MAGAs Are Now Spreading Disgusting Rumor That Paul Pelosi Was ‘Involved’ With His Attacker

UGH, MAKE IT STOP, PEOPLE!!!

I was surfing on Twitter, looking for some news. I saw Andrew Gillum trending. And I immediately got this sick feeling in my stomach.

As you remember, Andrew Gillum barely lost to Ron DeSantis in the 2018 Governor election in Florida. Following the loss, Gillum had some struggles which he has been open about. In early 2020 he was found very inebriated in a Miami hotel, unclothed, and with a man suspected to be a gay prostitute.

After the incident, Gillum entered rehab for alcoholism and treatment for depression he said was triggered by losing the gubernatorial race by less than half a percentage point. In an interview with Tamron Hall later in 2020, Gillum admitted he was bisexual.

Well, now people on the right and MAGAs are suggesting the same thing about Paul Pelosi.

Pelosi was attacked early Friday morning by 42-year-old David DePape. DePape attacked Pelosi with a hammer, which required surgery to repair skull fractures. Luckily and thankfully Pelosi is expected to make a full recovery.

If you look at DePape, he is exactly what you’d expect. A Trumper and QAnoner, and it appears he also has some mental issues which usually comes along with believing the QAnon conspiracy.

This is the type of content DePape would post:

Well now there are some people, and some big people, suggesting that Pelosi and DePape were lovers and got into some quarrel. This is based on the fact that there was an apparent third person in the house that night, who opened the door for the police when they arrived. Now, the Pelosis live in a mansion. Perhaps this was a live-in maid who was asleep at the time and woke up when they heard the commotion. Who knows. But it doesn’t mean Pelosi is gay.

They are also saying it’s odd that both men were in their underwear. And no, it’s not odd that Pelosi was in his underwear, he was probably just awoken. This happened at 2:30am. As for DePape, he’s a homeless, mentally ill man and who knows why he was undressed. But leave it to MAGA to go to the gutter.

Mike Cernovich is a big name in right-wing politics, and was a big spreader of the pizzagate conspiracy. Here is what he is saying:

So Cernovich is carefully hinting there is something more to the story and suggesting Pelosi is gay. And Cernovich is huge in right-wing circles. A blue-checked verified Twitter user, he has himself broken some big stories. When he talks people pay attention.

Others are doing the same, but with far less tact:
