House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) ripped into Facebook during her weekly press briefing and accused the social media company of “schmoozing” the Trump administration out of tougher regulation. She said:

I think that they have been very abusive of the great opportunity that technology has given them. My thought about them is that all they want is their tax cuts and no antitrust action against them, and they schmooze this administration in that regard because so far that is what they’ve received. What they have said, very clearly, very blatantly, is that they intend to be accomplices for misleading the American people with money from god knows where. They didn’t even check on the money from Russia in the last election. They never even thought they should. They have been very irresponsible. Again, as you say these are people that we’ve known and worked with over time. Actually, Facebook is down the peninsula but they do have an office in my district and I think their behavior is shameful.
