I did. The police have not concluded that the attack was politically motivated. What is interesting is that the victim was a career criminal and a Proud Boys thug. I think there may have been more to this and I’m not taking his word alone, let alone Rubio’s.

The guy was mentally ill. His ex reports that he thought he was Jesus at one point.

But feel free to keep beating the drum, voters are running away from your party because of it.

That might have been a reasonable conclusion except for the fact this was the second assassination attempt on Madame Speaker Pelosi.

Further, the J6 committee members and witnesses have all received death threats.

The second?!? Wow, so your theory is he was part of a larger conspiracy?

Do you think he's spoken personally with Trump, you know, about the plan?

Yes. She and Pence were targeted for assassination on January 3, 2021.

I believe that he may have been used by the people that want her assassinated.

P.S. I won't play childish games with you so you can save the patronizing.

So your source doesn’t support you, and also I found this interesting:

Writing for New York Magazine, Jonathan Chait took aim at “conservative organs,” including National Review, for “quickly repeating” Rubio’s account. He noted that the “initial police report noted no political motivation for the attack, which took place in a high-crime neighborhood.” He added the “true significance of this episode” was Monzon’s Proud Boys affiliation and his participation in the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Va. Chait noted that while Monzon has claimed he has been on a “path to de-radicalization,” a reporter who attempted to interview Monzon in the hospital this week was blocked by a “contingent of former and current Proud Boys.”

And from Chait’s article:

The true significance of this episode is a detail that emerged shortly after Rubio’s tweet: Monzon turns out to be close with the Proud Boys, a right-wing paramilitary organization. The Proud Boys, a sort of hybrid social club and political gang with racist and violent tendencies, played a central role in organizing the January 6 assault.

Last June, the New York Times reported on how the Proud Boys has begun to take over the powerful Miami-Dade Republican Party organization. It is one of the more alarming signposts of the Republican Party’s evolution into authoritarianism — I would say “most,” except that there are so many — because it signals violent and explicitly racist organizations are being formally welcomed into the party structure.

Monzon was one of the characters featured in the story. Before he joined the GOP, Monzon was involved in other white supremacist causes. He participated in the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, where he allegedly used his Confederate flag to attack counterprotesters. His social-media posts from that period are filled with slurs like “Here’s to all the filthy n- - - - - - out there” and “Dirty n- - - - - - love abusing power.”

So yeah, there’s more to this than Rubio’s highly dubious claim.

Quit beating around the bush. That's what it was. Quit saying anything else. Stop starting all these threads without saying what it was.

This is 100% because of trump and MAGA and every person that supports him.

It wasn't an attack on the speaker it was an attack on some guy that happens to be married to the speaker.

Pelosi's husband is nobody.

From the article

Monzon, 27, told Hialeah police that Casanova told him “he could not pass through because he was a Republican,” and if he continued to walk through the neighborhood that he would sic his two German Shepherds on him and shoot him, according to the report.

No doubt this incident could've ended up a national tragedy had she been home, or Paul didn't get that call out.

The guy is a crackpot. So were John Hinkley and Lynette Squeaky Fromme. There's 10,000 nutters on the streets of San Fran.

DePape said he was looking for Nancy to break her kneecaps and wheel her in front of her colleagues so they would know what could happen to them.
It was reported that he had a list of targets.

"wheel her in front of her colleagues so they would know what could happen to them."?

So, you're saying that he believed he could kidnap Nancy in San Fran, travel with her captive back to DC, then *checks notes* wheel her into the Congressional House Chamber right in front of her colleagues?

If that was his plan, then that is one fantastical plan from the mind of a maniac.

I'm not believing any claims have video evidence or it's dismissed.

They are not permitted to release evidence during an investigation. It compromises the case until all the pieces can be put together.

My best guess with this one, is it will be even more secretive because they don't want any copy cats since Nancy is still seated (and, presumably in danger).

I also just read that SS knew of a credible threat against Schumer but didn't reveal it for over an hour.

Given their role in whatever was planned for J6, obstruction of justice, releasing a false statement about VP Harris, etc. there are a ton of rocks to turn over before those kind of details are released to the public.

Care to answer the question if indeed Paul Pelosi opened the door for police. Why did he not just run through it?
