Nancy Pelosi has said some doozies in her decades as a career politician — especially about President-elect Donald Trump.
But with just two weeks before Trump is sworn into office for the second time, the former House Speaker has doubled down with her vendetta against Trump.
The San Francisco Democrat is claiming Trump was personally responsible for the attack on her husband, Paul Pelosi.
Check this out.
During an interview yesterday on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” with Margaret Brennan, Pelosi said that Trump’s rhetoric was the reason for the 2022 attack on her husband, Paul.
On October 28, 2022, David DePape attacked Paul Pelosi in the couple’s home after inexplicably gaining access. He beat Pelosi with a hammer inside the couple’s Pacific Heights, San Francisco residence, leaving him with a fractured skull that required surgery.
Last May, DePape was sentenced to 30 years in prison, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California.
Pelosi made the Trump claim while talking about the possibility of pardons for some January 6 defendants who are serving sentences for their roles in the 2021 Capitol riot.
Pelosi claimed that those who used violent words on that day had “intention” to carry out actual violence.
“Now it didn’t end that day,” she claimed.
“As you know, he called out to these people to continue their violence, my husband being a victim of all of that, and he still has injuries from that attack. So it just goes on and on. It isn’t something that happens and then it’s over. No, once you are attacked, you have consequences that continue.”
“It’s really a strange person who’s going to be President of the United States, who thinks that it’s okay to pardon people who are engaged in an attack,” she continued, claiming that Trump had “conned” the American people about the January 6 riot.
“The President said he would go on a case-by-case basis,” she said. “So I assume that some of those people may not have engaged in the violent activities that some of the others did.”
She again doubled down on falsely suggesting that Trump had offered “encouragement” to those who were “looking for me and finding my husband.”
