The assailant who violently assaulted Nancy Pelosi's husband with a hammer on early Friday morning was looking for the speaker herself when he broke into their San Francisco home, shouting 'Where is Nancy? Where's Nancy?'

Speaker Pelosi was in Washington D.C. when Paul Pelosi, 82, was brutally attacked. He was taken to Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and is undergoing brain surgery, NBC News reported. The speaker's office said he is expected to recover.

San Francisco Police Department identified the suspect as 42-year-old David Depape. He will be booked at San Francisco county jail several charges, including-attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, and several other additional felonies.

Depape entered the Pelosi residence through a sliding glass door at the back of the house. Aerial footage showed broken panes of smashed glass at a door to their home.

His target was Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Instead, Depape found her husband of 59 years.

He confronted Paul Pelosi, yelling: 'Where is Nancy? Where is Nancy?.' Depape tried to tie up Paul Pelosi 'until Nancy got home.' When police arrived, the suspect told them: 'We're waiting for Nancy,' CNN reported.

San Francisco Police Chief William Scott indicated there was some type of confrontation between the two men involving a hammer. But it was unclear who the hammer belonged to - if Depape brought it with him or if Paul Pelosi had it for defensive reasons.

Scott said when his officers entered the home, they 'observed Mr. Pelosi and the suspect both holding a hammer. The suspect pulled the hammer away from Mr. Pelosi and violently assaulted him with it. Our officers immediately tackled the suspect, disarmed him, took him into custody, requested emergency backup and rendered medical aid.'

Assault hammer?
Fully automatic hammer?
AR-15 hammer?
Saturday night special hammer?

Time to ban hammers.

Maybe have a waiting period. Maybe have a background check before buying one.

There needs to be a limit on the number of nails one can buy.

Attacker, 42, smashed through glass doors

And yet the police had to wait until "someone" opened the door for them.

Whatever the MSM is pushing is a big fat lie. They are covering whatever went down, up. And in a fit of pre-electoral desperation.

Anyone remember Cesar Sayoc?

Why were both men only wearing underwear when police arrived?

Now seeing reports that “David Depape” is a myth. One story has the guy in the Pelosi house was a cameraman known to the Pelosi’s who was filming at J6. Whomever called 911 said the guy was a friend. Nothing adds up on this story. Santa Monica Observer story claims that the other male was a male prostitute and it has been known for awhile that Paul P is gay. I don’t care either way what Paul P. does in his house but don’t like the press trying to tie this attack to right wing Republicans. Nancy P. has a problem on her hands.
