The day before yesterday, Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was attacked at the couple’s home in San Francisco by a male assailant.
Law enforcement sources that remained unnamed told CNN that the assailant was searching for the Speaker of the House. The source claims the intruder confronted the Speaker’s husband in their San Francisco home shouting, “Where is Nancy? Where is Nancy?”
This was apparently the exact call that January 6th ‘rioters’ made as they ‘hunted’ House Speaker and broke into her office.
How did Paul Pelosi manage to alert the police?
According to another unnamed CNN source, Paul called 911 himself after telling the intruder he had to go use the bathroom. Yes, the violent intruder was considerate enough to allow Paul to take a bathroom break.
This is very rare, but let’s give Paul the benefit of doubt. Perhaps Paul is one of those rare lucky individuals that arouses compassion even in a psychopathic assailant.
The man who assaulted Paul Pelosi tried to tie him up “until Nancy got home,” according to two CNN sources familiar with the situation, once again these two sources were unnamed.
When officers arrived on the scene, police said they saw both Paul Pelosi and his assailant with their hands on a hammer. At that moment, the assailant allegedly pulled the hammer from Pelosi and struck him.
Drew Hammill, a spokesman for Nancy Pelosi, released a statement that Paul was taken to a hospital where he underwent a “successful surgery to repair a skull fracture and serious injuries to his right arm and hands” and ‘his doctors expect a full recovery’.
It is very rare for a man in his eighties, attacked with a hammer causing a skull fracture, to make a full recovery. It is also very rare for doctors to be able to make such a declaration without observing the patient for a prolonged period.
But let’s give Paul the benefit of doubt, again, perhaps because he is one of those rare lucky individuals.
There are a few open questions about the attack.
Doesn’t Nancy Pelosi’s residence have security; she is third in line for the Presidency after all.
My firm served a lawsuit against Paul Pelosi one time in SF after attempting to serve at other residences—Napa, Georgetown. They weren’t home, but staff were, & multiple law enforcement officers were on the perimeter. Break-in is odd given this level of security.

The motive behind the attack is unclear.
San Francisco Police Chief William Scott said during a news conference on the investigation that authorities are still determining a motive behind the attack, but they intend to book the suspect on felony charges.
“The suspect is still in the hospital, but let me say this: we intend to book the suspect, whether it’s in absentia or whether it’s in person – he will be booked for felony charges,”
But that didn’t stop the Democrats and their media messengers from baselessly claiming that the attack was politically motivated and blaming who else but Republicans and President Donald Trump.
Biden described the attack as “despicable” and denounced a corrosive political climate for contributing to violence and baselessly claimed the attack appeared to be “intended for Nancy.”
