Guess what was totally absent from the trial?!?! All those claims that our defective units on here made; that is, that the attacker was a male escort who had a "lover's quarrel" with Pelosi. You guys were so sure!
The attacker's defense stated he was motivated by online conspiracy theories, like QAnon.
"DePape posted rants on a blog and an online forum about aliens, communists, religious minorities, and global elites. He questioned the results of the 2020 election and echoed the baseless, right-wing QAnon conspiracy theory that claims the U.S. government is run by a cabal of devil-worshipping pedophiles...DePape... allegedly told authorities he had other targets, including a women’s and queer studies professor, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, actor Tom Hanks and President Joe Biden’s son Hunter."
