Pam Bondi Accuses Nancy Pelosi of Stolen Satire in Recent Post

The claim that Pam Bondi posted on Facebook promising to investigate Nancy Pelosi is false. A Facebook post supposedly shared by Bondi stating that she would investigate Pelosi’s finances is actually from a satirical parody account impersonating Bondi. There is no record of the post on Bondi’s actual Facebook profile, and there are no credible media reports of her making such a promise. The post was shared with the caption “#DrainTheSwamp,” indicating a desire to root out corruption in politics. Pelosi’s actual net worth is estimated to be between $90 million and over $300 million, with her husband, Paul Pelosi, being a successful investor and developer. The post is an example of “stolen satire,” where content originally presented as parody is reposted in a misleading way. The parody account that shared the post later changed its profile name and was removed. Bondi, a former Florida attorney general and Trump supporter, was chosen by Trump for the role of U.S. attorney general after another candidate removed themselves from consideration. The post is an example of how misinformation can spread on social media platforms.
