Dems demand Twitter, Facebook take down edited video of Pelosi ripping up State of the Union speech

[NorthernHawkeye]

Love the response by the Facebook spokesman.

Hammill was quizzed by Facebook spokesman Andy Stone about what he found objectionable to the video: “Sorry, are you suggesting the President didn’t make those remarks and the Speaker didn’t rip the speech?”

Dems demand Twitter, Facebook take down edited video of Pelosi ripping up State of the Union speech posted by Trump https://www.foxnews.com/politics/de...ing-state-of-the-union-speech-posted-by-trump

I'm not saying the video should be taken down, but it is deceptive. It makes it look like Pelosi ripped up the copy after he introduced the Tuskegee airman, etc.

 

[TJ8869]

It is deceptively edited. But Nancy has been around long enough to know that something like that was going to be used against her. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to rip up the speech.

Nancy is an idiot. Trump's speech contained numerous references to different heroes yet she still did that shit. It's a poor look for her specifically and Dems in general.

Take down that deceptive video! But this one is fine!

 

[NorthernHawkeye]

Republicans, meanwhile, pushed back against the efforts by Democrats to censor the video.

“They’re arguing it’s deceptively edited to misinform and want twitter to censor it,” National Republican Senatorial Committee senior adviser Matt Whitlock tweeted. “But.. she tore the speech that had those stories. Repetition to highlight exactly what she was tearing is not 'misinformation,' these Reps are gaslighting.”

Lol. I'd never actually seen this video. I couldn't help but chuckle knowing what was coming, but when she actually went over the cliff I laughed out loud.

I’m thinking I’m going to be in the minority, but I don’t think Facebook has a duty to police or censor content. Facebook is like a digital town square. If a crazy person wants to stand on the street and make up deceptive stories about Nancy, they could. They should be able to do that on Facebook too.

That should be allowed too.

They all should be allowed.

Now imagine a foreign country is paying those crazies to stand in the square and scream stuff...

That’s fine too. Americans are free to monetize their crazy.

 

[Tiny Hands Trump]

Dems should make edited videos of Trump making fun of disabled people but put soldiers in them and such.

Who cares? Why is the the job of the government to prevent dumb people from hearing stuff they might be dumb enough to believe? Because that’s what this is.

We have libel and slander laws already for that shit. The reason you want it censored or taken down is that you can’t win on the grounds of libel or slander. Suck it up.

They probably already have. Remember the Mitt 47% stuff? This is nothing new. The Dems are just as good at doing it.

 

[royhobbs2]

They want the video removed in order to rewrite history, in 4 or 5 years the dems will be claiming Pelosi never ripped up the speech.

Was that edited? I don't remember that.

 

[FAUlty Gator]

Was that edited? I don't remember that.

Is was constantly deceptively used in various contexts that weren’t the context in which he said it: Just like his “binders full of women” and “I like to fire people” comments were. And just like Obama’s “You didn’t build that” quote was taken out of context as well. Common practice. But still very deceptive.

With the advent of Trump, conservatives have forfeited all rights to consider anything to be inappropriate behavior.

I agree with your other examples but not the 47%. I remember that being pretty accurate. What was deceptive about it?

Bullsh!t. But if you believe it, that's on you. Wait for the campaign commercials that feature Nancy doing her thing. Dems are going to hate that stuff. But, there it is.

Start with the fact that what he said was 100% true, even according to Politifact.

Weird that Trump gave the Medal of Freedom to a POS like Rush Limbaugh, and not to an actual hero like Charles McGee. But, since Trump wouldn't have let McGee live in one of his buildings it isn't surprising that people are getting all wound up about a perceived slight to McGee.

I agree. Trump has given the Dems way more than enough material to use. It’s time to start using the same tactics as the head idiot.

As always...dumbest post in the thread.

its an embarrassing video for dems, that's the only reason they object it to it. Bad optics.

 

[Nipigu]

Brilliant video. Pelosi did it to herself.

I agree, except that people can no longer discern real and fake. Everything looks the same. I’m kind of torn. But probably too late, cat outta bag kinda thing.

 

[Rudolph]

Just a reminder that we have this debate juxtaposed oddly against a trial where no witnesses or documents allowed. So I love that cons want any and all video of Pelosi acting petulant while defending every obstruction of certainly much more important stuff by their party.

Was you dropped on your head as a baby?

 

[BABiscuit]

I love this stuff about the tearing up the speech is so bad because he talked about war heroes. Trump said he didnt think POWs were heroes and he liked people that didnt get caught. And then you made him your candidate.

 

[royhobbs2]

great argument

 

[ctghawk]

Nancy is getting the finale she deserves.

If they did they are incorrect. I don't know how you could claim what he said was 100% true. That's just ridiculous. You're not dumb. There's no way you believe that.

What I’m saying is there was a lot of taking his quote out of context and making it into something it wasn’t.

I don’t think it was a real person falling.

But they did hate Paul Ryan.

 

[St. Louis Hawk]

Of course, OP celebrates his party’s attempt to fool the voters with a deceptive ad. BAU GOP

That being said, it’s politics. Suck it up dems.

Oh thank God! I’m a conservative and I am having trouble considering what I, and the other 50 midgets & clowns did with your Moms last night!
