US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi discussed the first fearful moments she had to go through after learning of her husband’s brutal attack in her first television interview following the incident. She emphasised that this “traumatic” occurrence will effect her decision on her political future.
Pelosi claimed in an interview with the American CNN network, which was aired on Monday, that she was asleep in her Washington, D.C., home on the morning of the attack when she heard the bell ringing and a knock on her door. When she opened the door, the Capitol police officers informed her in Arabic that her 82-year-old husband Paul had been attacked at their San Francisco house and had been sent to the hospital.
Pelosi indicated that she had immediately boarded a plane and headed to a hospital in San Francisco, whose husband was transferred to him after a skull fracture, adding that she did not imagine that her husband Paul was subjected to such an attack.
In the middle of the night on October 28, a man broke into the couple’s San Francisco home, attacked Paul with a hammer, and at least once hit him.
David Deepab, the 42-year-old attacker who fractured Nancy Pelosi’s knees in the attack, admitted to the investigators that he also intended to blame Nancy Pelosi, who was not home at the time.
In the interview with “CNN,” Pelosi stated that there are similarities between the Dibab’s actions and beliefs and those of the thousands of participants in last year’s attack on the Capitol building on January 6, both of which were characterised as a flame “feeding on incorrect information.”
