US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Wednesday that Facebook Inc's refusal to remove a heavily edited video that attempted to make her look incoherent had convinced her the company knowingly enabled Russian election interference.
"When something like Facebook says, 'I know this is false ... – it’s a lie – but we’re showing it anyway,’ well to me it says two things," Pelosi said to applause at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. "I was giving them the benefit of the doubt on Russia ... I thought it was unwittingly, but clearly they wittingly were accomplices and enablers of false information to go across Facebook."
