Contrarian Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 ---> Motivation under investigation. Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was “violently assaulted” by an assailant who broke into the couple’s San Francisco home early Friday morning, the speaker’s office said in a statement. “The assailant is in custody and the motivation for the attack is under investigation,” read the statement from Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill. Paul Pelosi, 82, “was taken to the hospital, where he is receiving excellent medical care and is expected to make a full recovery. The Speaker was not in San Francisco at the time,” Hammill said. The San Francisco Police Department did not immediately respond to CNBC’s inquiries.https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/28/house-speaker-pelosi-husband-assaulted-at-home-assailant-arrested.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infidel Dog Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 There was video of the assailant being led away. I think that's what I saw this morning in the background of the written story. Pretty sure that's what it was. It was a thin, middle age, oriental guy in a black T shirt. Doesn't seem to be a lot of information about him yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeaverFever Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 More predictable right-wing violence, the natural result of the constant toxic and violent MAGA rhetoric and baseless extremist conspiracies.

I went looking for it and couldn't find it again. Sometimes when they don't want to tell you background facts they'll wait a couple days. Unless he's a white Christian Trump supporter, of course. Right now if anybody knows anything about the assailant or his motive nobody seems to be talking. Could be anything. Maybe when Paul Pelosi got nailed for drunk driving he wasn't alone for all we know. Maybe this guy who jumped Paul has a daughter. Who knows.

Contrarian Posted October 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) CNN is saying the following: A source tells the assailant who attacked Paul Pelosi was in search for the Speaker of the House. The intruder confronted the speaker’s husband in their San Francisco home shouting “where is Nancy, where is Nancy?” Apparently the security detail was not there, and spouses do not get security detail. A video was obtained by Capitol Police which is working with the FBI & San Francisco Police Joint Unit. I don't think the video is public yet. If you find it, post it.

What I said was at this point we know nothing about the assailant or the motive. I expect the info to trickle out though. Even so it will be a bit before it can be trusted.

Contrarian Posted October 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) CNN is saying now that the person tried to tie up Pelosi's husband. Now, I hope CNN is verifying all this as I don't think the network can survive another Jussie Smollett episode. I highly doubt it though, Pelosi did not make it into political leadership to make such amateur mistakes/scenarios.

What I was talking about is you NOT KNOWING what happened, but your entire speculation options were leftists and victim blaming. What I'm saying is we do KNOW the history of who was looking to harm Nancy. It was MAGA goons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are circulating a MAGA account, not confirmed is him just yet. Report from local CBS News, cited CNN says Depape posted multiple conspiracy theories about Jan 6th, COVID and videos of Michael Lindell (pillow guy). Alleged Paul Pelosi attacker posted multiple conspiracy theories Quote The man who allegedly attacked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband early Friday posted memes and conspiracy theories on Facebook about Covid vaccines, the 2020 election and the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, and an acquaintance told CNN that he seemed “out of touch with reality.” .... Last year, David DePape posted links on his Facebook page to multiple videos produced by My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell falsely alleging that the 2020 election was stolen. Other posts included transphobic images and linked to websites claiming Covid vaccines were deadly. “The death rates being promoted are what ever ‘THEY’ want to be promoted as the death rate,” one post read. DePape also posted links to YouTube videos with titles like “Democrat FARCE Commission to Investigate January 6th Capitol Riot COLLAPSES in Congress!!!” and “Global Elites Plan To Take Control Of YOUR Money!

Yeah, surely has mental health issues, whoever he is. But I'm sort of at the point like with dogs- you hear that a family dog has killed one of the kids you sort of assume it's a pit bull and then wait to be corrected as necessary. So many MAGA fringe nuts have talked about killing Pelosi it's easy for a deranged person to think it sounds like a great idea from inside the wrong media bubble.

Infidel Dog Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Sounds pretty confusing at present. Lots of conflicting details. For example he either entered with a hammer or took the hammer from Pelosi in a tussle. Might be a name mix up as well. For now I imagine people will be grabbing the detail they like for partisan purposes and running with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infidel Dog Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 That wasn't the BS. The BS was you trying to cover up what my claim was with a diversion to a tiny factoid that didn't actually matter. What was my actual claim? Here ya go. Also from my link: Quote Some initial media reports regarding Sicknick's cause of death were incorrect.[3][34][10] On January 8, the Associated Press,[19] The Wall Street Journal,[37] and separate stories in The New York Times cited two anonymous law enforcement officials as saying that Sicknick was struck in the head by a fire extinguisher.[38][39] Similar reports followed on January 9.[40] My point was don't take first reports as gospel. I could also have mentioned Jussie Smollet, Nick Sandman. NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace's lynch noose hoax or too, too many other warnings of why not to take early news to heart. BTW: Quote In an April 19 press release, the medical examiner's office said that Sicknick's death was by natural causes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
