Suspect in Pelosi Attack in US Illegally: Report

The man accused of attacking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband with a hammer was living in the United States illegally, according to a Fox News senior correspondent.

As first reported by Chad Pergram, David DePape, 42, overstayed his visa. On Sunday, an ex-girlfriend of the nudist activist described DePape as severely mentally ill and a progressive — not a MAGA activist or a Republican.

Investigators have not provided a definitive motive for DePape’s attack on Paul Pelosi.

DePape is facing a litany of state charges, including attempted murder. Earlier today, federal prosecutors filed two federal criminal charges against DePape: attempted kidnapping and retaliating against a federal official by threatening or injuring a family member.

Additional information on the incident can be found in DePape’s arrest affidavit below:

Paul Pelosi, 82, is expected to make a full recovery. The speaker’s office released a brief statement after surgeons mended his skull fracture and injuries to his right arm and hands.

It read, in part:

“The Speaker and her family are thankful for the outpouring of support and prayers from friends, constituents and people around the country.  The Pelosi family is immensely grateful to Mr. Pelosi’s entire medical team and the law enforcement officers who responded to the assault.  The family appreciates respect for their privacy during this time.”

    Another BS story by the communist MSM how much did Poohlosi have to pay to silence those liberals [CNN, MSNBC, and any other commie]reporters.

      They cover up for liberals for free if they have connections to the party. .

    So now we have another version of what happened to Pelosi. What’s next, a creature from outer space? Seems like they’re using this story to try and gather votes for Nancy and the rest of the left wing democrats.

    Strong sympathies for the Pelosi attack… Strong sympathies for the families of how many kids and adults were shot or killed during the same timeframe…not hearing much on their behalf…just who is allowing all this crime and sicumstance to continue escalating? Who? Who did you say?

      The democrats

      Yup the democrat are responsible for pretty much everything that is screwed up.

    Gabe hanzeli

    Gee all the disinformation pushing democrats say he is a republican. He himself said green party. Sounds like the democrats are lying again.

    Why was an illegal alien intruder fighing with Paul pelosi and both were in their underwear?

    I think the entire story is democrat lies.

    We probably won’t get the real news about Mr. Pelosi’s gay escapades while Nancy is away. Not from the legacy media.

    aileen herring

    Kid Karma work or is there more to the story. Find it hard he just walked thru doors. Sure the security on Pelosi’s house is much better than that

    Paul Pelosi’s choice of party guests should not be questioned.

    Interesting that the Pelosi “attacker” was also filming the chaos of Jan. 6 in Washington, D.C. Wonder who paid him?

      StanB

      Hey, that’s fully clothed to him, he usually walks around San Fran naked. He can’t be deported because Newsom made Ca. a sanctuary state. Newsom also supports homelessness, drug addiction, crime, taxes and socialism

    Nancy

    I haven’t an ounce of sympathy for him, or his wife PUlosi. It’s the Demoncraps fault that this country is being overrun by ILLEGALS. They are allowing them to just walk across the border, stay after their Visa is expired, fail to allow ICE or the police to keep them in custody, or to deport them. Anything. This falls directly on the heads of the Demoncraps. They are reaping what they have sewn. Good.

      “The word is “SOWN” . “You reap what you sow.”
      I guess “Defund Police” isn’t quite working , now is it?
      I wish to know , and it was reported , that the police were standing around , and this ILLEGAL smashed Paul on the head, hands , and arms. Just what were they doing? Did they allow this to happen because Paul got off the Drunken Under the Influence ticket? Or, was good old , you wanted police defunded and this what YOU DESERVE??
      Also , “Show the video, show the reasons for HOW this guy got into a house with an alarm system!! Oh, my bad, “he was an invited guest.”.
