Marjorie Taylor Greene rages at media for not buying the bizarre “Pelosi gay lover” story
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is outraged that anyone would even question the latest rightwing conspiracy theory about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) husband having a secret gay lover who tried to kill him.
On Friday, a man broke into the Pelosis’ home and asked, “Where’s Nancy?” She wasn’t there, but her husband Paul Pelosi was. The man hit Paul with a hammer and he has been hospitalized.
So every conservative with a gun next to their bed waiting to use it on a burgler is actually afraid their gay lover is going to burst in? Scandalous.
Greene has a history of gullibility when it comes to far-right conspiracy theories. She famously said on Facebook in 2018 that prominent Jewish people had caused wildfires in California with laser beams sent from space.
“they are beaming the suns energy back to Earth, I’m sure they wouldn’t ever miss a transmitter receiving station right??!!” she wrote.
“What would that look like anyway?” she continued. “A laser beam or a light beam coming down to Earth I guess. Could that cause a fire? Hmmm, I don’t know. I hope not! That wouldn’t look good for [Pacific Gas & Electric], Rothschild Inc, Solaren or Jerry Brown who sure does seem fond of PG&E.”
GOP's current main strategy relies on the firehose of falsehood. If the opposition just starts ignoring all the nonsense their strategy falls apart, so it's vital for them to insist that everything must be investigated and taken seriously.
MTG is mad because she thinks she's being clever, and people who think they're being clever tend to throw a hissy fit when they have the rug pulled out from under them.
Paul Pelosi Conspiracy Theory Trends on Twitter After Elon Musk Pushes It
A baseless conspiracy theory about the assault of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul Pelosi trended on Twitter Monday morning after being boosted all weekend by prominent conservatives and even new Twitter owner Elon Musk.
Hashtags including “PelosiGayLover,” “PelosiSmollett,” “PelosiGate,” and “Listen to the 911” appeared in the trending bar amid the proliferation of false claims about the attack and mockery of Pelosi. Several prominent right-wing figures pushed the false idea that both the attacker and Pelosi were in their underwear at the time of the assault, and that Pelosi knew his attacker and that they were actually lovers because Pelosi had referred to him as a “friend” while attempting to tip off 911 dispatchers as to his situation.
When Scalise was attacked, here is what Nancy Pelosi released:
“We are profoundly grateful for the heroism of the Capitol Police, whose bravery under fire undoubtedly saved countless lives. On days like today, there are no Democrats or Republicans, only Americans united in our hopes and prayers for the wounded.”

Now that Nancy Pelosi's husband was attacked, republicans create homophobic conspiracy theories and memes. Disgusting.
Hope this pushes more people to delete their Twitter accounts.
I've deleted my Twitter account over 2 years ago.
