42 Year-Old Canadian Man Attacks Nancy Pelosi’s Husband
Paul, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was hit with a hammer early Friday in his San Francisco home by Canadian David DePape, who a law enforcement source told Fox News was shouting, “Where is Nancy?”
San Francisco Police Chief William Scott said DePape, 42, faces attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, burglary, and several other felonies from the event after 2 a.m.
Scott said police spotted DePape and Paul Pelosi, 82, fighting over a hammer during a welfare check. Officers saw DePape “violently assault” Pelosi after he took the hammer.
Officers instantly tackled DePape, disarmed him, and arrested him while calling for backup and providing medical help. Investigating the attack’s motive.
“Early this morning, an intruder stormed into the Pelosi home in San Francisco and violently assaulted Mr. Pelosi,” spokesperson Drew Hammill said. Mr. Pelosi was hospitalized and is expected to recover.
“Nancy and her family are grateful to the first responders involved and want privacy,” the spokesman added.
The White House stated President Biden “is praying for Paul Pelosi and Speaker Pelosi’s whole family” after the “horrible attack.”
Two sources familiar with the inquiry told The Associated Press that Paul Pelosi was targeted, badly assaulted with a hammer, and received blunt force injuries to his head and torso.
Sources say Pelosi is being treated for bruising and significant edema.
Paul Pelosi Should Recover Well
After surgery to treat a skull fracture and other injuries, Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s spokesperson Drew Hammill said Friday afternoon that Paul Pelosi should recover well.
“Earlier this morning, Paul Pelosi was accosted at home by an intruder who acted with force, threatened his life, and demanded to see the Speaker,” Hammill added.
“Mr. Pelosi received successful skull fracture surgery at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital. His physicians expect a full recovery.”
“The Speaker and her family appreciate the support and prayers from friends, constituents, and Americans.
The Pelosi family appreciates Mr. Pelosi’s whole medical staff and the police who reacted to the assault. This time, the family appreciates seclusion, “Hammill said.
The FBI and the San Francisco Police have launched a joint investigation into the home invasion.
Fox News reported Nancy Pelosi was in Washington, D.C., with her protective detail at the time of the home invasion.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called “what happened to Paul Pelosi a heinous act.”
“I spoke with Nancy Pelosi earlier this morning and communicated my deepest concern and best wishes for her husband and their family, and I hope for him a rapid recovery,” he stated.
Home of Nancy Pelosi Spray Bombed
In 2021, social media and TMZ reported graffiti on Pelosi’s garage door. “$2K” with a line was spray-painted.
“Refund?” “Everything!” “UBI!” read another line, referencing universal basic income.
The San Francisco Police Department responded to the incident at 2 a.m. “Unidentified suspect(s) had graffitied the garage door and left a pig’s head on the sidewalk,” they claimed.
On Friday, a statement from California Gov. Gavin Newsom was released in an address to the home invasion.
“This horrible assault illustrates how divisive and hateful discourse endangers lives and undermines democracy and democratic institutions.
Inciting violence on platforms must be held accountable, “Newsom said. “Our leaders should never worry for their safety or their families while serving their constituents, whether at home or the U.S. Capitol.
Jennifer and I wish Paul a speedy recovery and our prayers to Speaker Pelosi and her family.”
The guy accused of breaking into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s California home and severely hitting her husband with a hammer has been a resident of the United States for 20 years.
42-year-old David DePape grew up in Powell River, British Columbia, Canada, before moving to San Francisco to follow an older girlfriend roughly 20 years ago.
DePape’s address led to a post box at a UPS Store.
David’s stepfather, Gene DePape, described him as a calm youngster who lived with him in Canada until 14.
“David was never violent that I saw and was never in any trouble,” Gene DePape stated, even though he was very introverted and played too many video games.
He claims he hasn’t seen his stepson since 2003 and has attempted to contact him multiple times without luck.
“I tried to contact him in 2007, but his fiancée hung up on me when I wanted to speak with him,” Gene DePape explained.
David DePape was a pro-nudity activist in Berkeley who picketed naked at protests against municipal regulations requiring persons to be publicly clothed.
Gene DePape stated that his son’s girlfriend was Gypsy, and they had 2 children together.
According to his stepfather, David also has a child with a different woman.
The San Francisco Chronicle published photos of DePape frolicking naked outside city hall with dozens of others at the wedding of pro-nudity campaigner Gypsy Taub in 2013.
The Chronicle also noted that a pair of web blogs published under David DePape in recent months contained rants about big tech, aliens, communists, religious minorities, transexuals, and global elites.
