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 info@pelosiforcongress.org, which claimed that polling data form "Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight just announced that Democrats are poised to win SIX senate seats this November."
The email continued, "John Fetterman is WINNING in Pennsylvania, Raphael Warnock is WINNING in Georgia, Val Demmings is WINNING in Florida, Catherine Cortez Masto is WINNING in Nevada, Maggie Hassan is WINNING in New Hampshire, Tim Ryan is WINNING in Ohio."
Trende fixated on the claim that Demmings is "winning" in Florida. The journalist slammed the email in his caption of the screenshot, writing, "Here in the real-world Silver gives Demings a 1-in-17 chance of beating Rubio, but sure, why not?"
Silver, the founder of polling data site, FiveThirtyEight, quote-tweeted Trende’s tweet, commenting, "Yeah, this is straight-up misinformation from Pelosi. We have Democrats as heavy underdogs in Florida and Ohio."
Jankowicz shared Silvers’ post as well and applied her own fact-checking analysis. She also berated Democrats for sending out the email.

You mean that a major political party in the United States has engaged in dishonesty during a fundraising campaign? When did this start happening? These operations are supposed to be above board!

In a word .... Trump.The GOP does have some puzzling weak candidates they are stuck with in some of these races. What possessed the GOP to get behind a couple of these folks is head scratching.
Well, maybe one benefit of this is it breaks the hold he has on the party.In a word .... Trump.
He loves celebrities, and he has known both Herschel Walker and Dr. Oz for a long time. Neither one has any business in the United States Senate, but since Trump endorsed them ... they were nominated by the party which has forgotten how to think for themselves.
Kick Joe Manchin out of the Democratic Party, ex-Labor Secretary Robert Reich says: 'Already lost control'
Now they hate Mavericks.
News flash a-hole he represents his home state not the democratic party . This mentality is why the congress and senate get nothing done. Don't dare go against the party.
Manchin and Sinema knew Biden's plan would be a disaster for their states. They voted for their states not the democratic party.
All this time I thought congress was elected to represent their constituents and not what their personal beliefs were.Isn't this what everyone is looking for??????
"I am working hard here in Wyoming to earn every vote," Cheney said at one point. "But I will also say this. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to say things that aren't true about the election. My opponents are doing that, certainly simply for the purpose of getting elected.
"If I have to choose between maintaining a seat in the House of Representatives or protecting the constitutional republic and ensuring the American people know the truth about Donald Trump, I'm going to choose the Constitution and the truth every single day," she said at another.

I would hope that most people considered "telling the truth" to be part of their desired representation.All this time I thought congress was elected to represent their constituents and not what their personal beliefs were.

She’s angling for either a cabinet spot should the dem candidate win in 2024 or a show in CNN/MSNBC. Her time in congress is done.
