DePape was high on conspiracies.
NEW: A motion filed by DA @BrookeJenkinsSF today reveals David DePape allegedly told police he was on a "suicide mission" the night he sought to kidnap @SpeakerPelosi.
"Well, she's number two in line for the presidency, right?" he told Pelosi. "We've got to take them all out." pic.twitter.com/c816hz9s0X

The man accused of assaulting Paul Pelosi with a hammer allegedly told police he was on a “suicide mission” and had a target list of state and local politicians as part of his effort to combat “lies” coming out of Washington, D.C. Via @hollybdc https://t.co/qT2SAD2gNE

We've fact-checked a series of unsubstantiated claims about the Paul Pelosi attack: that he and attacker David DePape were friends having a same-sex affair, that the glass door was broken from inside, that DePape was in underwear, that his blogs were fake.https://t.co/3ib3MGwJ33

its all well and good to fact check the gay paul pelosi hoax stuff but at some point you have to acknowledge conservatives aren't being bamboozled, they know perfectly well it's fabricated bullshit but just think it's funny and clever to pretend they don't

DePape was, in many ways, also a victim of the people who told him lies that demanded extreme action that they themselves would never take. https://t.co/D4dFUiIMzw pic.twitter.com/8DskyCPU6Y

Conspiracy theorists have asked why Pelosi would’ve told 911 the man’s name, David, and described him as a friend. But the DA says that never happened: Pelosi said he had a problem and didn’t know the man in his house; *DePape* spoke up and said he was a friend named David. pic.twitter.com/xXBrKlskRT

Democracy, hanging by a thread.
Kristina Karamo, the Trump-backed GOP candidate for Michigan secretary of state, once expressed support in 2020 for one of QAnon’s most outlandish conspiracies: that elites drink the blood of children and ‘sell baby body parts’ after abortions. https://t.co/vjB8hcpfK5
