The Hill reports:
A growing number of Democratic lawmakers are calling for Twitter and Facebook to pull down an edited video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that was posted by President Trump on Thursday, reigniting a battle over how much responsibility social media platforms should assume over viral footage that could mislead viewers.
The five-minute video, which was pinned to the top of Trump’s Twitter feed on Friday, shows Pelosi ripping up Trump’s State of the Union speech as he reunites a military family, announces a scholarship award for a young girl and awards the Presidential Medal of Freedom to conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh.
Pelosi did rip up Trump’s State of the Union address, but it was after he was done giving his remarks on Tuesday night. She sat solemnly through the theatrical speech as the president doled out the awards and gifts. She publicly ripped up a copy of his remarks just after he had finished speaking.
