A spokesperson for Nancy Pelosi said the alleged assailant is in custody.
The intruder who allegedly assaulted Nancy Pelosi’s husband in the couple’s San Francisco home early Friday morning was searching for the House speaker, according to a source briefed on the attack.
The assailant broke into the Pelosi residence shouting “where is Nancy, where is Nancy?” before violently assaulting Paul Pelosi, according to the source.
……..
San Francisco Police Chief William Scott said at a press conference that police officers were dispatched to the Pelosi residence at about 2:30 a.m. for a priority well-being check, arriving on-scene to find both Paul Pelosi and the suspect holding a hammer.
“The suspect pulled the hammer away from Mr. Pelosi and violently assaulted him with it,” Scott said. “Our officers immediately tackled the suspect, disarmed him, took him into custody, requested emergency backup and rendered medical aid.”
Paul Pelosi was admitted to Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital Friday morning, the hospital confirmed. The suspect, identified as a 42-year-old male, was also transported to a local hospital for treatment, Scott said.
The motive for the attack is still being determined, the chief said, and the suspect will be booked at San Francisco county jail on the charges of attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, burglary and several additional charges.
The U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement Friday that it would assist the FBI and San Francisco police with a joint investigation into the break-in, and confirmed that the speaker was in Washington with her security detail at the time of the attack. Special agents from the Capitol Police department’s California field office “quickly arrived on scene,” and a team from the department’s Threat Assessment Section was dispatched to the West Coast to assist with the joint investigation, USCP said in the statement.

Facebook also shares responsibility for DePape, who ‘posted links…to multiple videos produced by My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell falsely alleging that the 2020 election was stolen. Other posts included transphobic images and linked to websites claiming Covid vaccines were deadly.’

Have any Republicans condemned this attack? I guess not.
