Alleged Paul Pelosi attacker David DePape ‘fried his brain’ with drugs, embraced QAnon: acquaintances
NY Post ^ | 10/31/2022 | Marjorie Hernandez and Ben Kesslen

RICHMOND, Calif., — The crazed man who allegedly attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer was deeply involved in conspiracy theories like QAnon and had “fried his brain” with drugs, people who knew him told The Post.

“I think he was traumatized… It got worse and worse because he went down a rabbit hole and he was watching videos all the time,” Frank Ciccarelli, who employed DePape for six years at his landscaping business, told The Post.

“When I met him he was more of a liberal early on … but it became the whole thing, Hillary Clinton, Pizzagate, the election was stolen, QAnon. He didn’t believe everything, and I tried to talk to him rationally, but there was just a block there.”

Ciccarelli said DePape — who allegedly broke into the Speaker’s home and shouted “Where’s Nancy?” while confronting her husband — “had a deep antipathy toward liberals,” but noted that “he never mentioned Nancy Pelosi.”

The 76-year-old described how DePape had been sleeping rough when he first met him, but he’d helped him find a place and he had been living in the garage of a 90-year-old former photographer for the last two years.

Adjusting the narrative one data bit at a time. Within two weeks we will be told that David was a personal friend of Donald Trump and that he was just doing him (Trump) a favor for going after Pelosi.
/s (is it really necessary? )

Bombshell Report: Berkeley Nudist Who Allegedly Attacked Pelosi Is in US Illegally

The Western Journal. ^ | October 31, 2022 | Richard Moorhead

A man arrested in the home invasion beating of Paul Pelosi, the husband of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, is an illegal immigrant

Fox News journalist Bill Melugin, citing a source with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, tweeted that David DePape is in the country illegally.

The source described DePape as a “longtime” visa overstay, Melugin said.

In interviews with CNN, relatives of DePape said he grew up in British Columbia before moving from Canada to California decades ago.

KRON-TV in San Francisco reported that DePape is part of a nudist activist group in the city’s Castro district.

Some of the Berkeley resident’s neighbors reportedly describe him as a habitual drug user who exhibited symptoms of mental illness.

Critics of California’s “sanctuary state” laws pointed to DePape’s visa status as evidence of the failure of such policies.

He wasn't, unless his underwear had pockets. The federal complaint against him said he had various items in his pocket when taken into custody.

Frank Ciccarelli, who employed DePape for six years at his landscaping business...

So this narrative is from an admitted criminal.

All the reports for the first several days repeated that he and Pelosi were in their underpants. You and the media will not take that away from us.

There is evidence that he is also a really close personal pal of Trump...

...And that his brothers and sisters were killed at Sandy Hook.

The story changes every hour, day and week.

An evolving narrative.

Progs love them some evolution.

DePape never met a conspiracy theory he didn’t like.

Actually what you stated doesn't mean he wasn't in is underpants. I'm sure his clothes were on site and they let him put them on (after inspecting them) before taking him to jail.

Many claim that Q is a branch of Scientology - that they call themselves “anon” is indicative of that. The movement “anonymous” was supposedly out to destroy Scientology but they dwindled away.

I’m looking forward to Scientology getting its tax exemption removed and seeing the Miscavige clique scrambling to pay property tax on its many, many properties in Clearwater - properties that are sitting empty and unused thanks to the IRS TAX EXEMPTION.
