When Frank Ciccarelli hired David DePape, he was homeless and living under a tree in Berkeley’s Aquatic Park.
But he was quiet, likeable and a steady worker building decks with Ciccarelli for six years, he recalled Monday. And politically liberal.
Three years ago, Ciccarelli worked out a way for DePape to move into a converted garage in Richmond. It was that single car structure with a plywood floor that the FBI searched over the weekend.
Ciccarelli says over the years, he watched DePape’s steady descent into extremism. It started when DePape would turn off NPR news in the morning on the way to jobsites.
“It was a gradual process – it was over six years,” he said, “day by day.”
While normally quiet, DePape eventually began to repeat talking points that Ciccarelli recognized as being espoused in right wing circles.
Ciccarelli says he last saw Depape when he paid him three days before the attack. He says what happened at the Pelosi’s home shocked him.
But he says there were signs of mental illness. Recently, he said, DePape started talking about building a physical home for an imaginary fairy.

So how long did the MSM take to find a dude to fit their agenda
You can be turned into a right-wing extremist by watching NPR?
Who knew?
How much did they pay this guy? Those who recently lived with or around him say he’s a leftist.
The perils of ‘turning off NPR.’ What dreck!
“... It started when DePape would turn off NPR news....”
Frank Ciccarelli obviously violated employment law. I-9? Social Security number? The guy is not a legal citizen.
He began his descent into Republican views while living in a garage?
The cats would come and whisper Conservative ideas into his ear.
More baloney.
“DePape started talking about building a physical home for an imaginary fairy”
There was nothing “imaginary” about Mr. Pelosi.
;-)
The garbage they spew can deive a man insane.
Correction - listening to NPR makes you want to kill yourself, not someone else.
I think he was insinuating that ‘turning off NPR’ was a sign of extremism... not turning it on...
Did they find him...or hire him?
Quote: “So how long did the MSM take to find a dude to fit their agenda?”
A ton longer than it took an independent reporter to find Depape’s house with the gay rights and BLM signs and interview his neighbors.
Need to take a close look at Frank’s affiliations. If this isn’t a favor then it’s blackmail.
“It started when DePape would turn off NPR” ...
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I think a Freeper predicted this a wekk or so ago when he said the dems would not just let this election happen and lose. That there would be some kind of event. Seems like this always happens.
Dems are unpopular and polls show GOP gonna win!
Later, Dems race ahead in polls!
Magically, Polls find sudden surge for GOP just before election!
Weird event happen right before election that benefits the dems.
rinse repeat
every time.
He attacked Paul while the cops were watching. It is almost as if he was a lover reacting to some kind of betrayal knowing this was his one and only last chance for revenge.
Abolish NPR.
This is embarrassing. They’re trying SO hard to make this guy a rightwinger.
“He started turning off NPR,” lol. I did that in 1982.
Has Ciccarelli been on the FBI payroll for several years, or is he just a recent addition to their “sources and methods”?
