Trump Posts About the Passing of Jerry Lee Lewis, But Is SILENT Over What Happened to Paul Pelosi
Singer and pianist Jerry Lee Lewis, the hell-raising rock ‘n’ roll pioneer and later a country star, has died, according to his rep, Zach Farnum. He was 87.
His death had erroneously been reported by some outlets on Wednesday. TMZ had reported that Lewis had passed, and other outlets quickly followed, as TMZ is usually accurate when it comes to celebrities. But they were off by a few days.
“Judith, his seventh wife, was by his side when he passed away at his home in Desoto County, Mississippi, south of Memphis,” Farnum’s statement said. “He told her, in his final days, that he welcomed the hereafter, and that he was not afraid.”
Of course the “Great Balls of Fire” singer was also known for his marriage to Myra Gale Brown, his first cousin once removed and the daughter of Lewis’ bassist. She was 13 at the time. Lewis was 22. Which, ew. Which is probably why Trump liked him and posted a message about his passing.
Trump wrote, “Jerry Lee Lewis was beloved by everyone, a real bundle of talent, energy, and everything else necessary to be a star. He just passed away. Our warmest regards to his wife, Judith, and family. He will be missed!”

But there has not been one peep out of Trump about Paul Pelosi, the husband of Nancy Pelosi who was attacked in his San Francisco home early Friday morning. Last we heard Paul Pelosi was in brain surgery, but is expected to make a full recovery.
#BREAKING UPDATE: A hospital source tells NBC Bay Area's Investigative Unit that Paul Pelosi is undergoing brain surgery after he was attacked with a hammer at his San Francisco home. https://t.co/0D2ejMNZ9R

And Trump couldn’t even send a “best wishes” post? His ridiculous and complicit wife couldn’t send a quick tweet? Of course not. Total silence. Which is the message. Not only does Trump not care, he’s probably loving this.
We all know why Trump isn’t saying anything. Take a look at what people are saying:
The Speaker’s Husband is in emergency brain surgery right now because of political violence.
Trump normalized this.

Because of purposeful, utterly insane election related lies spewed by Donald Trump and his sycophants who grift off of him non-stop, a lunatic Trump cult member smashed Paul Pelosi in the head with a hammer today, who is now undergoing brain surgery. Those are plain facts.

Republicans are losing their ever-loving minds that Paul Pelosi's attacker is a QAnon conspiracy theorist. Trump, on the other hand, is probably loving it.

Gee, what a shock. David Depape, guy who attacked Paul Pelosi, is a full-scale Trumper who bought into every conspiracy theory sold by @GOPLeader @TuckerCarlson Trump @RepMTG @laurenboebert etc. Also sounds like QAnon cultist, like Greene. Trump is directly courting Q ppl now. pic.twitter.com/ry5OACCFqt

So, this is not surprising. The attacker of Paul Pelosi was deeply anti-semitic, a fan of right-wing conspiracists, and also of Jimmy Dore, who has become a right-wing conspiracist. This is what the Trump movement is turning people into. https://t.co/8VweL8xlZC

If Trump was caught beating Paul Pelosi with a hammer, Republicans would be defending him. Any questions?

Paul Pelosi's attacker was a Donald Trump supporter who admired Hitler, said Derek Chauvin was innocent, hated Ukraine, believed the election was stolen, followed Mike Lindell.
And you know what.
This is gonna be *THE* story until election day.
Only one party that hurts.

My thoughts re the violent attack on Paul Pelosi:
This violence will only get worse until we fucking hold the ringleader (Trump) accountable. His violent rhetoric and propaganda enabled these RWNJ’s to think they can get away with anything. It’s criminal. #FreshResists pic.twitter.com/snHvPZCXzn— Ashley is PRO-Choice ☮️ ✨♥️🌱🌏🥁🌈🕶🐝🌊✨ (@KuckelmanAshley) October 28, 2022
