Finally, police say on record Paul Pelosi and his attacker did not know each other prior to break-in

Ben Collins @oneunderscore__ 8m
According to @NBCNews’ @anblanx: Police say on the record that Paul Pelosi and his suspected attacker did not know each other prior to the attack. It was a break-in.

This directly contradicts conspiracy theories pushed by (and since deleted by) Twitter owner Elon Musk.

It won't be long until it's a complete swamp of toxic right-wing sewage. When Trump is allowed to participate on Twitmusk once again the rest of the Qanon lunatics will follow from Trump's failing "Truth" Central, and that will be the end of Twitmusk (and "Truth" Central). Everything Donald Trump touches dies or is imprisoned.

I suggest all you Tweeters out there find a different platform for whatever it is Tweeters do. You won't want your names associated with that poisoned pigpen much longer.

Not that the conspiracy theorists would believe it. They would say that the tape is doctored. They will say literally anything to distort the narrative to their advantage.

…which is significant, because I awoke this morning to a featured Apple News item on my iPhone, reporting that authorities had revealed that there was a third person in the house at the time of the attack. From which shoddy right-wing source did this story come? Uh…NBC News.



Of course, now they’re saying otherwise, but they never officially retracted their story, either.

of why law enforcement should be careful to make sure the information they release is as accurate as possible.

Despite the need of some on the internet for "immediate gratification."

Better to get it right.

It also helps provide info to stem rumors.

But, whatever. Who knows who you're talking to?
