House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats slammed Facebook for not stopping Republicans from posting misleading Census-like ads.
WASHINGTON — Facebook will immediately remove Trump reelection campaign ads on its social media site that civil rights groups and Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, complained looked like official Census forms.
“This is on the part of Facebook a robust, unacceptable interference in the Census,’’ Pelosi said a press conference. Leaders of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, the Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus held a press conference Thursday, calling it a priority to make sure communities of color are accurately counted. They argue those communities have historically been undercounted, costing them millions in federal funds.
Story continuesFacebook and other social media companies have said they would work to make sure misleading information about census, elections and other issues would not be posted.As first reported by technology newsletter Popular Information, the Trump Make American Great Again Committee, one of the president’s reelection fundraising committees, bought ads on Facebook through the Donald J. Trump and Mike Pence Facebook pages to promote an “official 2020 Congressional District Census.
Clicking on the survey takes users to a website for the “Official 2020 Congressional District Census.” Although the website is labeled “Certified Website of President Donald J. Trump,” a box on the upper left hand corner of the screen says “for Official Use Only” and displays a “Survey ID.”“Do you think Nancy Pelosi and the Radical Left are putting their personal anti-Trump agenda ahead of what’s best for the American people?” one of the questions reads.
Rep. Steven Horsford, D-Nevada, head of the Congressional Black Caucus Census Task Force, asked the Trump administration to stop the practice.
