U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., once called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a "petty tyrant" but a "traitor"? A recent Facebook post sharing a 16-minute video featuring Paul suggests that he calls the California Democrat just that.

"Shes a traitor! Rand Paul uncovers Nancy Pelosis dark secrets in public," a description of the video in the Oct. 3 post says.

This post was flagged as part of Facebooks efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook.)

The video in the post shows Paul speaking on the U.S. Senate floor in May about a bill to provide $40 billion in aid to Ukraine to help the country fight Russias invasion. But Paul doesnt mention Pelosi, or even utter the word "traitor." Rather, he explains his objections to the legislation, such as using taxpayer money for a foreign war.

U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, appears in the videoslast two minutes, giving a speech on the House floor. But he also doesnt call Pelosi a traitor.

Searching online for evidence that Paul elsewhere called Pelosi a traitor, we found none. U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., once called Pelosi a traitor, drawing news coverage of her remarks, but we found no similar media reports about Paul.
