It’s like something out of a horror movie — but it’s just what’s happened to politics in the US in 2022.
For those who haven’t heard, Nancy Pelosi‘s husband was attacked in the couple’s San Francisco home early Friday morning. According to San Francisco Police Chief William Scott, at about 2:30 a.m. officers went to check on the Pacific Heights residence and found a man had broken in through glass doors and was fighting with Paul Pelosi over a hammer. The intruder, who has since been identified as David DePape, 42, grabbed the tool and struck Pelosi multiple times with it before being taken down by the cops.
In a statement earlier, Nancy’s spokesperson said Paul was “expected to make a full recovery.” However, it sounds really serious. According to NBC Bay Area, the 82-year-old “was taken to Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and undergoing brain surgery.” Oh no… A source did confirm to the outlet, however, that he was in stable condition. He was also treated for facial injuries. Secret Service agents are now stationed at the hospital to keep guard.

Sadly — but perhaps not shockingly — this does appear to have been a politically motivated attack. According to reports, DePape specifically targeted the Pelosi home looking for the Senator and was trying to tie up Paul while waiting for his wife to return. He was heard demanding:
DePape’s party affiliation is unknown, though he was reportedly known locally primarily as a pro-nudist activist who often protested — and we could not make this up — the requirement to wear clothes in public. That certainly wouldn’t account for targeting Nancy Pelosi however, as she isn’t any more pro-clothing than any
