There is a new sheriff in town on Twitter and things are very different than they used to be for Democrats already.
Twitter’s new CEO, Elon Musk, called out Hillary Clinton for sharing an LA Times story that intended to paint Paul Pelosi’s alleged attacker, David DePape, as a far-right conspiracy theorist.
Hillary captioned her tweet with: “The Republican Party and its mouthpieces now regularly spread hate and deranged conspiracy theories. It is shocking, but not surprising, that violence is the result. As citizens, we must hold them accountable for their words and the actions that follow”
Musk responded to Hillary by tweeting, “There is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story than meets the eye” and included a link to an article titled The Awful Truth: Paul Pelosi Was Drunk Again, And In a Dispute With a Male Prostitute Early Friday Morning.
The original link to the article was scrubbed from Google but there’s an archived version of the article. Below is an excerpt from the article:
As SF’s gay bars closed at 2 am, two gay men met in a bar and went home together. Happens every night in the City by the Bay. Except one of these two men, was married to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
It’s been a rumor for years in SF that Paul Pelosi is gay. David Depape is said to be a Castro Nudist. “The lunatic who allegedly assaulted Paul Pelosi is a Berkeley resident and a ‘Former Castro Nudist Protester’.
The information Hillary Clinton shared in an effort to smear Republicans is questionable as the websites that started these rumors were created after the attack on Friday and taken down on Saturday.
Although there is no evidence that the theory in the article Elon shared is true, as more details emerge, it is more credible than the ridiculous story the mainstream media and the San Francisco police are pushing.
Elon wasn’t the only one to call Hillary out:
“You and your husband created this environment by relentlessly attacking your political opponents. You’re still doing it for God sakes. The Republican Party had nothing to do with this and you know it.”
“1. Assailant in his underpants 2. Paul Pelosi knows his name and tells police he’s a “friend.” 3. Assailant asks “where’s Nancy?” to make sure she’s not home. 4. Pelosi takes bathroom break from spat and makes 911 call Conclusion: This guy was a sex partner or male prostitute!”
Leftists were furious with Musk.
“it has been interesting, over the years, to watch you blossom from the electric car guy into a fully-formed piece of shit,” Jimmy Kimmel said.
“Elon Musk is already spreading dangerous lies on the platform he owns,” Kyle Griffin said.
“This exchange between @HillaryClinton and @elonmusk should kill any remaining confidence advertisers had in the platform,” Molly Jong-Fast said.
