Attempted Assassination of Nancy Pelosi

[brigid]

A guy who was radicalized by Gamergate (seriously, I'm not exaggerating here) broke into Nancy Pelosi's house. She wasn't there so he ran around screaming "where's Nancy" (a cry used by rioters looking for her on Jan 6th when they invaded the capital), and hit her husband Paul in the head with a hammer, fracturing his skull. She's alive because she wasn't home.

Right now, if you do a search on google for "Nancy Pelosi" you have to scroll down quite a bit to get to a news story about this alarming, important event. The NY Times published it BELOW THE FOLD on the front page of their physical newspaper.

Stories reveal that the officers saw a guy with a hammer wrestling with an old man and yelled at him to drop the weapon. The man then swung the hammer down into Paul Pelosi's head, at which point the cops rushed in to tackle him.

There isn't much coverage in general, the day after the attack, and much of it is liberally studded with "rise in violent crime" and "defunded police" gibberish. One article mentions a former DUI, like that's relevant to what happened, to an old man being attacked by someone who wanted to murder his wife because she's a politician.

It's weird and violent and frustrating and violent and scary and violent.

Ya. This entire thing and the media just keeps helping pretend it isn't what it is -- a deliberate action to assassinate a Democrat, a woman, who is the Speaker of the House, because the fascists are deliberately stirring the pot with lies -- another word the media refuses to employ for lies -- to make these things happen. And the media plays along.
