A report by NBC News correspondent Miguel Almaguer about the Paul Pelosi attack has been retracted.
Almaguer's report was quickly seized upon by conservative commentators who saw the report as proof the unfounded theories were true.
"Paul Pelosi opened the door for police, didn't run outside or flee then, instead he walked back to the hippie nudist and was attacked with a hammer then?
Fox News personality Tucker Carlson reported on the NBC segment after it was retracted, calling the now-retracted details "explosive."
Pelosi was released from the hospital on Thursday after he was admitted with a skull fracture following the attack.
