A racist and frequently rambling online poster who is accused of breaking into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s California home and brutally beating her husband with a hammer also appears to have questioned the outcome of the 2020 election, defended the late President Donald Trump, and echoed QAnon conspiracy theories.
David DePape, 42, was born and raised in Powell River, British Columbia, but left around 20 years ago to move to San Francisco with an older partner. Berkeley, a college town in the Bay Area, had a street address for DePape that directed to a post office box at a UPS Store.
Early on Friday, DePape was detained at the Pelosi residence. Brooke Jenkins, the district attorney for San Francisco, stated that she planned to bring many felony charges, including ones for burglary, elder abuse, attempted murder, and assault with a dangerous weapon.
The suspect, according to stepfather Gene DePape, was a peaceful youngster who lived with him in Canada until he was 14 years old.
Despite his extreme seclusion and excessive video game playing, Gene DePape claimed that David was never aggressive and was never in trouble.
He claimed he hasn’t seen his stepson since 2003 and has made several unsuccessful attempts to get in touch with him over the years.
When I called to speak to him in 2007, his fiancée hung up on me, according to Gene DePape.
In Berkeley, David DePape was well-known as a pro-nudity activist who picketed bare during demonstrations against municipal laws forcing individuals to wear clothing in public.
According to Gene DePape, his son’s girlfriend who he accompanied to California was named Gypsy, and the two of them were parents to two kids. According to his stepfather, DePape also has a child from a previous relationship.
At the 2013 wedding of pro-nudity campaigner Gypsy Taub, who was marrying another guy, DePape was seen frolicking naked outside city hall with scores of other guests, according to photos released by The San Francisco Chronicle on Friday. Calls and emails to Taub on Friday went unanswered.
According to a 2013 article in The Chronicle, David DePape was a “hemp jewelry maker” who shared a Victorian apartment in Berkeley with Taub. Taub was the host of the talk show “Uncensored 9/11” on local public access TV, where she appeared naked and promoted theories that the 9/11 terrorist attacks were “an inside job.”

Under the moniker David DePape, two web blogs that were published recently on the internet had rants about technology, aliens, communists, religious minorities, and global elites.
A post titled “Q” from August 24 featured a scatological collection of memes, pictures of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and references to QAnon, a pro-Trump conspiracy theory that claims the government is controlled by a cabal of baby-eating cannibals, satanic pedophiles, and child sex traffickers.
A comment that seemed to combine allusions to QAnon and George Orwell’s dystopian classic “1984” stated that “Big Brother has classed doing your own investigation as a thought crime.”
You no longer have rights, the poster stated in an entry headed “Gun Rights” from August 25. Your fundamental human rights make it more difficult for Big Brother to completely enslave and dominate you.
hosting for websites Due to a violation of its terms of service, WordPress deactivated one of the websites on Friday afternoon.
A user posting under DePape’s identity on another website reiterated untrue statements about the COVID vaccination and wearing masks, cast doubt on the reality of climate change, and showed an image of a zombie Hillary Clinton gorging on human flesh.
There didn’t seem to be any messages specifically regarding Pelosi, but there were comments supporting Ye, the musician formerly known as Kayne West, and former president Donald Trump, who recently made antisemitic remarks.
The author has claimed in past writings that Jews supported Hitler’s rise to power in Germany and that Russia’s current invasion of Ukraine was the result of an antisemitic scheme.
The author said in a post on September 27 that any reporters who refuted Trump’s bogus assertions of rampant voter fraud in the 2020 election “should be hauled straight out into the street and shot.”
