So I've been watching for a few days now people talking about the attack on Speaker Pelosi's husband in their home and I think I'll sum up some of the horseshit I've seen with a few succinct responses:

The attacker was invited in. No, he broke in through the back door, breaking a glass pane.

The attacker was out on bail or out on parole. No. That is untrue.

Mr. Pelosi knew his attacker. No, they had never met.

They were lovers and it was a quarrel gone wrong. No. Again, they had never met before.

The attack was faked/staged. No. Mr. Pelosi suffered a broken skull and swelling of the brain as well as damage to some of his limbs. As of the writing he is still in the ICU.

The attacker is a liberal. No. He is a racist, transphobic, antisemitic conspiracy theorist.

San Francisco, where the attack took place and where I live, is a crime-infested cesspool. No. However, the home town of Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy, Bakersfield - where I have also lived, is a cesspool of crime.

The attacker was a nudist hippie leftist male prostitute on LSD. No, he was radicalized by Gamer-gate, Fox News, and right-wing rhetoric by lying right-wing politicians.

Hammer attacks happen all the time. No, you're thinking of guns.

David Wayne DePape lived in a house with BLM materials in the window. No. He lived in Richmond, California, which is a few miles north. That house they keep showing is where he lived about 10 years ago. He used to be that guy, before Gamer-gate and QAnon.

The attacker is an illegal alien. Hmmm, maybe? Lots of people are claiming this but all I could find was that he was born in Canada and moved to the US 20 years ago. He has children here.

This was a kidnapping/assassination attempt and the intended victim wasn't home. The attacker had with him at the time of the assault zip ties, a roll of tape, white rope, one hammer, one pair of rubber and cloth gloves, and a journal. He has admitted that he was at a minimum going to break Ms. Pelosi's knees.

Anyone who says otherwise is a cunt-faced lying motherfucking cock-sucking son of a bitch, and you can quote me.

And because I love you, allow me to introduce you to Magaziine:
