It’ll never happen but republicans should admit their rhetoric caused this attack. Their timid ‘outrage’ over the event is, to me, proof of their responsibility.

They won't even admit there was an attack. They think it's either a false flag or a gay hookup. They are disgusting.

They are disgusting; if a republican was attacked they’d be hell to pay.

These miserable losers screeched for weeks about the "assassination" attempt on Kavanaugh, where a guy paced outside his house and then called the cops on himself.

“When officers arrived on the scene, they exchanged fire with the suspect, running towards him while dodging the spray of bullets, and eventually killing him.”

The guy was shot to death, my brother. What more “hell to pay” would you like for him?

No one on the left made a mockery of that crime, we called it what it was.

Kind of hard not to when a large and outspoken portion of their cohorts believe and parrot grandiose lies and straight up false narratives…

They won't. So many of them on twitter and social media are still running with the deranged debunked conspiracy theory "He and Paul Pelosi were friends, and Pelosi let him in". "Objective" Elon Musk also shamelessly promoted the theory on twitter as well. A Fox reporter incorrectly stated that the assailant was only wearing his "underwear" and quietly corrected it, but the damage has been done.

Some of them are so delusional and think he's a "progressive" because there aren't Trump supporters in San Francisco (not true, 19% of San Francisco voted for Trump) and because his ex-girlfriend said he had some left leaning views 20 years ago when they first met. Even though his own daughter has stated that he wrote violent, right leaning stuff on his blog. They're of course ignoring all the crazy shit he posted about the election being stolen and his criticism of the January 6th committee over the past couple of years.

Edit: Since some guy responded to this comment with disinformation, here's the link that debunks his disinformation. (https://twitter.com/cwarzel/status/1586778890659565568). Also the assailant's own daughter says the websites are real and written by him.

It's The Gateway Pundit. One of the most insane and deranged conspiracy websites on the internet.

Apparently not.

But then how would you know you were wrong?

There was an interview with his neighbour that was posted yesterday. She says she’s unsure of his political leanings because she didn’t know him, but if she had to guess he would definitely be left leaning. Something to do with LGBT & BLM flags flying out the front of their hippie commune.

>The affidavit further stated DePape told police that Nancy Pelosi was the “leader of the pack” of lies promoted by the Democratic Party. DePape told police that other members of Congress would see that there are consequences to their actions when Pelosi, with broken kneecaps, would get “wheeled into” the House chamber, according to the affidavit.

Uh, I have a guess what his "political leanings" are. I don't need any neighbors to speculate.

How convenient, he just writes the feds an affidavit confessing to everything and confirming that he is indeed a hardcore MAGA supporting QAnon believer! Would love to see some genuine testimony. Honestly you couldn’t make this shit up

It seems you've already made up your mind and nothing will change it.

If all of this is true, release the undoctored security & body cam footage. That will put an end to all this. It’s telling in itself that they haven’t already 👍

CaptainNoBoat t1_iujn139 wrote

There's nothing remotely suspicious about the circumstances - this premise of yours that shady things "need to be cleared up" is completely fabricated and a bunch of right wing conspiratorial nonsense.

The police aren't going to release the security & body cam footage of the Speaker of the House's residence a couple of days after a political attack. Are you actually serious?

“We demand to see the tape of Paul Pelosi being the subject to a violence, I can’t believe it otherwise! The police are lieing, this is why we need to defund the cia and fbi!”.

No but seriously, rw’ers, including the bizarro comment demanding full video, want to meme this. It would br a grand slam for them if they got full vid so they could copy pasta and laugh about their guy doing a terrorism. When this sicko got booked, a TON of conservatives started a gofund me for him!

Lmao please. Video footage doesn’t put an end to anything. Hell the Maricopa election was live-streamed 24/7 every step of the way and MAGA still sent the ninjas over to investigate.

It’s also not telling at all that no footage has been released. It’s an active investigation.

No, it won’t. Nothing will. Evidence doesn’t end conspiracy theories. It just causes the people who hold the conspiracy theories to become increasingly detached from reality as they try to justify why the evidence must be fake.

It's only suspicious if you have the brain the size of a pea and don't know how anything in the whole world works. So thanks for letting us know who you are.

I’ll refer you to every politician that instigated Jan 6. Not to mention the mob that was he noting specifically for Nancy then too.

Nancy has been the target of GOP hatred for years.

MTG straight up called her a ‘traitor’ on Twitter, pretty sure anyway. She said in a few words that traitors should be killed, and that nancy was a traitor.
