David DePape is a far-right U.S. citizen who attempted to murder Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
DePape, a far-right extremist, had an unhealthy hobby of believing in conspiracy theories. While friends, colleagues and family saw him as a benign man, deep down DePape had an unhealthy obsession with far-right politics. He posted on Facebook commonly, posting content such as a theory stating that Derek Chauvin's trial was a modern-day lynching and that George Floyd deserved to die. His Facebook page also contained claims that COVID-19 vaccines are a deadly murder scheme by Democratic officials, denialism that the September 11 attacks was an "inside job", claims supporting the Pizzagate conspiracy theory, and several other posts bullying transgender people.
DePape broke into Nancy Pelosi's house, assaulting her husband, Paul Pelosi, with a hammer. He went for Pelosi, but fortunately did not succeed in murdering her. He was eventually arrested and booked on numerous charges.
Relatives of his expressed shock about DePape's crimes, stating that they were never aware of DePape being a hostile assaulter. However, they mentioned that they knew DePape was a passionate and violent speaker.
