Democrats are going down the same path as Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot et al. All for the ‘greater good.’ Authoritarianism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy.
Dems demand Twitter, Facebook take down edited video of Pelosi ripping up State of the Union speech posted by Trump
By Adam Shaw | Fox News | February 9, 2020:
Nancy Pelosi says ripping up Trump’s State of the Union was ‘the courteous thing to do.’
Democrats are calling on Twitter and Facebook to take down an edited video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., ripping up the State of the Union address — claiming it’s designed to “mislead” people.
“The latest fake video of Speaker Pelosi is deliberately designed to mislead and lie to the American people, and every day that these platforms refuse to take it down is another reminder that they care more about their shareholders’ interests than the public’s interests,” Drew Hammill, Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff, said Friday.

“This video is clearly another deceptive effort by @realDonaldTrump to mislead and manipulate the American people,” said Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas

Hey @jack, show your commitment to cut down on the misinformation corroding our nation and take down this fake video. https://t.co/C2uAFPfWzL

On Thursday, Trump posted the video, made by Turning Points USA, which shows the “powerful American stories” that Trump highlighted in his State of the Union address interspersed with the moment immediately afterward when Pelosi tore up the speech.
The video appears to be a continuation of the point made by Republicans that Pelosi, in ripping up the speech, was also ripping up the stories of those Americans that Trump highlighted in the address — including stories of a Tuskegee airman, Americans killed in combat and a military family being reunited.
But Democrats objected to the video because it implies that Pelosi ripped up the papers after each story was told — which she did not.
The video was also posted to Facebook. Hammill was quizzed by Facebook spokesman Andy Stone about what he found objectionable to the video: “Sorry, are you suggesting the President didn’t make those remarks and the Speaker didn’t rip the speech?”
what planet are you living on? this is deceptively altered. take it down.

“What planet are you living on?” Hammill responded. “This is deceptively altered. Take it down.”
Along with Escobar, other lawmakers rushed to condemn the video and social media platforms for not removing the video.
“.@Twitter must take this misleading video about @SpeakerPelosi down now.,” Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., tweeted.
Nancy Pelosi says ripping up Trump’s State of the Union was ‘the courteous thing to do’Video“This video is doctored. It has been up, and pinned to the President’s page, for nearly a day. Trump posted it to deceive Americans about @SpeakerPelosi’s actions and record,” Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va., said. “If I posted a doctored video it would be a clear violation House Rules. Twitter should take this down.”

They need to have certain standards.

Republicans, meanwhile, pushed back against the efforts by Democrats to censor the video.
“They’re arguing it’s deceptively edited to misinform and want twitter to censor it,” National Republican Senatorial Committee senior adviser Matt Whitlock tweeted. “But.. she tore the speech that had those stories. Repetition to highlight exactly what she was tearing is not ‘misinformation,’ these Reps are gaslighting.”
The video is the latest controversy in the fallout over the State of the Union. The House on Thursday voted to table a Republican-led resolution to condemn Pelosi.
The vote, which fell along party lines, 224 to 193, effectively killed the measure introduced on Wednesday by Rep. Kay Granger, R-Texas, amid widespread GOP furor over Pelosi’s actions. The resolution called the speaker’s public shredding of the address “a breach of decorum” and said it brought “discredit on the House.”

I believe GOOD Americans see the Dems for who they REALLY ARE, DESPERATE AND NARCISSISTIC. And, I think THAT will be reflected in this year’s ELECTIONS when they lose most of their base. And, if the Dems lose most of their elections, THEN THEY WILL RESORT TO TOTAL VIOLENCE AGAINST THE REST OF US. It will be well planned ahead of time by the Democrat Party and then they will blame it on US.
THIS IS WHAT EVIL AND DEMONIC PEOPLE DO.
Lock and load, folks. BE PREPARED FOR THESE VIOLENT DEMONIC PEOPLE.
I feel sorry for the Democrats who are actually kind and fair. You may want re-think who you will vote for this year. We. the People know there are LOTS of fair-minded and kind Democrats out there. WHERE ARE YOU?
BTW: Hey, Dems: a lot of us download the videos and articles about the foolish antics against Trump by the FASCIST DEMOCRAT PARTY, so scrub the Internet all you want. WE LOVE OUR HISTORY and your Dems’ history will be a DEPLORABLE ONE and long remembered.

Nazi Nancy did not expect backlash for her childish, unprofessional, and subversive actions. Now, she and her despotic wannabe Party demand the people denial via censorship to cover-up her treasonous hissy-fit. It typifies the faux-Democratic Party’s endeavor is ultimately totalitarianism.
Does anyone expect anything else from a Party that thrives on corruption, treason, to topple this Constitutional Republic? A rhetorical question. Nazi Nancy should be kaput along with her entirety of the faux-Democrats.

The truth really does terrify them. In a globalist sharia world of the future all books will be hand in and replaced with “acceptable” versions(if you are lucky). This is why we all should collect such books as 1984 as proof and be prepared to make family realize how important they are so as to keep them safe. I am very concerned that there is an absolute scarcity of novels projecting forward into the Leftist future that they seem to want so badly. I know of one that all publishers refused and I wonder how many others have been written and ignored, This is how they control the future.

Hey, WTF? At the outset, she and her supporters were using the defense of it being her First Amendment right, which was more tasteful than her, “It was the polite thing to do, considering the alternative”, as though she wanted to stick it where the sun don’t shine.

Democrats have so lost their moral minds they seem to think hypocracy is a virtue. They used to be the guardians of free speech, now it’s just their speech. Used to be they cared the most, now they want to abort alive babies, kill them by dissection in the womb then carefully extract their parts so they can sell them, while calling this all pro-choice. They condemn Trump for paying Stormy Daniels to possibly cover up inappropriate sex, while forcing the public to pay for abortions which document inappropriate sexual behavior at the rate of 3000 plus a day in the US. If it was appropriate you’d have a baby.

Instead of the bible, the Democrats base their warped philosophy on Orwell. Given full control, they would recreate the “Ministry of Truth,” and simply re-write history to suit their preferences. They are currently doing just that by tearing down Confederate statues, and changing the names of public places that were named after people they don’t like. They are masters of Orwellian “Double Speak” and all the hypocrisy that goes with it.

Nancy Pelosi is extremely evil, she comes from the Baltimore democrat corruption machine the D’Alesandro family, both her father Tom D’Alesandro and her brother Tommy D’Alesandro were Mayors of Baltimore, a well oiled corrupt Democrat Family.

That video IS A MATTER OF PUBLIC RECORD – leave it alone!
The document that she ripped up WAS ALSO A MATTER OF PUBLIC RECORD – given to the Speaker, BY THE PRESIDENT, to filed with the House Documents ….. it was NOT like “other copies”, it was a legal & LAWFUL document ….. damaging such a document IS A FEDERAL CRIME, A FELONY, and it, definitely CAUSE FOR THE REMOVAL OF PELOSI and her imprisonment.

Only in the upside down Orwellian world of leftist Democrats is real video footage considered fake news. The video was not doctored, censored or manipulated. Just like the live footage of Biden bragging about his quid pro quo in Ukraine, the SOTU video shows live footage of Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripping up her copy of President Trump’s State of the Union speech. These videos document the outrageous behavior of both Pelosi and Biden – BUSTED!!!
