After all, it\u2019s always best to not get out over one\u2019s skis, a rule I\u2019ve not always followed in the past, not so much on RedState, but in the lightening fast environment of social media.<\/p>\n<p>But here I sit on a Saturday morning, reading all the details that have come out over the last day, and I can\u2019t help but come to one conclusion: This story makes no sense.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t mean that as a way to suggest some grand conspiracy. I mean that much more as an idle observation. What has come out about the attacker and how the attack unfolded simply doesn\u2019t add up. Now, that could be because we just lack some additional facts that confirm the predominant narrative, but until those facts arrive, no one can be blamed for looking at the situation with some heavy side-eye.<\/p>\n<p>What we do know is that Paul Pelosi was attacked with a hammer. He suffered some kind of injury that required a trip to the hospital and <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/bobhoge\/2022\/10\/28\/paul-pelosi-expected-to-make-full-recovery-after-skull-surgery-biden-blames-too-much-vitriol-n650731\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an operating table<\/a>. We know that the police showed up prior to the attack commencing and that Paul Pelosi was attacked in their presence. We know the assailant was <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/nick-arama\/2022\/10\/28\/about-what-the-pelosi-attacker-was-wearing-and-his-troubling-past-n650597\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">arrested in his underwear<\/a>. We also know that a glass door was shattered.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the assailant himself that is such an enigma, though. Shortly after his arrest was announced, the authorities claimed that he was a right-wing conspiracy theorist with ties to January 6th rhetoric. That led to the usual gnashing of teeth, accusing Republicans of somehow being responsible for the attack despite that rule never applying to Democrats when leftwing attackers target conservatives.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, the problem is that fact patterns about the assailant appear to be clashing. For example, aside from supposedly being a January 6th nutter, we know that David DePape is a hemp jewelry-making nudist protester. Here\u2019s what his house looks like.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cBlack lives matter\u201d and other left-wing signs or symbols line the outside of the hippie Berkeley, Calif. commune of where the Pelosi beating suspect lived. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kClLWDUCdN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/t.co\/kClLWDUCdN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Andy Ng\u00f4 \ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08 (@MrAndyNgo) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MrAndyNgo\/status\/1586246913539670016?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">October 29, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Additional pictures show signs supporting Bernie Sanders and Chesa Boudin, both far-left figures.

I honestly don\u2019t have an answer to that, and that\u2019s the problem. The public needs more information, and this event can\u2019t be allowed to be swept under the rug in the way Paul Pelosi\u2019s DUI arrest was.<\/p>\n<p>We need to actually see DePape\u2019s \u201cright-wing\u201d social media posts that were allegedly deleted before the incident was even announced. Because right now, we have what we can actually see telling one story and what the authorities claim but won\u2019t show us telling another story. Perhaps it all connects perfectly (or he\u2019s just a clinically insane person), but the burden of proof is not on the public. It\u2019s on the Capitol Police and the FBI to give us all the facts so that the assailant and the situation begin to make some semblance of sense. Until that happens, suspicions are going to continue.<\/p>\n<p>And let me be clear, none of this would matter if the press and Democrats weren\u2019t jumping to the conclusion that this attack is somehow the fault of all Republicans. Those kinds of accusations are leading to people being suspicious of DePape\u2019s background. If everyone had just come together and accepted that a crazy man did something crazy, it wouldn\u2019t be an issue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\nTrending on Redstate Video\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve stayed away from the story of Paul Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi\u2019s husband, being attacked by a hammer in his San Francisco home to this point because of how confusing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1716620,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[547],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1716617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-bongino-report"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1716617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1716617"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1716617\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1716620"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1716617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1716617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1716617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
