Facebook and Twitter have rejected a request by Speaker Nancy Pelosi to remove a video posted by President Donald Trump that was edited to make it appear as though she were ripping a copy of his State of the Union address.
The debate has accelerated during the 2020 presidential campaign, as Democrats in Congress have demanded that Facebook and other tech companies take tougher action while figures on the right have argued that such policing could muzzle conservative viewpoints. Into that highly politicised environment came the video posted by Trump to his Twitter account Thursday.
The roughly 5-minute clip shows Pelosi repeatedly ripping his speech in between snippets of him paying tribute to guests he had invited to the State of the Union, including military families. In fact, Pelosi ripped a copy of Trump’s speech immediately after his address to Congress on Tuesday.
