SACRAMENTO BEE: "Conspiracy Theories, Racist Posts: What We Know About the Nancy Pelosi Home Invasion Suspect"

From Maggie Angst's 10-28-22 SACRAMENTO BEE article entitled "Conspiracy Theories, Racist Posts: What We Know About the Nancy Pelosi Home Invasion Suspect":

Authorities on Friday identified the suspect who invaded the San Francisco home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and attacked her husband Paul with a hammer as 42-year-old David DePape.

DePape was booked into San Francisco County Jail Friday afternoon on more than a half-dozen charges, including attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, elderly abuse, burglary and threatening the family member of a public official [...].

CNN reported that DePape’s Facebook account, which has been taken down by the social media company, contained memes and conspiracy theories about COVID-19 vaccines, the 2020 election and the Jan. 6 attack.

A blog written under the name of DePape — with the domain ‘godisloving.wordpress.com’ and banner that reads “Welcome to Big Brothers Censorship Hell” — includes articles titled ‘pedophile normalization,’ ‘facts are racist,’ and ‘Hitler did nothing wrong.’

His posts contain right-wing conspiracy theories, QAnon beliefs and racists messages. He repeatedly railed against government officials, the media and tech companies for alleged censorship. The blog, created in 2007, was largely inactive until this summer, when he made dozens of posts in the span of just four days in August.

Another website with entries also written by a person who identifies as David DePape similarly contains antisemitic and bigoted blog posts, including denial of the Holocaust.
