The baseless theory about the assault of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul Pelosi trended on Twitter Monday morning after being boosted all weekend by prominent conservatives and the new Twitter owner Elon Musk.

Sitting politicians have also been mocking the attack. Rep. Clay Higgins tweeted, then deleted, an image mocking Speaker Pelosi, captioning the tweet, “That moment you realize the nudist hippie male prostitute LSD guy was the reason your husband didn’t make it to your fundraiser.”

Researchers have found that while DePape did hold anti-establishment ideologies, his online activity indicated a longstanding pattern of extremist beliefs, including QAnon conspiracies, Holocaust denail, false voter fraud claims, and screeds against trans people and “groomers.”

RollingStone Having your spouse attacked is already a nightmare. I can't imagine having such insulting conspiracy theories compounding that agony. I am so sorry for Nancy & beyond horrified by the rampant propaganda. Their sense of security has been lost along w/our nation's sanity 💜 😢

This is exactly how the Trump's 'fake' Russian collusion story started. It looks like someone needs to come out...

So the San Francisco police covered it up. Got ya

Only allowing false claims about Trump on Twitter died last week. Cheers to a level playing field.

Rolling Stone. Who really reads that rag.

He wanted ice cream

Where's police body cam or security footage? Lets clear this up with video.

The whole Pelosi attack smells like week old fish..

Really disappointed in rollingstone promoting that.

The commies are clutching their pearls!

😖

Choose 'This trend is spammy or harmful' from the menu to the right of the trending hashtag. I was blocking accounts for as long as I could stand to read them, but this is an easier option.

False claims? What are the true claims?

We’re an awful species.

elonmusk is awful.

what inside information do you have to say with certainty that it is baseless?

Nothing has been refuted about any claims to the incident with anything resembling facts. Why doesn't an actual investigative journalist start digging into what happened?

It’s over. We need to stop lying to ourselves.. we are closer to civil war than to solving these problems.

It’s no coincidence that Elon posted that cryptic tweet on Hillary‘s thread. Hillary is tied with Nancy Pelosi for being villainized by the Maga cult. Elon did it on purpose

Elon = Little Trump

Baseless? Do you have an investigative reporter on the story or do you just drink the Kool-Aid, too?

The best part of this whole thing is the Pelosi's could squash that story easily by simply releasing the camera footage from that night, showing the perpetrator breaking in. Don't even have to show the attack, just prove he did break and enter, and they have the true story.

What a flaming jacka*s, how long can this go on? Everyone: a Trumper now owns twitter & has the mindset of a revengeful teen…🤬

Baseless is blaming Republicans. Now back to Moscow with your crap

And this...

There wouldn’t be “conspiracies”. If the media was honest, gave the facts, instead of spreading conspiracies themselves about the perp being a Maga nut.

In a crisis people don’t build character as much as they exhibit character. In one tweet Elon showed the world his true nature.

Lol - This is FakeNews , to the crack social media team, please stop acting like the other fake news sites, stick to sex, drugs and alcohol…

Hilarious

Ah lads give it a rest. He is well known to frequent gay bars in SF.

Homes worth $15m+. Gated community. Camera's all over the house and neighborhood. Private security in the n'hood. Just how did this underwear bandit get in? Can't believe y'all about to smear a gay man to save an 82yr old's already 'Hammered' reputation.

They’re only way to survive is through conspiracies

It wasn't just reported by one place...

elonmusk going to raise his stock price by getting lies trending don’t buy a Tesla

But when the likes of you push baseless nonsense it’s ‘okay’ 🙄

I suspect that it might be an unforeseen consequence of owning Twitter and also being an influential speaker that comments by Elon might affect Twitter's trends.

Fascist supporter Musk believes other fascists shocker.

And they just keep saying what's Love got to do with it

Indeed. Please stop with this story, it's very tragic that Nancy has to deal with her husband bringing home male prostitutes, have sex on drugs with them on her bed... Poor woman, show some discretion, some grace

Cry some more you 🤡

Elon Musk, others amplify conspiracy theory about Paul Pelosi attackDays after finalizing his purchase of Twitter, the billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk shared an article claiming the attack on US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband was an altercation resulting from a drunken sexual encounter with a male prostitute. This is false; federal charging documents allege that the suspect broke into the Pelosi family's San Francisco residence in search of the congresswoman, and authorities confirmed he and Paul Pelosi did not know each other. Nonsense once again. The ONLY thing he said is that everybody could wait a moment until the police has found out what the real reason was. Your AFPFactCheck sucks! AFP They have security cameras. Release the footage. Release the body cam footage when the police arrived. 🤷‍♀️ they release body cam footage all the time why not here. AFP Release the security footage
