(Slay News) – The ex-head of President Joe Biden’s Disinformation Governance Board, Nina Jankowicz, called out Speaker Nancy Pelosi for spreading blatant misinformation in fundraising emails.
Jankowicz busted Pelosi (D-CA) for “blatant misrepresentation” of polling data she used to trick Dem voters into thinking the Democrats’ chances in the 2022 midterms are better than they are.
Nina said: “While it’s not the most outrageous falsely-attributed statement I’ve seen in a 22 fundraising email, this blatant misrepresentation of @fivethirtyeight’s work is unacceptable. Dems should drop this disinfo (as I would wager it was deliberate) & focus fundraising on real issues.
“In every Congressional testimony I’ve given, I’ve emphasized that disinformation is a democratic issue, not a partisan one.
“The current polarized, hysterical climate around imaginary versions of counter-disinformation work makes doing it impossible.”

“Yeah, this is straight-up misinformation from Pelosi. We have Democrats as heavy underdogs in Florida and Ohio.”
According to Mediaite:
“In Pelosi’s email, she was so excited that she said she was in “disbelief,” claiming Silver’s FiveThirtyEight had Democrats tracking to win seats in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, and Ohio.”
In every Congressional testimony I've given, I've emphasized that disinformation is a democratic issue, not a partisan one.
