The US President accused political opponents of popularizing ideas that negatively affect mentally unbalanced people. At the same time, Joe Biden equated the attack on the husband of the speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi to the storming of the Capitol. The head of the state mentioned yesterday’s emergency during a speech to fellow members of the Democratic Party before the midterm congressional elections.
However, the US president made a reservation that he knows about what happened exclusively from the TV news, and cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information. “This guy used the same chants… which were in use on January 6 during the attack on the Capitol. I’m not making this up, it was in the news… He was shouting, “Where’s Nancy?” – Biden said.
Some supporters of ex-President Donald Trump during the storming of the Capitol were really looking for Nancy Pelosi to prevent the approval of Trump’s candidacy in parliament. According to CNN, Pelosi wanted to see and attacked her husband.
The detained 42-year-old Canadian-born David DePape was extremely active in social networks, regularly posting posts concerning various conspiracy theories, including those related to the US presidential election, the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the conflict in Ukraine.
In particular, he accused the US Democratic Party of rigging the 2020 elections, the “global elites” of trying to “reset the world order,” and doctors of harming the coronavirus vaccine. DePape saw anti-Semitic overtones in the conflict in Ukraine.
