Americans Disgusted After Trump Spreads Lies About the Attack of Paul Pelosi, ‘Weird Things Were Happening’
Well, you knew it would happen. Donald Trump is spreading lies about the attack on Paul Pelosi, lies that have already been debunked. But does Trump care? Of course not. If he can take a shot at “Crazy Nancy” and her husband, he’s going to do it, and Trump is now claiming that there were “weird things” happening in her household.
During an interview on The Chris Stigall Podcast, Trump was asked about the attack of Paul Pelosi, who was assaulted at his home with a hammer last Friday. Pelosi was hospitalized with a skull fracture but is expected to make a full recovery. Although a recent statement from Nancy Pelosi said it would be a “long” recovery.
“Well, it’s weird things going on in that household in the last couple of weeks,” Trump said. “You know, probably you and I are better not talking about it.”
But of course Trump kept talking about it. He repeated the debunked conspiracy theory that the glass at the Pelosi home was broken from the inside. “So it wasn’t a break in, it was a break out,” he added. “I dunno, you hear the same things I do.”
The man charged in the assault, David DePape, told authorities that he broke in with a hammer through a glass door, according to the affidavit, disproving that theory.

Trump also agreed when Stigall said the 911 tape seemed to suggest the Pelosis knew the identity of the suspect — which is also untrue, according to Paul Pelosi and authorities. SFPD has clearly said Pelosi did NOT know DePape.
“Yeah, yeah,” Trump said. “It’s a lot of bad stuff. I’m not a fan of Nancy Pelosi but what’s going on there is very sad.”
Stigall, prompting Trump again, said “there just seems to be more to this story.” Trump agreed, saying “more than the traffic accident,” a reference to Paul Pelosi’s car crash in May that resulted in his guilty plea for DUI.
As Paul Pelosi reportedly remains in ICU, Donald Trump spreads baseless conspiracy theories the attacker has already disputed:

People were disgusted:
Of course. Trump stokes conspiracy theories surrounding Pelosi attack: “Weird things going on in that household. The glass it seems was broken from the inside to the out, so it wasn’t a break in, it was a break out. Strange the cops were there from the moment it took place.”

Whenever there’s a choice, TFG will 99% take the awful, less diplomatic one.

Police reports confirm this is a lie. Trump supporters in Congress will no doubt repeat it. They should be subject to criminal sanction if they do. This is how we pull the country out of this death spiral.

He should be sued along with many others. If what they are doing isn't defamation and harm that can be proven. They won't learn until they are held accountable.

Let's cut to the chase. The assault of Paul Pelosi was an attempted assassination of Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, Democrat, and a public political figure, driven by the #MAGA nation and followers of Donald Trump. #stopcoveringup #truth #fascismfollowers

Pretty much anything Trump says is a lie as he has no interest in imparting truth to others. Where's the money or advantage in that?

Such a horrible human being. Easily one of the top most awful human beings in the history of the world.

I really hope @SpeakerPelosi and @sfpelosi hire a real good lawyer. I hope they sue every last one for defamation! This is disgusting and my heart breaks for the Pelosi family. No family should have to go through this bs daily! My god, when does it stop?
