Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday blasted Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s comments about his platform's decision not to fact-check lawmakers, calling the remarks a “disgrace.”
“As far as the platforms are concerned, they want two things from the federal government, no regulation and no taxes. And so they cater to the Trump administration all the time. I think that Mark Zuckerberg's statement was a disgrace,” Pelosi said Thursday on MSNBC.
Pelosi, however, did not praise Twitter for placing warnings on the president’s tweets about mail-in voting in California. She suggested it did not go far enough to address the root of the problem of misinformation.
“They're not taking off any accusations the president's making about Joe Scarborough. They know that's not true. So they do a tokened thing and think it's OK,” Pelosi said, referring to Trump’s recent tweets touting an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory about the death of an aide to the former congressman and current MSNBC host.
“They only have a business model to make money, not to convey facts. That's what they're about,” she added.

As much as you may dislike Zuckerberg he refuses to let Democrats tell him how to run Facebook.
Anytime the vile, demonic Botoxian gets all peed off, sane folks should all rejoice....including me!!! Anything that upsets the Botoxian is a good thing for America and her People.
More Kabuki theater like Biden vs Amazon. Both parties have the same agenda even while they’re acting adversarial.
This is a complete fake.
Pelosi and the leftist social media are in lockstep behind closed doors.
No Nancy, you and your legacy are a disgrace. An utter disgrace.
Facebook discriminated against Diamond and Silk, if you remember, and they brought proof to Congress.
Ok I like Zuck today.
This is starting to get really interesting.
Of course our pearl clutchers, aka TDSers still don’t understand how Trump is getting free publicity 24/7 and destroying rat relationships.
If a private company censors speech on its platform at the bidding of a government authority, would *that* be a violation of the First Amendment?
Trump wins again, Karen/Mika will be livid again.
He can expect an angry phone call from her.
Nice of Pelosi to be so concerned about Joe Scarborough, telling isn’t it?
Dear Nancy,
You guys are going to lose in November, so I don’t have to do a d@mn thing for you,
Regards, Zuck
For informational purposes could you please explain who "they" are?
Cryin Chuck Schumer lesbian daughter works for FB.
They are all on one team.
Most Russian FB adds were placed AFTER the election
Democrats blame Facebook and Zuckerberg for the Russian ads that cost Hillary the election. That's actually what they believe.
Democrats want control of Facebook like they now have control of Twitter. Zuckerberg has refused. That's why Nancy is pissed.
The Democrat Party is using Orwell’s “1984” as a playbook.
I love it when she gets mad. Maybe one time she’ll blow a gasket.
He is still a punk.
What’s disgusting is the attempt that Stretch made to usurp a duly elected president.
