see that the reich wingers are still defecating the sh*t that DePape was really a left winger:
From the LA Times:
Conservative figures have continued to try to link DePape to Democratic or left-wing causes, often sharing an image of a supposed home of the alleged attacker displaying support for Black Lives Matter and an LGBTQ rainbow flag.
Ben Shapiro, on his popular conservative podcast, also read an excerpt from the Substack blog of writer Michael Shellenberger, which has widely circulated online. The writer describes a Berkeley house displaying left-wing flags and signs as the home of Oxane Taub and DePape’s former home.
DePape, however, does not reside there. The criminal complaint states that DePape lived in a garage in the backyard of a home in Richmond.
No losers, that is not fake news. Your stuff is the fake news.
DePape’s writings on blogs also show he had been drifting into right-wing conspiracies, espousing antisemitic, racist, misogynistic views. He touched often on unfounded theories like QAnon, Gamergate, and Pizzagate, among others.
His daughter verified at least some of his deranged reichwing posts.
A primo example of a phrase I learned just recently, which covers a whole lot of things from Pizzagate to the Jan. 6 insurrection to the hammer attacker: “Stochastic terrorism is inciting violence through rhetoric, but not explicitly. Instead, stochastic terrorism foments violence with implicit calls to arms and dog whistles, knowing that someone in the audience will eventually execute the implicit call. So the violence is ‘statistically predictable but individually unpredictable’, and, importantly, the speaker can plausibly deny any connection to the bloodshed.” —Rachel Laser, head of Americans United for Separation of Church and State
If you ask people “Which animal is deadliest to human beings?”, most of them will guess sharks, alligators, lions, tigers, bears, black-widow spiders, rattlesnakes, cobras, and the like. Not even close. Mosquitoes kill off more than all of those other creatures combined — over a million of us each year — by injecting their victims with malaria germs.
But the term “animal” is misleading. The one creature which kills more human beings than any other is … other human beings.
“Alleged Paul Pelosi attacker posted multiple conspiracy theories, by Casey Tolan, Curt Devine, Daniel A. Medina and Majlie de Puy Kamp, CNN. November 3, 2022
“(CNN) The man who allegedly attacked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband early Friday posted memes and conspiracy theories on Facebook about Covid vaccines, the 2020 election and the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, and an acquaintance told CNN that he seemed ‘out of touch with reality. . . .
“Linda Schneider, a California resident, told CNN she got to know DePape . . . [and] stopped communicating with him ‘because it seemed so dangerous,’ adding that she recalled him ‘using Biblical justification to do harm.’ . . .
“[His] social media presence similarly paints a picture of someone on a worrying trajectory, falling into conspiracy theories in recent years
“Last year, David DePape posted links on his Facebook page to multiple videos produced by My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell falsely alleging that the 2020 election was stolen. Other posts included transphobic images and linked to websites claiming Covid vaccines were deadly. . . . DePape also posted links to YouTube videos with titles like ‘Democrat FARCE Commission to Investigate January 6th Capitol Riot COLLAPSES in Congress!!!’ and ‘Global Elites Plan To Take Control Of YOUR Money! (Revealed)’
“Two days after former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of killing George Floyd, DePape wrote that the trial was ‘a modern lynching,’ falsely indicating that Floyd died of a drug overdose.
“He also posted content about the ‘Great Reset’— the sprawling conspiracy theory that global elites are using coronavirus to usher in a new world order in which they gain more power and oppress the masses. And he complained that politicians making promises to try to win votes ‘are offering you bribes in exchange for your further enslavement.’ (cont.)

This may have been a long shot—but wasn’t she in DC, so the whacko was on the wrong coast?
