[SFGate] Shortly after Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was assaulted by a man who broke into his San Francisco home early Friday morning, a number of conspiracy theories began circulating online.
The official story, according to police, is that David DePape, 42, broke into the Pelosis' home on Broadway near Divisadero through a rear glass door with the intention of taking Nancy Pelosi hostage. Instead, he found Paul Pelosi home alone and allegedly struck the 82-year-old in the head with a hammer he had brought as the two men struggled for control of the weapon. Authorities say DePape and Pelosi had never met each other prior to the break-in.
But if you were paying attention to online discourse about the attack over the weekend, you probably read a very different account of events. |
