their own good.
I don’t tire of watching this video.
So well done.
Unbelievably well done.
Great video! Hope it continues to get play during the election. Very powerful and shows what contempt the dems have for all that is good in America.
How STUPID is Pelosi that she didn’t expect a video would quickly be made of her infantile, pedantic actions?
Pooplosy should be cleaning up the $hit and needles off the sidewalks in her district. Rats do everything else, but what they are elected to do.
True, but it would’ve been more effective if they over layed louder audio of pages ripping in those snippets.
Watched it... then it was followed by a Bernie commercial, lol.
