I had to post the archived version of the article because the Santa Monica Observer yanked it after Elon Musk retweeted it this morning (to Hillary Clinton, of all people).

"Now tell me something. These people are worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Nancy is third in line to the Presidency. You don't think they have the most amazing security? And by the way, when Pelosi was in that drunk driving accident, he had a young man with him, and that too was covered up by the police and the press."

It just keeps getting fishier and fishier.

Paul went cruising the Gay bars and got drunk.
Past midnight, Paul spotted, through his beer googles, a man he wanted to bang.

Paul brought David home, and conflict ensued when David asked for cash upfront

I doubt this case will ever get to trial. Either the charges will all be dropped or a very favorable deal to DePape will be made where he is released with time served, and a fat check under the table.

It was all obvious to me when the news story first broke. They really do think we are fools, don’t they.

Democrats lash out at GOP after Pelosi assault

A growing number of Democrats are openly blaming Republicans for failing to rein in a rise in violent rhetoric in the wake of an assault on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, who survived with serious injuries.

“A far right white nationalist tried to assassinate the Speaker of the House and almost killed her husband a year after violent insurrectionists tried to find her and kill her in the Capitol,” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said on Saturday morning. “And the Republican Party’s response is to either ignore it or belittle it.”

As police continue to investigate the attack, several of Pelosi’s fellow Democrats are pointing fingers at their opponents in Congress — accusing Republican leaders of largely sidestepping the issue of political violence and rising threats for years. Some also called out what they saw as a lackluster public response to the assault, including from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).

“Yesterday, a man sharing that member’s rhetoric tried to assassinate the Speaker and her spouse,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Saturday morning. Then, referring to McCarthy, she wrote: “What has @GOPLeader said? Nothing. This is who he is.”

In the hours after Pelosi’s husband, Paul, was assaulted, dozens of Republicans — from former Vice President Mike Pence to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell — condemned the attack and wished him a quick recovery.

The response from McConnell’s House GOP counterpart was more muted. Rather than McCarthy issuing a statement himself, a spokesman for the GOP leader provided statements to reporters when asked, but none that have yet been posted to his social media accounts as other Republicans did. (A McCarthy spokesman said on Friday: “Leader McCarthy reached out to the Speaker to check in on Paul and said he’s praying for a full recovery and is thankful they caught the assailant.”)

On Saturday, McCarthy expanded on that statement in an interview with Breitbart radio, condemning the violence and saying what happened to Paul Pelosi was “wrong.”

“I reached out to the Speaker. I called her, I know she was on a plane to California, but I was able to text with her to tell her about our prayers for Paul. Thankfully he’s gonna be OK,” McCarthy said.

“But thankfully the attacker — he’s a deranged individual — but thankfully he is arrested,” he continued. “And we’ve watched this with Lee Zeldin, we’ve watched this with Supreme Court Justices, this is wrong — violence should not go. You watch what happened to Steve Scalise and others. This has got to stop.”

Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), the No. 2 House Republican, offered a more forceful response Friday, tweeting from his account: “Disgusted to hear about the horrific assault on Speaker Pelosi’s husband Paul” before adding: “Let’s be clear: Violence has no place in this country.”

Political violence is personal for Scalise. He suffered life-threatening injuries after a politically motivated gunman opened fire on Scalise and a group of other House Republicans who were practicing for the congressional baseball game in 2017. The third-ranking House Republican, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), also issued a statement, calling for the assailant to “be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

Biden on Pelosi attack: ‘Enough is enough’

Both Omar and Ocasio-Cortez are among the GOP’s most popular political targets, often appearing alongside Pelosi in attack ads against Democrats. All three women have spoken about the escalation of threats they’ve faced in the Donald Trump era.

For Ocasio-Cortez, that included an anime video created last year by a fellow member of Congress, Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), that shows him killing her. Gosar was later censured by the House, and while McCarthy privately told members it was wrong, he did not vote to punish his colleague.

In her Saturday tweet, Ocasio-Cortez said: “@GOPLeader defended him.”

The blame didn’t stop at McCarthy. Another Democrat, Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), started a Twitter spat with the firebrand GOP lawmaker, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), after he was unsatisfied with her condemnation of the Pelosi attack.

“YOU called for Nancy Pelosi to be executed, @RepMTG,” an irate McGovern wrote. “YOU said she should be hung for treason.”

The attack comes in the final two weeks of a tense midterm election, where both Republicans and Democrats have vilified their opponents in campaign ads. And Democrats say it’s that rhetoric — the GOP’s demonization of Pelosi in decades of ads — that has escalated threats against her and her family.

For instance, the House GOP’s top super PAC has highlighted or mentioned Pelosi in at least 29 TV ads in the last week alone, according to Democrats tracking the issue. In all, Pelosi was mentioned in 860 ads since the start of this midterm cycle.

The accused assailant, a 42-year-old California man, had asked “Where is Nancy?” before his assault of her husband.

President Joe Biden on Friday evening directly tied those words to chants from pro-Trump rioters as they overran the Capitol complex on Jan. 6, 2021.

“We need to say it out loud,” said Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.). “Militia maniacs, and other rightwing domestic terrorists have exploded because Republicans have spent years winking, nodding, and endorsing their extremism.”

Olivia Beavers and Ally Mutnick contributed.

“Except one of these two men, was married to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.”

I sympathize. She would turn her husband gay.

Wait, so the cops smashed their way in ? Yesterday it was a “unknown person” that let them in ? Remember Marina Santos ? She was Hillary’s “maid” who ran copies of classified info. Probably a ChiCom asset.

Then we have Feinstein’s Chinese gofer /chauffeur , again, Chinese spy.

I wonder if the Pelosis have any live in help ? Could the “unknown person” be an agent of a foreign entity ? A live in housekeeper ?

Mr. Pelosi’s DUI was bad enough , but the gay prostitute thing is a real briar patch. Are Pelosi’s masters tired of her and want her gone ? He downlow hubby seems to be a vulnerable spot for her.

Well hell, why the shock? Heck, I’d figure at least 45% of the Dims are homos, who what’s the deal? Figure if he is gay, then Nancy is calling up the guys to come over, or she is taking some of those young guys home, like Slick Willie had Monica over. I forget what you call those kids, Pages or something the other?? Monica has to wear a mask and pay him to hump here, other wise the guy would throw up that close to that mug ugly face! Yikes!!!

“RP stated that he doesn’t know who the male is but he advised that his name is David, and that he is a friend,”

So this only makes sense if the RP is the third person present at the residence. He is not familiar with the relationship between the two but acknowledges the appearance of recognition between them.
