This is the TRASH being allowed to enter OUR country.
David DePape, the 42-year-old illegal immigrant from Canada accused of breaking into the home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last week
and attacking her husband with a hammer, allegedly wanted to hold the
congresswoman hostage and threatened to break "her kneecaps" if he
caught her lying, according to court documents.

Pelosi Attacker Was Progressive and Mentally Ill, Says Ex-Girlfriend
(Newsmax/"Rob Schmitt Tonight")

He was not a MAGA member; he did not support the "insurrection" of Jan. 6; and he was never even a Republican.
But David DePape was a known nudist activist who his ex-girlfriend says was also a progressive and mentally ill.
DePape, 42, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, elder
abuse and burglary for having bludgeoned Paul Pelosi, 82, with a hammer,
fracturing his skull.
DePape has been residing in a decrepit school bus that sits outside
the Berkeley home of his ex-girlfriend, Oxane "Gypsy" Taub, also a
pro-nudist activist
A two-decade resident of the San Francisco Bay Area, DePape was also
known for his pro-nudity activism. He had picketed naked at protests
against laws requiring people to be clothed in public.
Protesting such a reasonable law is not usually an activity of a Trump supporter.
Taub, the mother of DePape's three children, told the New York Post he has been suffering from mental illness.
"He is mentally ill. He has been mentally ill for a long time," she told ABC 7.
Taub, who currently is serving time in a California prison for
abducting a teenage boy, said DePape had disappeared for over a year and
then resurfaced recently.
"He thought he was Jesus," she told ABC 7.
"He was constantly paranoid, thinking people were after him. And it
took a good year or two to get back to, you know, being halfway normal."
She also noted DePape's politics were not right-wing.
"Well, when I met him, he was only 20 years old, and he didn't have
any experience in politics. And he was very much in alignment with my
views, and I've always been very progressive," she said.
"This was not a random act," San Francisco Police Chief William Scott said. "This was intentional. And it's wrong."
But no definitive motive has been reported for this "intentional" crime, just a week from an earth-shaking midterm election.
"I wasn't surprised because another crazy story is coming from
someone in that house," DePape's Berkeley neighbor Ryan La Coste told
the N.Y. Post.
"They are always toxic and always up to something. They are always on
the news and trying to be 'activists.' They always want to be in the
spotlight."
Reporters on social media noted some shaky details in mainstream
media's initial portrayal of Pelosi's attacker as a right-wing activist.
"Why did Paul Pelosi's alleged attacker, a nudist Green Party
activist, go off the grid for years and then start posting Q rants just a
few weeks ago?" Charlie Kirk tweeted Saturday.
Formal charges against DePape will be filed Monday, and his
arraignment is expected Tuesday, according to the San Francisco district
attorney's office.
SFPD Chief Scott told a Friday night news briefing that police
detectives, assisted by FBI agents, had yet to determine what
precipitated the home invasion.
The media and Speaker Pelosi were also quick to note DePape was
shouting "Where is Nancy?" during the attack on her husband at their San
Francisco home. Nancy Pelosi was in Washington, D.C.
In the search for a motive, attention turned to the suspect's alleged internet profile.
In recent posts on several websites, an internet user named
"daviddepape" expressed support for former President Donald Trump and
embraced the cult-like conspiracy theory QAnon.
The posts included references to "satanic pedophilia," antisemitic
tropes and criticism of women, transgender people and censorship by tech
companies.
Older messages promoted quartz crystals and hemp bracelets. Reuters
could not confirm that the posts were created by the man arrested
Friday.
Experts on extremism said the man who attacked Pelosi's husband could
be an example of a growing trend they call "stochastic terrorism," in
which sometimes-unstable individuals are inspired to violence by hate
speech and scenarios they see online and hear echoed by public figures.
"This was clearly a targeted attack. The purpose was to locate and
potentially harm the speaker of the House," said John Cohen, a former
counterterrorism coordinator and head of intelligence at the Department
of Homeland Security who is working with U.S. law enforcement agencies
on the issue.
The San Francisco Chronicle posted a photo of a man it identified as
DePape dancing at the 2013 wedding of two nudist activists in San
Francisco, though he was clothed.
DePape, then a hemp jewelry maker who lived with the couple in Berkeley, was the best man, the newspaper reported.
The incident came a day after New York City police warned extremists
could target politicians, political events and polling sites ahead of
the midterm elections.

Rob Schmitt noted there are hints of midterm narrative deflection on
the issue of crime and some hypocrisy in the fact Pelosi's daughter once
suggested Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., deserved to be attacked by his
neighbor.
That fact had resurfaced earlier this week — days before DePape's
alleged attack — in the Democrats' attempt to flip the Senate seat of
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.
"The daughter of Nancy Pelosi celebrated that 2017 attack on Rand
Paul, saying, 'Rand Paul's neighbor was right,'" Schmitt noted on
Friday's "Rob Schmitt Tonight."
"Christine Pelosi apparently loves political violence. I wonder what she thinks of it being directed at her own family, though?"
Paul himself gave his condolences to Paul Pelosi, noting their family did not afford him the same respect.
"No one deserves to be assaulted," Paul tweeted Friday. "Unlike Nancy
Pelosi's daughter who celebrated my assault, I condemn this attack and
wish Mr. Pelosi a speedy recovery."
Earlier in the week, comments surfaced from Adm. Mike Franken, a
Democrat opposing Iowa's Chuck Grassley as the Senate majority weighs in
the balance next month.
"Wasn't Rand's neighbor more than a little in the right?" Franken
tweeted Jan. 21, 2021, on Twitter, years after the attack on Paul.
Paul was the one who resurfaced those Franken remarks this week.
"Disgusting that Mike Franken would celebrate an assault (from
behind) that resulted in 6 broken ribs, a damaged lung that had to be
removed, and chronic pain," Paul tweeted Tuesday. "Advocacy for violence
should disqualify Franken from holding any office."
But Franken did not back down, upping the ante on political division
and violence, while spinning the Democrat narrative of the false claim
Paul, a sitting U.S. senator, had sought to insurrect the government.
"I'm not going to be lectured to by an insurrectionist," Franken tweeted in response Wednesday to Paul.
Less than 48 hours later, DePape would allegedly bludgeoned the speaker's husband within inches of his life.
Information from Reuters and The Associated Press was used in this report.
