Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is catching heat from one of her party’s own leaders on disinformation.
The former director of the Disinformation Governance Board, Nina Jankowicz, caught Pelosi spreading false information in attempt to raise money from Democrat donors.
Former executive director of the Disinformation Governance Board, Nina Jankowicz, has used her fact-checking abilities to slam House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for spreading false information in fundraising emails.
On Tuesday, Jankowicz, tweeted that Pelosi’s team put out a “blatant misrepresentation” of polling data in a recent fundraising email sent to the Speaker’s constituents.
Jankowicz – the short-lived head of the Department of Homeland Security’s fact-checking arm – came across RealClearPolitics senior election analyst Sean Trende’s post exposing the misleading email, which was shared by election and polling data analyst Nate Silver.
Trende’s tweet contained a screenshot of the email from [email protected], which claimed that polling data form “Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight just announced that Democrats are poised to win SIX senate seats this November.”
Pelosi hasn’t responded to Jankowicz yet, but you can add this to the list of growing inner-party duels taking place within the Dem party apparatus.
