Pelosi says Zuckerberg comments are a 'disgrace'

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.

Good question since they did that with the Russian bots/trolls on Facebook just 2 years ago.

Nancy is a remarkable woman. She can take communion at 10:00 mass and be at the Planned Parenthood rally at noon.

How quickly the anointed fall; zuck was a DNC god during king obama the corrupt’s reign, and enjoyed untold tax benefits. Suddenly, a single statement erases all that. But of course, dems like the plastic queen of dc aren’t thin skinned or vindictive above all else, right?

“Most Russian FB adds were placed AFTER the election”

Exactly. But Theftbook has deemed many sources as not news and casts them out forever.

I recall a tidy list of conservative type websites being prominent on their “censor” list.

People forget. Fast.

For the record, Hillary lost because she’s unqualified, has an ego that far outstrips her abilities, and lots of people didn’t like her as a person. Clearly, Russia and Facebook had nothing to do with it. If it wasn’t for the fawning media, she would have lost by a lot more.

I keep hoping that she blows a major cranial artery, I want to see the blood blasting out of her mouth, eyes, nostrils, and ears.

I want to see it splatter about 20 yards around her.

But that’s just me.

So Nancy wants Chinese-type web censorship. She needs to look at the riots in Hong Kong,
