  • An image shared on Facebook more than 121,000 times claims House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tweeted, I am disgusted with ‘President’ Trump allowing people to keep more of the money they earn. Verdict: False There is no record of Pelosi ever tweeting this statement. The tweet has been fabricated. Fact Check: The image , which has been shared more than 121,000 times, shows a screen grab of an alleged tweet from Pelosi from December 2017, presumably referencing the tax reform bill President Donald Trump signed into law earlier that month. The alleged tweet was later deleted, according to text below the screen-grabbed tweet. I’m disgusted with ‘President’ Trump allowing people to keep more of the money they earn, Pelosi purportedly tweeted. It is this type of widespread theft of public resources that keeps America from being great ‘Mr. President.' But there is no record of Pelosi tweeting the statement. The Daily Caller News Foundation searched Pelosi’s verified Twitter account and ProPublica’s archive of her deleted tweets, but didn’t find anything resembling the statement attributed to her in the Facebook post. An internet search also failed to turn up any evidence suggesting that the tweet is real. Social media users often fabricate tweets from politicians using websites like TweetGen and the now-defunct Tweeterino . This particular fake tweet has circulated online since 2017 and has been previously debunked by fact-checkers .
