Unconfirmed Conspiracy Theory Of Paul Pelosi's Alleged 'Gay Lover' Runs Wild On Social Media Following Attack
As usual, when an event occurs, there are reactions to it. With the event in question being the assault of Paul Pelosi by David DePape, there are two big reactions that are trending online in recent days — with some wild conspiracy theories being spread.
The first is that DePape was supposedly an alt-right radical that tried to break in and assassinate Nancy Pelosi, and the second is that he's actually a gay homeless prostitute that was engaging in some sort of 2 a.m. romp with Paul Pelosi that turned sour and ended with a hammer fight.
This second theory is currently running rampant on Twitter, following some unconfirmed reports that pushed a different piece of the story. This, combined with Paul's previous incident in which he was intoxicated, gave meme creators ample material to create some and post them online.

Literally NOBODY believes what the media is selling. The best outcome from this will be Nancy voted out of office. Obviously she needs to be home to keep tabs on her husband. #Pelosigaylover pic.twitter.com/ZMP1IvYn5P

As is typical when it comes to events like this, people will quickly start to create memes and push their version of what they think the events were — whether in jest or seriousness. This led to a lot of memes about Paul Pelosi being gay or having Nancy Pelosi supporting him for his sexuality.
Another spin of the conspiracy is taking shots at the perpetrator, David DePape, with pictures being passed around online that purportedly show his house in San Francisco and many claiming that because he supposedly has things like a Pride flag outside a residence they claim he lives in, he couldn't possibly have attacked Pelosi for political reasons.

This also created a trend in which people began to post about the dangers of the hammers themselves, with a Ted Cruz image being used to try and ban "assault hammers" from being licensed.
It's time to BAN all semi-automatic assault hammers… Do it for #Pelosigaylover. pic.twitter.com/DHsFhpvPu0

While these theories are completely unfounded, it hasn't stopped them from being spread (and memed) all around the web.

At least it's a funny schizo conspiracy and not just mind numbingly dumb.

It's just as improbable as the idea that this hippy nudist who believed in wild conspiracy theories, who was referred to by name and as a friend on the police call, is actually a political assassin.

Source? The police report says Pelosi claimed he had never seen the guy before.

Sounds to me you are the one drinking the Kool Aid here.
Because none of that happened. He invaded the home using a hammer and tried to keep him hostage. He demanded to see Nancy and tried to keep him hostage "until she comes baack home" (who was all the way over in DC).

it's from the dispatch call to the police https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SexFaoFPa0
He states he doesnt know him, but then knows that hes named David and calls him a friend which yeah, is strange at face value. There is a lot that is odd about this event. Lack of security, refusal from police to post body cam footage, no security footage of the intrusion nor alarm being set off by a hammer smashing a window, etc. Plus the fact that it was someone whos high profile tend to have people speculating more as there is far more possibilties regarding motives, it also brings more attention than just an average person in the crowd getting attacked and so there is more to gain if there is foul play at hand (Jussie Smollet being an exemple).
