Attempted Assassination of Nancy Pelosi
Feb 4, 2023: TPM: The Years Of Vitriolic Misogyny At The Heart Of The Paul Pelosi Attack
The video of the brutal attack on Paul Pelosi released last week brought a story back into the headlines that, somehow, had faded just days after David DePape broke into the home of the third most powerful person in the country, intending to hurt or kill her.
Within days of the video being released, the story has slipped from the national conversation again.

The Atlantic: The Dark Heart of the Republican Party
It might seem late in the game to point to any one event as a final or conclusive moment in the decline of the Republican Party. And I have no doubt that if the GOP returns to power this winter, its worst members will find new ways to appall decent people while gamboling about in jester’s bells for its base. (As my Atlantic colleague Adam Serwer has put it so well, “The cruelty is the point.”) But the reaction among Republican elected officials and their conservative-media life-support system to the beating of Paul Pelosi—by a man named David DePape, who was charged with attempting to kidnap Speaker Nancy Pelosi and admitted to planning to torture her—feels different. 11.1.22

San Francisco Gate: David DePape appears to have gone from far left to far right. It's more common than you think.
When DePape was last in the spotlight about a decade ago, it was as a nude activist. Photos showed him lounging in a stereotypical Berkeley hippie house with Gypsy Taub, the most infamous local nude advocate in recent history. But in the past 10 years, DePape’s beliefs appear to have shifted. Recent social media and blog posts attributed to DePape are filled with far-right conspiracy theories, ranging from repeating election fraud lies and COVID-19 conspiracies to questioning the Holocaust. His alleged internet history, rife with anti-LGBTQ and white supremacist content, looks nothing like that of a liberal Bay Area hippie. But DePape’s shift from progressive activism to QAnon-type conspiracy theories is more common than people think, extremism researchers say. 11.1.22 |

October 29, 2022:
Assailant who broke into Nancy Pelosi's house and beat Nancy Pelosi's husband (an 86 year old man) called out "Nancy" at first. Clearly he was hoping to find Nancy Pelosi. That's a clear result of the GOP demonizing Nancy Pelosi whenever they can. It's part of their talking points. Maga cult and elected GOPers also. Magas are officially a hate group, "christian" white nationalist and racist...and, anti-semitic. Before Trump was elected and won his first primary in Iowa he said "I love the uneducated!" That is the game he has played and he has an army of Magas who eat up the stupid and the hate and do his bidding, so to speak. He instigated the dumpster fire known as Jan 6...then sacrificed them and pretends he had no idea who they were. The very real threat is still out there. November 8 could be a bad day for America.
