“Disgusting” Theory About Paul Pelosi. Interesting word.
“The latest conspiracy theory about Paul Pelosi’s attack is frankly too disgusting to print.”
Ben Collins, Reporter, NBC, responding to Elon Musk posting the dominant theory of what happened to Paul Pelosi
“Disgusting” was what they used to call us for demanding justice for victims of child crimes by “rabbis.” Until they couldn’t deny it anymore.
See Sharon Otterman, “Abuse Verdict Topples a Hasidic Wall of Secrecy,” The New York Times, Dec. 10, 2012
Now they say it is “disgusting” to imagine that Paul Pelosi is not exactly a saint. And try to pin it on Trump supporters!
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.https://t.co/MQor4NDFeE
“It’s very possible that the instantly formed media narrative — Paul Pelosi’s attacker was a MAGA fanatic who broke in to murder Nancy — will be proven true. But right now there are so many glaring doubts and holes in that story that it just takes common sense to question this….’If you don’t instantly accept what Wolf Blitzer and Andrea Mitchell claim, then you’re a crazy conspiracy theorist.’”

It's very possible that the instantly formed media narrative — Paul Pelosi's attacker was a MAGA fanatic who broke in to murder Nancy — will be proven true.
But right now there are so many glaring doubts and holes in that story that it just takes common sense to question this.
It's genuinely alarming how conditioned so much of the US population is to equate skepticism toward the pronouncements of media corporations with mental illness:
"If you don't instantly accept what Wolf Blitzer and Andrea Mitchell claim, then you're a crazy conspiracy theorist."
