Hillary Clinton blames Republicans for attack on Paul Pelosi, Elon Musk steps in and questions the narrative: 'Might be more to this story than meets the eye'

Following the alleged hammer attack on Paul Pelosi, several Democrats accused Republicans of inciting political violence. Some Democrats made the damning accusations despite the investigation in its infancy and there not being concrete proof that the suspect – David DePape – was motivated by politics to attack the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

On Saturday, Hillary Clinton blamed Republicans for political violence.

"The Republican Party and its mouthpieces now regularly spread hate and deranged conspiracy theories," Clinton wrote on Twitter. "It is shocking, but not surprising, that violence is the result. As citizens, we must hold them accountable for their words and the actions that follow."

Clinton's tweet linked to a Los Angeles Times article with the headline: "Accused Pelosi attacker David DePape spread QAnon, other far-right, bigoted conspiracies."
