5:50Now PlayingAll of the conservative conspiracies surrounding the attack on Paul Pelosi have been debunked by the attacker himself, and Marjorie Taylor Greene is furious about this. She is now lashing out at the MEDIA and blaming them as the source of misinformation. She needs to take a good look in the mirror, because the real misinformation is coming from her side of the political aisle, as Farron Cousins explains.

So at this point, all of the conspiracy theories being pushed by Republicans about the man who attacked Paul Pelosi last week have been debunked. They had pretty much been debunked before they even started based on this individual's own social media posts. But that apparently wasn't good enough for Republicans. In fact, even the further debunking with his own words in his statement to the police, that's not good enough either. They still wanna believe that this individual who attacked Paul Pelosi was somehow a gay male prostitute that Paul was involved with. And it was a lover's quarrel that went south because the two of them were intoxicated. That resulted in Paul Pelosi getting attacked with a hammer.
And of course, that is the conspiracy theory that Elon Musk helped push on Twitter, of course, before he deleted it, right? Oh, no, no, no. I'd take it back. But the damage had been done. But now that it has all been thoroughly debunked, Marjorie Taylor Green is. She's that the media is out there trashing this narrative, and of course, attacking Elon Musk for sharing it. So Marjorie Taylor Green gets on Elon Musk's Twitter and says this, The same mainstream media Democrat activists that sold conspiracy theories for years about President Trump and Russia are now blaming Elon Musk for internet misinformation about Paul Pelosi's friend attacking him with a hammer. The media is source of misinformation.
I mean, the right wing media is, Yeah, because y'all are the ones pushing this bogus attack. This was not his friend. And as I mentioned, the statement that this man gave to the police has now been released. He said that he was, uh, he said he wanted to hold Nancy Pelosi hostage because he viewed her as the quote leader of the pack of lies told by the Democratic Party, and that he claimed that he was, quote, fighting against tyranny without the option of surrender. Those are his words. He also shared right wing media posts from Mike Linde, spread q conspiracy theories spread, all kinds of crazy right wing crap. This was a mag freak that did this. And Marjorie Taylor Green is now attacking the media for pointing this stuff out. Like she's mad at them. She's mad that Elon Musk had to delete a tweet that was complete fabrication because he is an idiot. This is what, this is where we're at. This is where we're at as a country, folks, If you spread the truth, the Republicans want to come after you. They want to attack you. They view the truth as misinformation. That's what Marjorie Taylor Green just told us in that tweet.
Again, we're in topsy turvy land where truth is false and fake is real, and up is down and left is right, and nothing matters anymore. That's the world that conservatives are trying to drag the rest of us into, and it's terrifying. But there's also a reason why Marjorie Taylor Green, of course, would be interested in spreading cons, uh, conspiracy theories about this attacker. And that is probably because at one point back in 2020, Marjorie Taylor Green did call for Nancy Pelosi to be killed. Here's what she said at the time, Pelosi's a trader to our country. She's guilty of treason. She took an oath to protect American citizens and uphold our laws. And she gives aid and comfort to our enemies who illegally invade our land. That's what treason is. And by our law representatives and senators can be kicked out and no longer serve in our government.
And it's a crime punishable by death is what treason is. Nancy, Nancy Pelosi is guilty of treason, and we want her out of our government. So she says, If you're guilty of treason, we get to kill you. And Nancy Pelosi is of course, guilty of treason. So really not that big of a leap to really read between the lines there. Is it? So it's statements like that. By the way, then inspire these attacks. It's not just Marjorie Taylor Green either. We know that a lot of these Republicans, especially in conservative media, are doing the same thing. This is what they do, and now they're trying to downplay it. Now that one of their idiot followers decided to take action.
