Some Democrats and their companions immediately attacked Paul Pelosi’s attack on Friday, citing it as an excuse to attack right-leaning people. However, there is no evidence that there was any political motivation or that anyone from the right was involved.
Even a Harvard Law professor should have known better than to jump on this topic.
This is nightmarish. I wish Paul Pelosi a full and rapid recovery. The far right has normalized the use of violence even against the families of public officials with whom somebody might disagree. This absolutely must stop. https://t.co/TZbcCCqyHn

Tribe stated that the far right had “normalized violence even against families of public officials with whom someone might disagree.” “This must end immediately.”
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R. IL) made the dumbest observation. He will go straight to conspiracy theories and drinking blood from babies. It is shameful that he tried to justify his Jan. 6 Committee political witchhunt.
I’m waiting for the police briefing, but i want to be clear: when you convince people that politicians are rigging elections, drink babies blood, etc, you will get violence. This must be rejected.
This is why the Jan 6th committee is so important.

Kinzinger moaned, “I’m still waiting for the police briefing. But I want to make it clear: When you convince people politicians are rigging elections, drinking babies’ blood, etc., violence will ensue.” This must be rejected. This is why Jan 6th committee is so crucial.”
A 42 year old obsessed with Jan 6, election conspiracies, religious tones, attacks an 82 year old man with a hammer. Paul was struggling with him. How terrifying.
Thank you to SF police. Every GOP candidate and elected official must speak out, and now. @SpeakerPelosi

He could wait at least one day for the police to comment before he begins shooting from his mouth. Although the police have yet to confirm that anyone was targeted, there are reports that he said, “Where’s Nancy? Where’s Nancy?” The police also reported that Pelosi held the hammer and was likely to defend himself. After that, they struggled and the man struck Pelosi with the hammer. It’s unclear what the man was doing at his home, or what his motivation was.

“A 42-year-old obsessed with Jan 6, religious tones, and election conspiracies attacks an 82-year-old man with a machete. Paul was struggling to keep up with him. It was so terrifying. Thank you, SF police. Every GOP candidate or elected official must speak up, now.
There are many reports about his social media posts, but the police have not confirmed them and haven’t discussed his motivation. We’ve already noted that he was a Berkeley-based hemp jewelry maker who was allegedly involved with a nudist demonstration in San Francisco’s Castro area. He was also said to be a transient. We don’t know if he broke in search of a place to live. We won’t jump to any motivation, unlike Adam.

What does the GOP have anything to do with this, other than the bewildered mind of Adam Kinzinger? Let’s talk about all the conspiracy theories that the left spread about President Donald Trump and the 2016 election. Let’s talk about the attacks on Trump supporters by left-leaning people for wearing a hat. Is that where the right-leaning people are condemned? Is there any condemnation from the left regarding the assassination plot against Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s life? Nancy Pelosi, the House Speaker (D-CA), encouraged people to continue going to justices’ houses to change their vote. Before a Bernie Bro erupted at the GOP’s baseball practice, the Democrats whipped up anger and nearly killed Rep. Steve Scalise (R–LA).
And unlike Democrats, who celebrated Rand Paul being attacked by Nancy Pelosi and Christine Pelosi’s child, all Republicans who have spoken thus far have unanimously condemned the attack against Paul Pelosi. This includes Senator Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. Ted Cruz (R–TX).
This important point was also made by a local.
I will speak out. What happened to Paul Pelosi happens to ordinary San Franciscans every single day, perpetrated by the very fringe left, lunatics (but I repeat myself), the addicted and organized crime.
Who speaks up for them? https://t.co/xDfupRLCI2
