Nancy Pelosi’s husband attacked in SF home

Thank god they're rich, or he'd've had to settle for medical care that was simply decent.

What do people expect? Fox News and right-wing media targeted him viciously for weeks. Remember all the news about ice in their fridge or his DUI. Not surprising some lunatic finally broke into their home and attacked someone.

I just wanted some ice cream 🍨

That’s what you took out of this r1? You know that Dems want universal health care.

I saw a handful of QAnon style comments on Twitter when he was arrested for DUI, so I suspect he's been a target of the far right nutjobs for a while now.

The rightwingers on Twitter are saying the same thing R1 is, either "at least he gets health care" or "maybe now these Democrats will admit there's a crime problem."

As if Democrats don't already know that rightwing violence is a problem.

I am hoping that it winds up being some Q-loon or similar right winger - will definitely help get out the D vote

It was the Pimp-Daddy. Never stiff a Pimp=Daddy..

No R4, I just found the press release kinda funny.

Wake up Murica..

Please don’t let this erupt into a gay scandal.

R10, A la Lee Miglin/Andrew Cunanan?

Yup. My first thought.

Capitol rioters specifically tried to hunt down Nancy Pelosi to kill her, but this is some random attack? No way. They were expecting Nancy to be there.

He was arrested for being hammered and now he's literally been hammered

I bet it's a crackhead.

Whoever he was, he was yelling "Where is Nancy, where is Nancy?" This was political violence.

Suspect in custody

Intruder was looking for Nancy

Are people just numb to this stuff? Yes, the intruder was uninformed, since Pelosi is now in D.C., but it appears that he intended to beat or kill her.

CNBC: It’s not the first time the Democratic House speaker, also 82, has been targeted with threats.

A North Carolina man, Cleveland Meredith, was sentenced last December to 28 months in prison after pleading guilty to threatening to shoot Pelosi. Meredith, 53, had traveled to Washington on Jan. 6, 2021, planning to attend rallies on that day, but didn’t arrive until the evening, when the pro-Trump riot at the U.S. Capitol had been tamped down.

Another man, 77-year-old Steven Martis of Arizona, was sentenced in February to 21 months behind bars for threatening to kill Pelosi in messages to her D.C. office.

And in April, Florida man Paul Hoeffer, 60, was sentenced to 18 months in prison for phone calls in which he threatened to behead Pelosi and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., another frequent target of criticism from the political right.

And people really believe that Nancy doesn’t have 24 hour heavy security at her place? She’s a gazillionaire

I guess they are so desperate with the state of their polling and upcoming election they need a Jussie 2.0 story for the press

I don’t buy any of it - just political theater to save the midterms -

Nancy heard the commotion and hid in the basement.

He just wanted a tour of the house. Geez 🙄

We only have Paul’s word that the intruder was looking for Nancy.

Attacked him with a hammer? That's not your usual burglar. Could be politically motivated. Could be a just a nut with some unrelated fantasy grievance. Lord knows we have plenty of lunatics in SF but they don't usually hang out on the streets in nice neighborhoods.

Ah, so he WAS looking for Nancy. We do have a few MAGA nuts in the Bay Area. Or, as I said, it could just be a lunatic hearing voices who blames her for everything wrong in his life. Could be both.

What's wrote with the OG thread, which has 6x the posts?

what's WRONG

R21: Fuck off, you traitorous, cult-member piece of shit! You and your sister whore at R22.

R21 = sad troll. Her husband is currently undergoing brain surgery you little micro penis loser.

I already had r21 blocked. Trolly troll is a bad, bad troll.

God help us if Mr. Pelosi should die from his injuries.

It is time President Biden holds a Sunday evening "fireside chat" with the American people. The theme? "We Need To Talk About Donald."

Of course Andrea Mitchell 'both sides-ed' it this morning with "...but Steve Scalise was shot too". I really despise her.

Estranged from his family. No surprise there. I wouldn't want to be in contact with that asshole, either

Republican's are morbidly amused by this. Their only argument at this point is "gee, you should have had better security, tee hee!" instead of "gee, our base is full of murderous sociopaths!".

Paul Pelosi is undergoing surgery. Scary incident. Where was security?

R37, seriously, where was it? And I don’t mean this in any way to blame the victim, but geez, if the Capitol riots didn’t warn us that Nancy needed protection (and her family), then what the hell?? Didn’t Paul have security from the Capitol police?

WAIT FOR IT----->> 100 MILLION DOLLAR Nancy is going to want American Taxpayers to pick up the price tag for FREE security for DC Elected Officials...

R39, fuck off troll

Block r39 and a lot of turds disappear.

R41 thinks the RICH need MORE free stuff. Fuck you bitch.

6 people shot outside of a memorial service in Pittsburgh for a victim of gun violence

Or how about we need to talk about pervasive violence and guns

^ Another mass shooting, just a typical day in 'Murica.

I cannot believe this house was not ALARMED within an inch of its life!! There are houses in my St Louis suburb that would have had alarms shrieking as soon as that patio window was touched! WTF??!!

Attacker is an illegal alien from Canada with a long criminal history including elder abuse who wasn't deported because SF is a sanctuary city.

Wake up call to pervasive violence
