MADRID, 2 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Donald Trump has joined the conspiratorial voices that question the official version that the assault on Paul Pelosi, husband of Nancy Pelosi, president of the United States House of Representatives, was part of a raid on his residence last weekend .
“There’s been some weird stuff going on in that household in the last couple of weeks. You know, it’s probably best that you and I don’t talk about it,” he said Tuesday during an interview with conservative radio host Chris Stigall.
Trump has repeated one of the theories that some conservative media and commentators have been spreading that the window “broke from the inside out,” so it would not have been a robbery, but “a leak.”
“All this is crazy (…), but the window was broken and it was strange that the police were there practically from the moment everything happened,” Trump continued, not without first acknowledging that while “he is not a fan of Nancy Pelosi,” acknowledges that what happened is “very sad.”
Since it became known last Friday that the Pelosi residence was raided and that the House Speaker’s husband was beaten, the right-wing media has questioned the Police version and has launched its own conjectures, such as that Paul Pelosi and the intruder were lovers who had fallen out.
“There is absolutely no evidence that Mr. Pelosi knew this man. In fact, the evidence indicates the exact opposite,” San Francisco Police Chief William Scott said in an interview with CNN.
The former president of the United States is not the only one who has taken the assault as a joke, the eldest of his offspring, Donald Trump Jr, shared on his Twitter profile an image of underpants and a hammer with the title ‘I have ready for Halloween my Paul Pelosi costume.
It is not the first time that Trump has listened to this type of conspiracy theory when he is not the one who spreads it, such as the one that the 2020 presidential elections were stolen from him, an argument that served to make thousands of his followers went to the Capitol in Washington to prevent the transfer of power to the president, Joe Biden.
Others to which he has given fuel sound implausible, such as that of QAnon that places him as a kind of crusader against a pedophile network led by Hillary Clinton and other Democrats, or that the father of Republican Senator Ted Cruz could have been involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
