  Guy had a list of democrats he was going to target after Pelosi, which completely disproves the whole gay lover idea. Why would he have a premeditated hit list of unrelated people if it was a crime of passion against his lover? https://www.foxnews.com/politics/paul-pelosi-attack-suspect-david-depape-list-people-target-police https://www.foxnews.com/politics/paul-pelosi-attack-suspect-... https://www.cbsnews.com/news/paul-pelosi-attack-suspect-target-list-sources-say-nancy-pelosi-husband/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/paul-pelosi-attack-suspect-targ... Let alone the screaming that he was gonna smash Nancy's kneecaps, etc. How does that fit into the whole thing with the hitlist, do you think? It was ridiculous on the face of it, the fact that the attacker bonked a hippie chick in SF and did some nudity stuff with her doesn't mean he wasn't a conservative attacking the targets that conservatives have railed against for a decade. He literally posted about the pizzagate hoax lol. It was a ridiculous circumstantial theory spun by some conservative website to deflect blame for their violence as usual, and even Fox admits the guy had a list of targets to attack next. Meanwhile it's literally a microcosm of the disinformation problem, you have people actually taking this whole idea seriously when literally a few minutes thought shows it's not reasonable at all. But it was a politically advantageous theory to push.
