It's on Facebook from someone's page. He made the video...

Just share his post.

If you can't share his post, he must've disallowed shares on his page, and you'll have to ask him.

that doesn't get you closer to posting here at DP.

you'll have to learn how to embed a video with the source code. It's really complicated and annoying, and every time I've tried writing the code myself, I have failed miserably.

click on the "..." button and look for the "embed video" function it should give you some code.

Thank you for your help, Winston.

I don't know everything I've found is for web developers not forum posters.

You can't post facebook videos here. Or at least, as not as far as I know.

There isn't support for it in the debate politics code. Also, places like Twitter and Facebook like to keep their people within facebook and twitter. It's in Facebook's best interest to make it so that to see a facebook video, you have to go to facebook.com. More advertising dollars for them.
