DePape Indictment Debunks Anti-Gay Lie By D’Souza

The Daily Beast reports:

Many, including right-wing filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza, used a recording of a dispatcher saying that Paul Pelosi referred to DePape as “a friend” to back allegations that the pair were in fact gay lovers — a claim that was also debunked by authorities and officials.

However, in the latest batch of court documents, the Justice Department wrote: “Mr. Pelosi made clear in the 9-1-1 call that he did not know who the man was.

On the call and from the background, DEPAPE can be heard giving his name as ‘David’ and declaring himself a ‘friend.’ Mr. Pelosi confirmed to the dispatcher that he did not know the man.”

It was *DePape* not Pelosi who identified himself as a “friend.” 9-1-1 dispatcher reported it as Pelosi saying it. https://t.co/HdA9bX1uvX pic.twitter.com/2nrbAeqBl6
