Share

Early on Friday morning, Paul Pelosi, the husband of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, was attacked at their San Francisco home and taken to the hospital.

After the attack, Pelosi’s office released a statement about the incident.

“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.”

Hammill said the speaker “was not in San Francisco at the time,” adding that she and her family “are grateful to the first responders and medical professionals involved, and request privacy at this time.”

The details of the assault and the motive of the person who attacked Pelosi’s husband were unclear Friday morning.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported that city police did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

This is not the first time the Pelosis have been targeted in San Francisco.

Their home was vandalized on New Year’s Day 2021, according to KGO-TV.

Do you think the attack was politically motivated?

The vandals reportedly spraypainted “$2K”, “Cancel rent!” and “We want everything” on the garage door and also put fake blood and a pig head outside the house, the report said.

San Francisco has been struggling with crime.
