Pam Bondi did not post on X promising to investigate Nancy Pelosi. The post was shared by a parody X account impersonating Bondi, and there is no record of it on her official profile. The satirical account later changed its name to “Not Pam Bondi” and was removed. The post claimed that Pelosi’s salary is $175k while her net worth is $200 million+, and promised to investigate her finances. Pelosi’s actual financial disclosure shows assets between $90 million and $300 million, which is partially due to her husband’s success as an investor. The compensation for most House members is $174,000 per year, while the salary for the House speaker is $223,500. The post is an example of “stolen satire,” where content originally presented as parody is reposted in a misleading way. Pelosi, who Trump previously attacked, secured her 20th term in the House and remains a prominent figure in politics. The Facebook user who shared the post was not reachable for comment. This incident highlights the importance of fact-checking and verifying information before sharing it online.
