House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul experienced many severe injuries after being attacked during a home robbery at their San Francisco home.
Paul Pelosi, 82, is expected to make a full recovery despite sustaining multiple serious injuries and undergoing brain surgery following the attack in the early hours of Friday morning.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s spokesperson Drew Hammill announced Friday afternoon, “Mr. Pelosi had a successful surgery to repair a fractured skull after he was violently assaulted with a hammer in their San Francisco home.”
“Mr. Pelosi was admitted to Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital where he underwent successful surgery to repair a skull fracture and serious injuries to his right arm and hands,” Hammill said in a statement. “His doctors expect a full recovery.”
Paul was transported to Zuckerberg in stable condition earlier Friday when he was treated for facial injuries before undergoing brain surgery. Secret Service agents were stationed at the hospital.
The attacker was identified as David Depape, 42, and he was apparently searching for Nancy Pelosi when he broke into the home.
Armed with a hammer, Depape attacked Nancy’s husband when he couldn’t find her, as she was in Washington DC at the time with her protective detail.
Once Depape broke into the home and confronted Paul, he yelled, “Where is Nancy, where is Nancy?”
He then tried to tie up Paul until Nancy returned home and they were still waiting for Nancy when police arrived shortly before 2:30 a.m.
San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott said, “Officers arrived at the Pelosis’ San Francisco home shortly before 2:30 a.m. local time to conduct a wellness check. Inside the house, they encountered Paul and the suspect both holding onto a hammer. The suspect pulled the hammer away from Mr. Pelosi and violently assaulted him with it.”
“Our officers immediately tackled the suspect, disarmed him, took him into custody, requested emergency backup and rendered medical aid,” Scott said.
Depape is in custody as investigators work to find a motive. U.S. Capitol Police are working with the FBI and San Francisco Police to investigate.
The only thing police do know about Depape, is that he is a nudist activist in San Francisco’s Castro district. DePape is also known around Berkeley as a pro-nudity activist. He has picketed naked at protests against laws requiring people to be clothed in public.
President Joe Biden has since phoned Nancy to offer his support.
“The President is praying for Paul Pelosi and for Speaker Pelosi’s whole family,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement Friday morning.
After Friday’s violent attack, Nancy’s spokesperson said, “The Speaker and her family are grateful to the first responders and medical professionals involved, and request privacy at this time.”
“Depape will be booked on charges of attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, burglary, and several additional felonies,” said San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott.
It was a lovers argument as more facts come out. Apparently Paul is gay.
Disgusting…you must be a Republican
You must be a Democrat, Brenda. 😆
Brenda. The guy was a democrat supporter and a Canadian. Did you grow up in stupidville and go to stupidville high school. How many times did your doctor drop you when you were. born. Vote democrat and stay poor. Trump 2024
Wait….so the hammer attack happened after the police arrived? Who owned the hammer? Who called 911 and opened the door if Paul was ziptied? Where were the security alarms or security detail? Why was the intruder reported as a “friend” on the 911 call? Why is he charged with burglary if he didn’t steal anything? Why did he believe Nancy was on her way if she was out of town? Was Nancy called before 911? We need real facts, not speculation and withheld info.
AND how did he get past security?? This is the home of the speaker of the house third in line to the president of USA. The whole storyline stinks to high heaven
Brain surgery???
Yeah, I need proof he was beaten. And, if it was a gay lover’s quarrel it’ll all come out. Nancy so old she can’t keep her teeth in her mouth.
Such offensive people! What the hell is wrong with you MAGA freaks?!!! Can’t even be decent to people n the middle of a tragedy especially when it was caused by YOUR people!!
Biden doesn’t have a brain, he was gay and that was his lover..
This isn’t politics this is horrific behavior from many horrible people spreading lies and hate! So despicable
Question: How did this guy evade the security that should have been operating?
who was the third person in the home?
Who said that the intruder asked” Where is Nancy ?”? Musta been a witness. Front glass that was knocked out appears to have been busted out from the inside of the house. Glass all over the outside steps. We aint getting the whole truth!
I guess the Europeans have always been correct, Americans are stupid. Did you all come here from some other planet. No respect. No consideration. No compassion. No brains. Just hateful BS that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Do any of you have parents or grandparents you love and respect in spite of their age. Your access to other people should be banned. Like my mother always said, “if you don’t have something nice to say, shut up.” To bad your mother was too stupid to teach you the same.
Brenda, why don’t you answer some of these questions these people are asking Instead of attacking their comments? We are not getting the full story because the media is always covering for the Democrats.
Sherie, go fuck yourself, you fucking whore, I hope someone gets you with a hammer.
