- No sooner had news broken that Paul Pelosi had been attacked in his home than the media tried to pin the attack on conservatives.
- The attacker, David DePape, has been described as a Green Party member and nudist activist – but the media didn’t let those facts stand in the way of their wild speculation.
- The San Francisco Chronicle said DePape recently wrote a blog that “repeated far-right conspiracy theories or included bigoted language about Black people, Muslims, Jews, immigrants and LGBTQ people.”
- MSNBC opinion columnist Ruth Ben-Ghiat tried to tie the Green Party nudist to MAGA Americans. “Trump’s fateful speech — which directly preceded the breach of the U.S. Capitol — shows how demagogues can get people into this different state of mind.”
