Nancy Pelosi Says She's 'Heartbroken And Traumatized' After Husband's Attack
Nancy Pelosi's statement comes one day after a man broke into her San
Francisco home and beat her husband Paul Pelosi with a hammer.
Oct 29, 2022
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi <https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/nancy-pelosi>
(D-Calif.) has addressed the “life-threatening attack” of her husband Paul
Pelosi <https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/paul-pelosi> for the first time
since he sustained a skull fracture along with other serious injuries in a
home break-in assault on Friday.
The House Speaker’s statement — addressed to her colleagues in Congress —
comes one day after a man broke into the couple’s San Francisco
<https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/san-francisco> home, allegedly
confronted Paul Pelosi and asked “Where is Nancy, Where is Nancy?
<https://www.huffpost.com/entry/paul-pelosi-assaulted-home-nancy-pelosi_n_635bd0cfe4b04dfacf7f659d>”
before the attacker beat him with a hammer.
David DePape, who San Francisco police identified as the suspect in the
hammer attack, reportedly shared conspiracy theories and blogged “screeds
against Jews, Black people, Democrats
<https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/democratic-party>, the media and
transgender people,” The Washington Post reported on Saturday
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2022/10/29/david-depape-blog-pelosi-fairies/?itid=ap_aaronc.davis>.
Paul Pelosi is expected to make a full recovery after he underwent surgery
for his injuries, Nancy Pelosi
<https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/nancy-pelosi>’s office said on Friday.
Nancy Pelosi, who was not at home during the attack, said in a statement on
Saturday <https://www.speaker.gov/newsroom/102922> that she along with her
family are “heartbroken” over the attack and added that her husband’s
condition “continues to improve.”
Dear Colleague,
“Yesterday morning, a violent man broke into our family home, demanded to
confront me and brutally attacked my husband Paul. Our children, our
grandchildren and I are heartbroken and traumatized by the life-threatening
attack on our Pop,” Pelosi said.
“We are grateful for the quick response of law enforcement and emergency
services, and for the life-saving medical care he is receiving. Please know
that the outpouring of prayers and warm wishes from so many in the Congress
is a comfort to our family and is helping Paul make progress with his
recovery. His condition continues to improve.”
“We are also comforted by the words of the Book of Isaiah: ‘Do not fear, for
I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you
and help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand,’” she continued.
“We thank you and pray for the continued safety and well-being of your
family.”
Sincerely,
NANCY PELOSI

The attack reportedly took place on the same day as several U.S. security
agencies’ warned

of extremists showing behavior that will likely result in “heightened
threats of violence against a broad range of targets ― such as ideological
opponents and election workers,” CNN reported
<https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/28/politics/midterm-domestic-extremist-threat/index.html>.
President Joe Biden <https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/joe-biden> weighed
in on the attack against Paul Pelosi on Friday and called it a “despicable

act, adding there’s no place for it in America.
San Francisco police officials said DePape will be charged

with attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse and
burglary.
