What, exactly, are the kinds of conspiracy theories about the Pelosi attack?

I don't want to promote right wing talking points. I just want to know how anyone could possibly twist this story. I commend the MSM for making it difficult for me to find out this level of detail. But I am curious.

2. I think the initial conspiracy theories have been largely abandoned

Now it's just 'a Berkeley-dwelling, former hemp-jewelry-making, nudism-advocating crazy person' attacked Mr. Pelosi.

No need for conspiracy theories when a simple framing will convince the Cult45 knuckle-draggers that this whole thing is 'left-on-left'.

Even though it really was not, as this dickhead was an election and vaccine denier, and believed in all kinds of RWNJ/Q conspiracies. Basically didn't meet one he didn't love.

But don't expect those latter facts to ever register in their stick-boy fantasy world

claimed today the window was broken from the inside. Then there is always the old faulse flag thing and the gay
thing. I am sure there are several more. Oh there was a called ranting about the attacker being an illeagal alien
from Canada I guess.

This guy thought he would be seen as a hero by the Qanon freaks, yet he’s now being accused by them of being Pelosi’s gay lover.

I imagine them staying awake all night before they commit some heinous crime, so excited thinking tfg will bring them on stage at one of his Nazi rallies and give them a dollar store medal for 'bravery'. A lot of them don't even learn after sitting in jail for months wondering why the guy they worship won't come bail them out.

5. Anti gay tropes about SF, closted married men & bad BDSM

(BDSM=bondage discipline sadomasochism.)
the implication was that the Speakers husband had a failed sexual event with a sex worker, and was assaulted during rough sex.

I first heard about this on the Curtis Sliwa talk show on WABC the night before. This story is being spread far and wide. Dinesh D'Souza is trying to keep it alive.

10. The site Musk pushed out is not remotely credible, but it reaches a conclusion that is extremely convenient for the right, and that's good enough.

By asking what the lies are, you are asking that some be written here in a public forum. And why would you want to pollute your mind with RW MAGA filth? Surely you are better than that.
