Play all audios:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is facing renewed criticism over a tweet from 2017 claiming that the presidential election the year before was “hijacked.” “Our election was hijacked,” said
Pelosi’s 2017 tweet, which was not censored by Twitter with a warning label as many of President Trump’s tweets questioning the 2020 election were. “There is no question. Congress has a duty
to #ProtectOurDemocracy & #FollowTheFacts.” RECOMMENDED STORIES Several conservatives on Twitter have pointed to this tweet in recent days and wondered why Twitter and the media allowed
Pelosi to question the integrity of a certified election when Trump has been punished for doing the same. Twitter rolled out labels on election fraud in September 2020. “How does this stand
@jack?” Fox News contributor Lisa Boothe tweeted. “Hypocrites, all of them.” “BREAKING: Nancy Pelosi’s tweet spreading the debunked conspiracy theory that the 2016 election was hijacked is
