Youngkin rejoinds Nancy Pelosi, saying he was sorry to be with her when she had been attacked with a hammer
Youngkin told a crowd at an event that Nancy Pelosi’s husband had a break-in, after the news that Pelosi’s husband had been attacked with a hammer. There is no place for violence, but we are going to send her back to be with him. That’s what we’re going to go do.”
That he said sorry – albeit a little late – is something Youngkin should still be applauded for. And it stands in stark contrast to how many other members of his party are choosing to behave.
Why does a young lady have protection at school? Nancy Pelosi says no and she doesn’t care about the media and the kids
Lake was asked a question about school safety while he was on the campaign trail. It is possible to keep our kids safe at school. She said that was what she responded to. They act like it. Nancy Pelosi, well, she’s got protection when she’s in DC – apparently her house doesn’t have a lot of protection.”
Lake insisted she had done nothing wrong. “I never made light [of] the attack,” Lake said. “I was talking about our children and why they don’t have better security at school. And I said that our politicians have security and that our athletes have security and we need to have security for our children. Go back and look at the tape and don’t do any creative editing like the fake media tends to do and you’ll see what I was saying. Despicable.”
Lake could have said that at the time, if she had not been joking. There is a line that says this isn’t a laughing matter. But she did not.

Paul Pelosi: A man accused of attacking a Philadelphian with a hammer and a victim of attempted kidnapping
Donald Trump latched onto a conspiracy theory that the glass in Pelosi’s house had been broken from the inside. “It’s weird things going on in that household in the last couple of weeks The former president mentioned it.
Donald Trump Jr. shared an image on social media of a hammer and underwear with the caption “got my Paul Pelosi Halloween costume ready.” According to a filing, DePape struck Pelosi with a hammer during the attack.
An old man was in his house when he was attacked with a hammer. The man alleged to have attacked Paul Pelosi, David DePape, said he planned to break the speaker’s kneecaps. There were two charges of attempted murder and one of attempted kidnapping.
Drew Hammill, a spokesman for Nancy Pelosi, said in an earlier statement that Paul Pelosi had surgery to repair a skull fracture and other injuries he suffered in the attack. He was released from the hospital last week.
“Paul remains under doctors’ care as he continues to progress on a long recovery process and convalescence,” Nancy Pelosi said. His family want privacy as he is now home.
David DePape at the San Francisco County Jail: A Charged Criminally Incriminating Criminally Associated with an Immigration Detainer
He also waived his right to a hearing within 10 days at his arraignment at a San Francisco court room. Judge Diane Northway had a hearing on Friday to set the date of the preliminary hearing and bail setting.
Canadian national David DePape was in custody at the San Francisco County Jail when an immigration detainer was lodged by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
David DePape is charged with six counts relating to the attack, including attempted murder, burglary, assault, false imprisonment and threatening the family member of a public official. He has pleaded not guilty to all state charges.
DePape is accused of attacking a family member of a public official and other crimes. He is not guilty of any state charges.
“He spelled out exactly what he did and why, so he was very clear about what his intentions were, about why he had those intentions, and what exactly he had planned to do,” Jenkins said on “Erin Burnett Outfront” on Friday, referring to DePape’s volunteered statements to police.
Jenkins said it’s not unusual for defense attorneys to explore all options to defend their clients, but added, “I don’t think we can definitely say at this point that he didn’t know what he was doing.”
The doctors are caring for Paul as he undergoes a long recovery and convalescence. According to a statement from the House speaker he’s now home and surrounded by his family who want privacy.
When Paul DePape walked into the Capitol to talk to his wife, Giorgi Pelosi, whose father is a former Attorney in San Francisco
According to the court filing, DePape came to speak with Pelosi’s wife after telling police and medics that he was sick of the level of lies coming from DC.
Christine, the daughter of Pelosi, worked at the San Francisco City Attorney’s office in the 1990s. Giorgi said she has “not seen or heard or talked to Ms. Pelosi” since then.
“So I run to the door, and I’m very scared,” Pelosi said, describing what unfolded. “I see the Capitol Police and they say, ‘We have to come in to talk to you.’”
“And I’m thinking my children, my grandchildren. I never thought it would be Paul because, you know, I knew he wouldn’t be out and about, shall we say. And so they came in. At that time, we didn’t even know where he was,” she said.
What will the California Democrat decide when the Republicans win the re-election? A question that Cooper asked about the attack on Pelosi
One of the most powerful figures in national Democrat politics is Pelosi, who has earned a reputation as a formidable leader and exerts considerable influence on her caucus. There are increasing rumors about what Pelosi will do, and if she will retire if the Republicans win back the majority.
Cooper asked if the decision would be impacted by the attack, after the speaker said it would be affected by what happened over the last week or two.
Absolutely. California Democrat told Bash that people are campaigning and it is a beautiful thing. I am not asking anyone for anything. My members are asking me to consider doing that. Let’s just get through the election.
She continued: “Nonetheless, a great deal is at stake because we’ll be in a presidential election. So my decision will again be rooted in the wishes of my family and the wishes of my caucus. But none of it will be very much considered until we see what the outcome of all of this is. There are many ways to exert influence.
Pelosi said she’s not interested in seeing the results of the election until she sees if Kevin McCarthy can be speaker if Republicans win the chamber.
“Let’s just get through the election, OK? They’ve not won yet. They’ve been measuring the draperies, they’ve been putting forth an agenda. They haven’t won it yet. After the election is concluded, depending on who was in the majority, there’ll be judgments made within their own party, in our own parties, as to how we go forward,” Pelosi said.
“Why would I make a judgment about something that may or may not ever happen? She said she doesn’t think he has it. It’s up to his people to make a decision about how they want to be led.
Nancy Pelosi and the Republicans: What the Hell is The Reaction to the Attack on her Husband, Paul, on Dec. 17, 2006
The battle for control of the House is now the biggest unanswered question of this year’s midterm elections after Democrats kept their narrow Senate majority. Republicans have won 211 of the 218 seats they’d need to take the majority, according to CNN projections, while Democrats have won 204, with 20 undecided as of Sunday morning.
Pelosi said that she is proud of the Democratic candidates for reelection and the challengers, who are red-to-blue.
It wasn’t just the attack. It was the Republicans who responded badly to the attack on the husband, according to the California Democrat speaking on “State of the Union”.
“But that trauma is intensified by the ridiculous disrespectful attitude that the Republicans – and there’s nobody disassociating themselves from the horrible response that they gave to it,” she said.
“Each day takes us closer to recovery. It’s a long haul, but he’s doing well, comforted by the good wishes and especially the prayers of so many people throughout the country,” she said. We want to say thank you to them all. There were many people who said they would vote because this has gone too far.
Nancy Pelosi thinks that the Republicans “horrible” response to the attack on her husband could have turned off some voters.
Immediately following news of the attack, Republicans offered various responses to it, ranging from mockery of the incident and the fanning of conspiracy theories about it, to condemnation of the assault.
In contrast, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, a Republican who drew criticism after referencing the attack as part of a political swipe at Nancy Pelosi, expressed regret over his remark.
Nancy Pelosi’s decision to step down as Speaker of the House came about because of the attack on her husband, Paul Pelosi, according to a CNN interview with their daughter.
“It’s just, at some point, you’re just done. After my father was attacked, that was it. She said that they were just saying “We’re done” when they were in the intensive care unit.
A conversation about Nancy Pelosi, 30 years after her father’s attack on an 82-year-old man and the GOP’s rhetoric
Nancy Pelosi’s status as the leader of the House Democratic Caucus was discussed in a documentary that shows how she managed to stay on message despite a number of bills where she needed to change her mind. Nancy Pelosi hid from the US Capitol rioters on January 6, 2021, where her office was trashed by those who broke into it to search for her.
Pelosi believed that the GOP’s rhetoric played a role in her father’s attack and her mom’s decision not to seek leadership in the next Congress.
The Republicans’ response to the attack was unforgivable. There are jokes. You saw the jokes. The governor of Virginia, the wannabe governor of Arizona, congressmen, were making jokes about an 82-year-old man getting attacked in his own home. I don’t understand how that’s forgivable,” she said, referencing remarks made by Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake.
I understand Nancy Pelosi, if I watched Fox News, I would hate her as well. “You don’t have to support her politics. She has been doing this for 35 years. Her husband, it looks like Frankenstein over here. She said she was done. She is done.
Thirty-five years ago, Pelosi said her mother asked if she could run for office and that she gave her blessing. She looks back at it differently after the attack on her father.
“She says, ‘Mommy has a chance to run for Congress, but I won’t do it unless I have your permission.’ And I said, ‘Mother get a life.’ All right? What teenage girl doesn’t want their mom out of the house? Go, right? We are on the hospital’s intensive care unit. and I say to her, ‘if I had known 35 years later where this was going to end up, I never would have given you my blessing to run in the first place.’”
“Was this all worth it? Is it for my family? What did we go through? Was it worth it? She told him. “Now, my parents would say yes, my father, after all he’s been through, he would say yes. And my mother, of course, she would say, ‘I’m proud of my wounds.’ She is proud of her life. But for the family, the families are the ones that pay the highest price for this kind of life.”
