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.”

Castro is the Gay district in San Francisco, sort of like Queens for gays.
From wiki:
"The Castro District, commonly referred to as the Castro, is a neighborhood in Eureka Valley in San Francisco. The Castro was one of the first gay neighborhoods in the United States. Having transformed from a working-class neighborhood through the 1960s and 1970s, the Castro remains one of the most prominent symbols of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) activism and events in the world."
Probably Paul's gay lover.
Who are the “Taubs” and what’s their connection to Pelosi?
show me where they did that. I think you’re a liar.
I believe it is a section of San Fran area.
This guy does not sound like a right-winger to me.
some people have said this might be from the alarm going off and called in as wellness check
Go look for yourself you Ukrainian propaganda freak.
Why?
The Castro District of San Francisco. It's the intersection of Castro Street and Market Street to the south. The landmark is the Castro Theater at the heart of the historic gay community in San Francisco.

The press will magically transform him into a Trump supporter.................
We hopefully will learn more. I’m sure there is an untold story here, perhaps such as you describe.
The media and Democrats may well spin it as a politically motivated attack, but this guy hardly seems the “MAGA” type, who would want to attack a Democrat for political reasons.
Don’t bring a hammer to a single hammer hammer fight

Capitol Police.
Extending their reach.
They are the Gazpacho.
When I was checking out the latest additions to the light rail network in San Francisco in 1995, I was walking down Castro when I noticed my shoe was untied. I wedged myself between a lamppost and a newspaper kiosk to tie my shoe so that I would not present a tempting target for the area’s inhabitants.
“ This guy is a homeless homosexual prostitute who was going to blackmail Paul.”
My initial thought were along these lines.
