Pelosi om maken: Tar tid att bli återställd igen
USA:s förra talman Nancy Pelosis make Paul mår ”okej”, men ”det kommer ta ett tag för honom att bli helt återställd” efter förra årets grova misshandel, säger Nancy Pelosi i en ny intervju med CNN.
– Jag är väldigt ledsen över det som hände, och desto mer eftersom (gärningsmannen) letade efter mig. Min käre make, som inte ens är särskilt politisk, fick betala priset.
Det var i oktober som en man beväpnad med hammare bröt sig in i paret Pelosis hem i San Francisco. Efter att ha begärt att få träffa Nancy attackerade han Paul, som fick opereras för skallfrakturer och svåra skador på ena armen och handen.
bakgrund
Attacken mot Paul Pelosi
Wikipedia (en)
On October 28, 2022, an assailant attacked Paul Pelosi, the husband of U.S. Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, with a hammer during a home invasion at the couple's residence in Pacific Heights, San Francisco. Pelosi was seriously injured and underwent surgery for a fractured skull.
David DePape, a 42-year-old Canadian citizen, was arrested at the scene. He reportedly planned to take Speaker Pelosi hostage and interrogate her. State prosecutors believe the attack to be politically motivated. DePape had a history of mental health issues and drug abuse; prior to the attack, he had embraced various far-right conspiracy theories, including QAnon, Pizzagate, and Donald Trump's false claims of a stolen election in 2020. Online, he made conspiratorial, racist, sexist, and antisemitic posts, and pushed COVID-19 vaccine misinformation. His blog also contained delusional thoughts.
On October 31, DePape was charged with two federal crimes: assault of an immediate family member of a federal official with the intent to retaliate against the official on account of the performance of official duties; and attempted kidnapping of a federal official on account of the performance of official duties. He was also charged with six state felonies, including attempted murder, residential burglary, and assault with a deadly weapon. Within days, prominent right-wing figures including former president Donald Trump shared disinformation and misinformation about the attack, casting doubt on the assailant's motives and claiming that the attack was a false flag operation.
