Somebody broke into the house of Home Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and assaulted her husband, Paul Pelosi, her workplace mentioned Friday.
“Early this morning, an assailant broke into the Pelosi residence in San Francisco and violently assaulted Mr. Pelosi,” a spokesman for the speaker mentioned in a press release.
Police arrested the attacker and are investigating the motivation, in accordance with Pelosi’s workplace. The speaker was not in Francisco on the time.
“Mr. Pelosi was taken to the hospital, the place he’s receiving glorious medical care and is predicted to make a full restoration,” the spokesman mentioned.
The assault comes amid heightened considerations over each crime and political violence. Inside minutes of Pelosi’s assertion, a Fox News host described the attack for example of how “crime hits all people.”
Nancy Pelosi is without doubt one of the best-known politicians within the U.S. and one of the vilified Democrats in Republican campaigns. Her San Francisco house has been vandalized repeatedly in recent times.
