After Rand Paul’s neighbor attacked him so viciously that Paul suffered broken ribs and a punctured lung, Nancy Pelosi’s daughter joked that the neighbor was right. Despite the fact Paul had been mowing his lawn with headphones on, Democrats suggested Paul had provoked the fight. The media never so much as tut-tutted.
After Democrats ran ads against Paul Ryan showing a Paul Ryan look-alike rolling a grandmother in a wheelchair off a cliff, James Hodgkinson attempted the mass assassination of Republican members of Congress. His attack came after more than one Democrat Congressman said Republicans wanted you to die as their solution to healthcare. It came after Democrats said Republican plans for “net-neutrality” would kill people. It came after Democrats said Republican tax cut proposals and Obamacare reforms would kill people.
The media never suggested Democrat rhetoric led to the mass assassination attempt on Republicans.
After a would-be assassin showed up to kill Bret Kavanaugh, the media never suggested all the hyperbole, attacks, and discredited smears on Kavanaugh provoked the assassin to target Kavanaugh specifically among the five justices who voted to overturn Roe.
But Paul Pelosi gets attack at 2:30 a.m. in his San Francisco home by a man in underwear and every major media outlet in America suggests Republican attacks on Nancy Pelosi caused it. The Washington Post, which never did a story suggesting left wing rhetoric caused the mass assassination attempt on Republicans, did a full story on how the Pelosi attack came after years of right wing attacks on Pelosi.
You’ll have to forgive me, but it actually is more and more clear that much of the political press in America has picked a side. More importantly, I think most Americans now know the political press has picked a side.
This now explains why Herschel Walker in Georgia can surge into the lead in Georgia despite all the allegations against him. The public does not believe them and does not think the press has fairly covered the matter.
This explains why Dr. Oz is surging into the lead in Pennsylvania. The public now realizes how much water the press carried for John Fetterman.
This also explains what is about to happen. The American people realize that if the press has carried this much water for John Fetterman, reporters really are covering for Joe Biden’s mental and physical decline.
Sometime after 2am, David DePape forced his way into Paul and Nancy Pelosi’s home in San Francisco. Pelosi told the intruder he needed to use the restroom and went into the bathroom where his cell phone was and called 911. The intruder intended to detain Pelosi until the Speaker of the House arrived. Police arrived within two minutes of the 911 call and saw signed of forced entry. They found Pelosi and DePape both holding hammers. DePape took Pelosi’s hammer from him and began attacking Pelosi. Police stopped him.
Contrary to some reports, the 911 call between Pelosi and police involves Pelosi saying he did not know who the intruder was but that the intruder himself identified himself as a friend.
The man is, yet again, a crazy person, and we do not know how or why he was able to get into the Pelosi home at that time of night.
David DePape was a drug addled homeless man who lived in a hippie enclave. He suffered from delusions and was estranged from his pedophile lover. He professed that Jesus of Nazareth was the anti-Christ and his professed politics wove together Black Lives Matter, left wing rhetoric, anti-semitism, and right wing QAnon conspiracies.
The man was a psychotic drug addict with an amalgamation of views as crazy people often have.
That the media is using this, less than ten days before the election, to try to help Democrats and claim Republican rhetoric provoked the attack is dishonest, disingenuous, and yet again discrediting.
Erick's piece is just one more example of the downfall of the rule of law. By law, the attacks on Paul Pelosi and Rand Paul are both crimes, and should be reported and prosecuted accordingly. But because several generations have now been taught to think with their feelings and apply moral equivalency, we get crap like this. And people wonder how pre-WWII Germany could have been led so astray.
There was an interesting statistic Chuck Todd highlighted today on Meet the Depressed. Threats against members of Congress has increased 144% from 2017 to 2021.
