Donald Trump Jr. publishes offensive memes mocking the assault on Paul Pelosi.

The former president's son commented, "OMG," below the image that said, "Got my Paul Pelosi Halloween costume ready."


The criticism on the internet came fast, but Trump Jr., a full-time provocateur and stand-in for his father, doubled down just as fast by tweeting another, obviously homophobic meme that seems to make reference to an unfounded conspiracy theory about the assault.


In San Francisco, Paul Pelosi, 82, was accosted by a man brandishing a hammer who reportedly said, "Where is Nancy?


"I say after entering. Pelosi was seriously injured and hospitalised, but doctors anticipate she will fully recover.


Police identified David DePape, 42, as the suspect. According to news sources, he published crazy, conspiracy-filled essays online before the attack, some of which echoed QAnon and election fraud theories popular in Trumpist circles.


Elon Musk, the owner of Tesla and occasionally the richest man in the world, has taken control of Twitter. Trump Jr., whose Instagram bio contains the phrase "Meme Wars General," has applauded this development.


Musk has declared that he will relax the rules governing what may be posted on Twitter, which barred Donald Trump following the uprising on January 6.

Musk came under criticism on Sunday for also posting a reference to the attack on Paul Pelosi hoax. He erased it hours later without giving any justification.


The Santa Monica Observer, which Mediabiasfactcheck.com describes as "an imposter website that is designed to look like an authentic local news source" but "favours the Republican party," published the article Musk cited.


Other pro-Trump people that posted conspiracies and false information about the Pelosi incident included Roger Stone and Dinesh D'Souza.


The intention was to create "a dystopia wherein lies and physical violence become part of our politics," according to Carl Cameron, a former Fox News contributor, who spoke to the Washington Post.
