Man Obsessed With Online Conspiracy Theories Convicted in Paul Pelosi Attack

The jury reached its decision after deliberating for roughly eight hours following a trial that lasted four days. Mr. DePape’s lawyers did not contest the evidence against him, which included police body camera video of the attack on Paul Pelosi and Mr. DePape’s own admissions to the police and on the witness stand.

OMG..the lies!

The cynical right wing liars like Bannon, started the rumors that somehow this was some kind of gay hookup gone wrong. They knew they were lying but what was astonishing was how many of the idiot cult followers and conspiracy nuts latched on to it and believed it! The stupidity is beyond belief.

And it was sooo funny to the right wing sadists that an elderly man was attacked with a hammer and suffered a fractured skull. Soooo funny. So many 'good' jokes to tell.

And yesterday at a rally Trump was still making fun of the attack and his sick, disgusting followers were laughing and cheering. Sooo funny.

Mr. DePape, a solitary figure who once lived under a tree in a Berkeley, Calif., park, became obsessed with right-wing conspiracy theories like Pizzagate and QAnon, and seemingly embraced the dehumanizing language about Ms. Pelosi that conservative pundits and politicians had used for years.

At a rally on Saturday in New Hampshire, for example, former President J. Donald Trump called Ms. Pelosi a “crazed lunatic” to a crowd of supporters, and added: “What the hell was going on with her husband? Let’s not ask.” And, of course, the MAGAts laughed and cheered.

Sorry righties, you simply cannot make a case for some kind of equivalence.

It's obvious that the right has gone down a dark path led by their evil puppet masters.
