Last week, a distorted video of Nancy Pelosi started making the rounds on the internet, slowed down to make it sound as though she was drunkenly slurring her words. In another era, this clip would have remained in the dark corners of the web. But in the hellscape in which we currently reside, it spread like wildfire, with one version logging more than 2.8 million views and being shared by the president’s lawyer along with the note, “What is wrong with Nancy Pelosi? Her speech pattern is bizarre,” a rich statement from a guy whose TV appearances suggest he hasn’t been sober since the late ’90s, right around the time he went on an unhinged rant about ferrets. (Rudy Giuliani later deleted the tweet, but maintained that he’s observed “a gradual change in Pelosi’s speech pattern and gestures for sometime.”) Once it became clear that the clip was fake and that the Pelosi was not, in the words of one Twitter user, “drunk as [a] skunk,” YouTube elected to remove the video, saying it violated the company‘s policies, while Twitter declined to comment on the matter, and Facebook—where it appears the most views occurred—chose to leave it up, despite its independent fact-checking groups deeming it “false.” And, unsurprisingly, that decision has not sat well with the House leader.

Speaking to KQED News, Pelosi said that Facebook’s refusal to nuke the video proves the company actively contributed to Russia’s disinformation push during the 2016 election. “We have said all along, ‘Poor Facebook, they were unwittingly exploited by the Russians.’ I think wittingly, because right now they are putting up something that they know is false. I think it’s wrong,” she said. “They’re lying to the public…. I think they have proven—by not taking down something they know is false—that they were willing enablers of the Russian interference in our election.” While Facebook claims it has reduced the clip’s appearances in people’s news feeds and added a pop-up box that tells users there is “additional reporting” on the video, nowhere is it made clear that the video is outright distorted.

“For me, I’m in the arena, I’ve been the target all along,” Pelosi added. But “I wonder what they would do if Mark Zuckerberg wasn’t portrayed, you know, slowed down, made to look” drunk, she said. If it was “one of their own, would this be—is this their policy? Or is it just a woman?” (In a statement, Facebook told the Washington Post, “We don’t have a policy that stipulates that the information you post on Facebook must be true.” During an appearance on CNN Friday, Monika Bickert, a Facebook vice president for product policy and counterterrorism, insisted, “We aren’t in the news business. We’re in the social-media business.”)

Pelosi, obviously, isn’t the only one pissed about Zuckerberg and company’s stance. On Friday, Senator Brian Schatz tweeted, “Facebook is very responsive to my office when I want to talk about federal legislation and suddenly get marbles in their mouths when we ask them about dealing with a fake video. It’s not that they cannot solve this; it’s that they refuse to do what is necessary.”
