After the attack on the husband (82) of the American top politician Nancy Pelosi (82), new details about the incident became known. The alleged perpetrator David D.* (42) planned to take the head of the US House of Representatives hostage and “smash her kneecaps,” he admitted during questioning, court documents released Monday revealed.
He wanted to force the Democrat into a wheelchair to show other members of Congress that their “actions have consequences.” He called Pelosi the “leader of a pack” of alleged lies propagated by Democrats.
The 42-year-old broke into Pelosi’s San Francisco home Friday night and sought the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The 82-year-old was not home at the time. When police arrived, the attacker hit her husband, Paul Pelosi, with a hammer, seriously injuring him, including a skull fracture.
He tried “to be a good person”
David D. is now accused of kidnapping a government official and assaulting a family member of a government official. He could face decades in prison if convicted at the federal level, the Justice Department said Monday.
After the hammer attack, his stepdaughter Inti G.* (20) spoke in a blog. D. would have sexually abused her and his sons.
She describes D. as someone who “really tried to be a good person,” but added, “The monster in him was always too strong to feel safe with him.” Although her mother filed a police report accusing D. of abuse, “the case was not handled properly and nothing was done about it,” Gonzalez wrote.

Pelosi is a constant target of verbal attacks
According to American media, D. was a conspiracy theorist through and through. He shared his confused thoughts on the internet. He warned about the corona vaccines, scolded Jews and is convinced that the world is ruled by a secret elite.
It is clear to D. that the 2020 presidential election is a major scam. Donald Trump actually won, but the election was manipulated and votes were stolen. Trump himself continues to repeat this claim, despite the lack of evidence to back it up.
Nancy Pelosi is a constant target of verbal attacks from the political right. Trump continues to call her “Crazy Nancy” and has made her a hate figure for his supporters over the years. She is number three in the US political hierarchy, after President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
«Long recovery process»
The Democrat is guarded around the clock by bodyguards – so far no protection has been offered to families of members of Congress. Shortly before the US midterm elections on November 8, the US election campaign is in the hot phase.
In a statement late Monday night, Pelosi said she and her husband are very grateful for the many messages that have flooded them “since the horrific attack on Paul early Friday” – with concern, good wishes and prayers. Her husband Paul is making “steady progress in his long recovery process”.
Paul Pelosi had to undergo surgery after the attack for a skull fracture and serious injuries to his right arm and hands. However, doctors expect him to make a full recovery. (SDA/NAB)
