Rob Reiner Claims Trump ‘Directly’ Responsible for Attack on Paul Pelosi, Calls for Indictment

Director, actor, and longtime Democrat activist Rob Reiner blamed former President Donald Trump for the recent attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) husband, Paul Pelosi, claiming it was “directly” tied to Trump challenging the legitimacy of the 2020 election.

 

In a tweet from Friday, Reiner accused the former president of “spreading The Big Lie for 2 years.”

 

Trump’s questioning of the election results, Reiner argued, “directly” inspired the recent attack on the Pelosi home. 

 

“The violent assault on Paul Pelosi and the attempt to murder Speaker Pelosi is directly related to that Lie,” the Oscar-nominated director and actor wrote.

 

As a result, Reiner claimed, “Donald Trump is 100% responsible for this and Jan.6” and “must be indicted and never be allowed to hold office.”

 

 

In response, many ridiculed the left-wing filmmaker over his comments.

 

“It is impossible to imagine someone this dim-witted. You are truly bewildering with all due respect of course,” wrote professor Gad Saad.

 

 

“The only lie I’ve seen is Russian collusion, that you’ve been spreading for 6 years now,” wrote conservative commentator Tim Young.

 

“Because everyone knows San Francisco is MAGA country,” mocked author Larry Alex Taunton.

 

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul Pelosi was hospitalized Friday after an assailant broke into their San Francisco home in the early morning and attacked him, according to a statement from the speaker’s office.

 

The San Francisco Police Department identified the alleged attacker as 42-year-old David DePape, who remains in police custody, and stated the motive of his attack was still unknown.

 

The Speaker was not home at the time.

  

 

The incident has drawn attention to the issue of soaring crime nationwide under Democrat rule as well as soft-on-crime Democrat candidates, with crime being the second most concerning issue in the country, as the midterm elections come to a head on November 8.

 

Attempts to tie the attack to the right come as voters prepare to head to the polls for the midterm elections.

 

Networks CNN and MSNBC recently attempted to connect the attack to the January 6 riot, while Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) blamed it on “MAGA Extremists.”

 

Speaking Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Klobuchar called it a “vicious attack in which [the Speaker] has been villainized for years, and big surprise, it’s gone viral, and it went violent.” 

 

“And I think it’s very important to note, as you mentioned, that Homeland Security warning that this has been going on for years,” she added. “The attacks on her and this group of MAGA extremists who, by the way, are putting up candidates on the ballot that Donald Trump supports, have been not ending when Donald Trump left office. They have been expanding into our politics.”

 

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden placed blame on Republicans for the assault, according to Breitbart News.

 

“It’s reported that the same chant was used by this guy they have in custody that was used on January 6th in the attack on the U.S. Capitol. I’m not making this up,” Biden said.

 

“This is reported. I can’t guarantee it. I can tell you what’s being reported,” he continued, adding, “The chant was ‘Where’s Nancy!? Where’s Nancy!? Where’s Nancy!?’”

 

However, according to a police dispatch call from early that day, Paul Pelosi reportedly told 911 dispatchers that DePape, a hemp jewelry maker known for posting conspiracy theories, “is a friend.” 

 

The attacker is reported to have lived inside a school bus parked outside of his former lover’s home in the weeks leading up to the attack, according to his neighbors.

 

Neighbors said he slept back and forth between a broken-down camper van and a school bus parked outside pro-nudist activist Gypsy Taub’s home in Berkeley. 

 

According to neighbors Margarita and Julio Gonzalez, DePape used to live inside the house with Taub and her family before staying off and on in the buses parked outside.
