SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA - OCTOBER 28: A San Francisco police officer stands guard in front of the home of U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on October 28, 2022 in San Francisco, California. Paul Pelosi, the husband of U.S. Speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi, was violently attacked in their home by an intruder. One arrest has been made. Speaker Pelosi was not at home at the time of the attack.
Reportedly Paul Pelosi attacker is David Depape — a Castro supporting nudist transient from Berkeley CA (he’s on the far LEFT literally and figuratively)
The man who allegedly broke into the home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and attacked her husband, Paul Pelosi, was identified Friday afternoon as 42-year-old David Depape.
Police said at a press conference that they responded to the home around 2:30 a.m. and that when they arrived on scene they witnessed the suspect and Paul Pelosi fighting for control of a hammer. The suspect “pulled the hammer away from Mr. Pelosi and violently assaulted him with it,” police said.
“Our officers immediately tackled the suspect, disarmed him, took him into custody, requested emergency backup and rendered medical aid,” police added.
No motive was released as officials said that the investigation was ongoing.
Both Paul Pelosi and the suspect were transported to a local hospital for treatment.
“Early this morning, an assailant broke into the Pelosi residence in San Francisco and violently assaulted Mr. Pelosi,” Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said. “The assailant is in custody and the motivation for the attack is under investigation. Mr. Pelosi was taken to the hospital, where he is receiving excellent medical care and is expected to make a full recovery.”
Heavy.com, a fact-finding website, highlighted a tweet from a Mission Local journalist Joe Eskenazi that stated: “My sources also name the suspect in this morning’s hammer attack on Paul Pelosi as David DePape, born 1980, of Berkeley. He would appear to be a former Castro nudist protester. Things appear set to be bizarre for a while.”
The report highlighted a 2013 article San Francisco Chronicle in which the same man appears to have been mentioned, although his name is spelled wrong in the article but is spelled correctly in the captions of the one of the photos included in the article. The article described him as a “hemp jewelry maker.”
Nancy Pelosi was not home when the attacked occurred.
CNN reported that the assailant tried to tie Paul Pelosi up and repeatedly asked, “Where’s Nancy?” When the police arrived at the residence, the attacker said he was “waiting for Nancy,” the report said.
The U.S. Capitol Police, FBI and San Francisco Police Department are conducting a joint investigation into the attack, according to the Capitol Police, which said in a statement that staff from the field office “quickly arrived on scene, while a team of investigators from the Department’s Threat Assessment Section was simultaneously dispatched from the East Coast to assist the FBI and the San Francisco Police with a joint investigation.”

Let me guess - Fetterman released him on cashless bail too.
and this is who the commie media wants to convince us was maga LOL LOL LOL
Dibbs on the Ferrari
The evening news will describe him as a White supremacist with a MAGA hat.
The phot caption lists the guy as a “family friend”, not married to Taub.
This guy is a homeless homosexual prostitute who was going to blackmail Paul.

I’m sure they’ll find a MAGA hat.
With names like NEBOSPOD these kids will be neurotic in ten years.........
He was also caught wearing ONLY his underwear when confronted by cops..this is some weird S&M thing gone bad he only attacked Pelosi after the cops arrived..and by the looks of the windows were shattered FROM THE INSIDE
The Libs found something that he wrote to claim that he is a “2020 Election denier” so they have started to work to turn this into a MAGA is dangerous narrative.
Yep, this is not your normal break in.
can some explain the castro part? Was he protesting for or against Fidel Castro or some city in California
Great to know anyone could enter Pelosi’s residence and take them hostage...
These people are a national security disaster.
I wonder if Pauly P found this dude on Tinder..why would the cops at 2am go to the house for a “Wellness check” and they were BOTH holding hammers..so Paul had one and the perp had one were they playing hammer, paper, scissors
This detail of the background of the assailant is going to be covered up very, very quickly.
Being from Berkeley just about says it all.
“Things appear set to be bizarre for a while.”
mcconnell and cruz have already give credit for MAGA doing it. I swear we have the weakest representation in human history, cowards all!
This refers to the Castro area, not the dictator.
I’m sorry this happened to him but it does sound like the same lawlessness and leftist filth they promoted came back to harm him.
