Facebook and Twitter have rejected a request by Nancy Pelosi to remove a video posted by President Trump that was edited to make it appear as though she were ripping a copy of his State of the Union address as he honored a Tuskegee Airman and other guests
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 as he honored a Tuskegee Airman and other guests.
The roughly 5-minute clip shows Pelosi repeatedly ripping his speech in between snippets of him paying tribute to the airman, Charles McGee, as well as other 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.
A Twitter spokeswoman, Lindsay McCallum, wrote on Saturday that, beginning March 5, the company would start applying labels that read “manipulated media” on heavily edited videos like Trump’s. The campaign referred questions about the origin of the video to the White House, which did not respond to a request for comment.
