What will MAGA’s deflect to when discussing Paul Pelosi attack?

There already is. The attacker is a free range lunatic living in a storage unit and ranting about Jesus being the anti-Christ. They already decided it was a Trump conspiracy before the old goat got bopped. Although you’d think a rich man who makes his money and sits above the law through the political corruption of his wife getting a knock on the cranium would send them dancing in the streets.
That makes no sense. Are you charging a discount for your posts?
 
The valves are about to open on the right wing excuse faucet.

What do you think they will deflect to?

It’s not surprising what happened. Our conservatives have been spoon fed a steady diet of fear based propaganda. They live in an alternate reality where COVID was a Democrat plot to take down Trump. Etc.

So, introspection?! Nah. It’s time to fire up the Rolodex of excuses

Something I just read in another thread:

Tribal hatred is the enemy of the American people.
 
I offer Paul Pelosi a sincere "Get Well". It's the left wing idiots already assuming MAGA connections to the attack who are not sincere.
No 'assumptions' at all----------the attacker made it clear it was a political attack and it is being investigated as one. Judging from your post you are not sincere at all...............MAGAs have a tough time with showing Class
 
Other: "They'll admit the Pelosi attack was wrong but will accuse the Leftist media of paying no attention to the abortive Kavanagh assault."
 
What? Your not paying attention? It's was a politically motivated attack. The attacker asked "where's Nancy".

Maybe he was after her ice cream?
 
Crime is undefendable for Democrats. Finally hit someone who matters to them. Every victim needs justice.
It doesn't bother you that alt-right MAGA miscreants show an angry propensity towards violence?
 
I'm glad to hear that the senseless attack was not based in RW political ideologies.

Supposedly, crow tastes like chicken, albeit a little gamier. Many on this forum will get to eat a little crow.
Updates continue to help flesh out the intruder’s profile, David Depape, age 42. Some info:

-Raised in Powell River, British Columbia; he left Canada for Berkeley about 20 years ago.
-struggled with hard drugs at some points in his life.
-use to live in a storage shed; made and sold hemp bracelets.
-fan of My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell.
-anti-Vaxxer.
-angry over the Derek Chauvin verdict.
-enemy of the Global Elitist.
- prone to write anti-Jesus rants; rumored to use Biblical justification to pursue violence.
-disapproved of the Democrat FARCE 1/6 Insurrection Commission.
-nudist; father of three; anti-Semitic; angry about censuring.

No real surprise this NutCase found a home in Berkeley. Beyond my belief Berkeley fosters and tolerates eccentric, mentally ill people, I can not implicate any political entity by association with David Depape’s decision to attack Paul Pelosi.

Look a little harder?

Not sure what you mean,

other than maybe some would describe his views as majority alt-Right, that I sheepishly admit does not align in the least bit with my earlier assessment post #46 where I put him in the alt-Left camp.

Another ‘fuzzy for me‘ area also emerged with reconciling the concept of anti-Semitism with Left Wing ideology. My personal experiences put most anti-Semitism in Right Wing camps. When I research the subject, I read descriptions of both.

We know which camp hates Nancy Pelosi and we know which camp tended to privately smile over this violent incident.

In the Miami FL area this past week, one of Sen. Rubio’s more activist canvassers, neo-Nazi Chris Monson, ran afoul of at least two men while canvassing. I think a few parallels exist between the two incidents. In my mind, the neo-Nazi Chris Monson put himself out there in harms way a lot more than 82 year old Paul Pelosi, attacked in his home by an intruder.

I don’t have to go very far beyond being a fan on the pillow guy……..🤷

All of the above. You're going to love the new one, though. The Trump propaganda machine is claiming it was a lover's quarrel gone wrong.
 
I'd like to hear Rand "the punk" Paul answer. He knows what it's like to take a beating. ;)
Rand has the same level of integrity as Ted Cruz. Rand's just not as popular.
 
I am expecting a boilerplate statement from elected officials. Who knows with Trump? He's one insane conspiracy nutcase.
As far as I know, we have not yet heard from Trump. I expect he'll remain silent. It's the classiest thing he can do.

He was a nut, activated by social media. Like all the Jan 6 rioters. They sucked up the "Q" kool-aid.

In spite of my Best Efforts to keep it open, my Trumper List met it’s end years ago. No doubt about it, David Depape met my criteria for placement on my notorious Trumper list.

Doesn’t matter whether he voted or who he voted for, clearly a Trumper, Trumper, Trumper, Trumper!
 
Why is any deflection necessary?

Apparently, to try to prevent partisan hacks from assigning blame to any and all MAGA and/or Trump supporters.

That led me to choose “Scalia baseball incident” as my poll choice. It was also a violent, life threatening, politically motivated attack carried out by a single person. That “incident” differed somewhat since it was aimed at republicant congress critters in general, but close enough to make the point that holding Bernie Sanders responsible for the criminal act of one of his alleged supporters would be ridiculous.

Add QAnon nutjob.

 
How about nobody treats any attacks or any violent rhetoric with indifference, acceptance or defence? How about everyone starting with political leaders and media and ending with us even go so far as to condemn it and the rhetoric that spurs it. ? How about that? Last I heard McCarthy still hasn't.
Shumer: Gorsuch and Kavanaugh will"pay the price" "You won’t know what hit you,".
Pelosi: "their righteous anger into meaningful action"
Maxine Waters if Chauvin was acquitted: "stay in the street", become "more confrontational"
Maxine Waters: "Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere"

I haven't seen any condemnation of this stuff from any left wing posters. This is much worse than anything I have seen from Republican politicians.

The attacker was also a canuck nut case. Obviously you are more concerned with making MAGA connections then Mr Pelosi's health. Using your logic can we brand all librul democrats with the plot to kill SCOTUS justice Brett Kavanaugh, and all Bernie Sanders supporters for the librul moron who shot up a congressional baseball practice with the intention to kill every republican congressman in sight, nearly killing Rep Steven Scalise in the process? I expressed regrets about the attack on pelosi and expressed "Get well" wishes. You are angry that as a Trump supporter, I don't take responsibility for the attack. You are the one not showing any class. It's only about politics to you.
 
I voted OTHER as in ALL OF THE ABOVE.
 
Said the guy who's only response is a whataboutism. Real classy @f**k you Biden.
We completely understand why you libruls are allegic tio whataboutism. You want to brand conservaitves as negatively as you can, however you do not want your own ilk's similar behavior shoved back in your face. You want a free pass.
