Paul Pelosi, the husband of the U.S. Speaker of the House, attacked in his home by QAnon sympathizer

I wish I could say that I was shocked, but I'm not.


Those with violent tendencies, like Trumpkins, consider elected officials and their families to be fair game.

From AP -

Suspect in assault at Pelosi home had posted about QAnon

The man accused of breaking into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s 

California home and severely beating her husband with a hammer 

appears to have made racist and often rambling posts online, 

including some that questioned the results of the 2020 election, defended 

former President Donald Trump and echoed QAnon conspiracy theories.

David DePape, 42, grew up in Powell River, British Columbia, before 

leaving about 20 years ago to follow an older girlfriend to San Francisco. 

A street address listed for DePape in the Bay Area college town of Berkeley 

led to a post office box at a UPS Store.

DePape was arrested at the Pelosi home early Friday. San Francisco 

District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said she expected to file 

multiple felony charges, including attempted murder, assault with 

a deadly weapon, burglary and elder abuse.


And with Mark Finchem, Kari Lake, and others being the Republican nominees for various office, we should expect more politically-motivated violence.
