  1. My 90 year-old grandad was beaten to death by a stranger in the middle of the night. We know exactly how you feel. I’m so sorry for what your dad was put through. It’s just beyond words and beyond painful.

    1. @liberal halfbreeds evidently you are a cnn viewer. your compassion and humanity for those who have experienced violence is ….where?

    2. @JCcl fruit of the Spirit lmao, if this had happened to trump you would say he deserved it..Stop trying to virtue signal kiddo

    3. @liberal halfbreeds what does Trump have to do with this? You commented on my losing my grandad to a stranger beating him to death. You questioned if it happened. I responded that truth is not dependent on your acceptance. So, your hostility stems from being a follower of trump? I’m not from the US buddy. I couldnt care less about your juvenile response to politics. So, I’m asking, where is your compassion and your humanity or did trump steal that? You’ve got to see and understand how warped your position is. You can be a Trump follower and still have a heart and be a caring human being!

  2. I can’t even imagine how this lady would be feeling after what happened to her elderly father. I looked after my 90 year old mother directly for two years of the pandemic and kept her safe. If something like this had happened to her I would have just fallen apart.
    Bless you Alexandra and take care of yourself (emphasis) and your folks❤ from an Australian cousin.

    1. @Phelps Phelps deplorable like Joe Biden molesting his own daughter Ashley deplorable or Hillary Clinton colluded with Russia deplorable?

    2. @Randi Bagley-Goodwin its not, its hard to believe that a victim would run towards the assailant when there is help (police) right in front, and also trying to portray a left-wing nutcase as a trump supporter for political gains that’s disgusting…

    3. Paul invited this gay nudist man into his house..
      And y’all wanna defend the Elitist family that profit off your ignorance 😂🤡

    4. That is unimaginable; I’m so sorry; I don’t really have words for what has happened to you.
      Don’t fuss about the couple of loonies on this thread and you look after yourself (with emphasis). From an Australian cousin. ❤

  3. I’m so sorry this evil happened, and I have the utmost respect for her whole family. Please stay safe 🙏

    1. @Rider 38 Everyone has seen the details. The police report from the San Francisco Police Dept. and the DOJ charging document are available online. What evidence do you have that something different happened?

    2. @Hawley Griffin Paul answered the door, then walked back over to his “attacker”

      You can be dumb if you want…

      That’s what CNN is for.

    1. It’s not the government’s responsibility. It cannot be legislated. It is purely personal and the responsibility lay in ever single person’s lap.

    2. There is no “must” about any of this. Civilizations rise, civilizations fall. The “Cycle of Civilization” has been rolling through human history since there has been human history. What laws would you propose? Repeal the First Amendment? The first rule of solutions is that the solution is not worse than the problem.

    3. @Construimus Batuimus
      Oh b.s.
      So are you saying there is nothing that can be done.
      Just throw your hands up & give up?

    4. He was attacked by known prostitute who was obviously his lover. Not exactly like a random crazy went and targeted him and instead a lovers quarrel. Why is nobody even talking about how he said he knew the guy to the cops and was only attacked when the cops arrived?

  4. Social media allows people to really let their hate flag fly but it doesn’t just stay there- it translates to really life actions like the attempted murder of her 82 year old father

    1. He was attacked by known prostitute who was obviously his lover. Not exactly like a random crazy went and targeted him and instead a lovers quarrel. Why is nobody even talking about how he said he knew the guy to the cops and was only attacked when the cops arrived?

  5. You can really tell the pain and anger in her heart I can’t believe how heartless people can be in this country

  6. Shame on those who think that the assault is funny or deserved somehow. No matter what, an elderly man was hurt so badly that he had to have emergency surgery to protect his brain. Making that into a joke or a chance for political comment is heartless.

    1. That’s the Heartless GQP Party for ya —The Party of Insurrectionists, Grifters, Liars and Cheats LOCK THEM UP🥊🇺🇸

    2. What Don trump Jr. did, posting a photo of a pair of men’s underwear and a hammer posting “This would be a good idea to dress up for Halloween” that is and WAS JUST UNFORGIVABLE he makes me sick, he is so sick, evil, immoral and immature and nasty. I shall never forget seeing that post it shocked me yes shocked me even though we shouldn’t be surprised that it was Don Jr. doing this I still was, I mean how far do some of these SICK IMMORAL PEOPLE go??

  7. What a passionate , insightful and well balanced woman . All the Trump kids put together don’t have the same level of insight and intelligence..

  8. Such a powerful and truthful testimony. Thank you Alexandra and CNN for bringing this story into our homes. No one deserves this horrific treatment in action or words for serving our country – Not your Dad, your Mom or your family.

  9. This is the most honest and plainly articulated interview that I can remember hearing in recent history. 💖🕊️💖

    1. @Ampersandrascott Republicans isn’t your problem. 2023 is not an election year, lots of misery is headed our way

    2. @Richard Reese Ooo! What can we expect? More Republicon mass shootings? Another insurrection? Trump being put back in power? Tell us!

    3. @Ampersandrascott I’m not here for the stupid left/right cult arguments. I stand by my comment and you just use rhetoric, not solving anything

  10. I understand her frustration and pain. These are her parents and she love them. I can’t blame her. However, her mother has done good work. God has kept her all of these years. Continuing blessings upon their family.

    1. Nancy called for uprisings all.over the US! Gave millions to bail her minions out of jail so they could continue burning looting and killing! Not a good person.

  11. I so appreciate this interview. I hear her so clearly. Alexandra is dropping some truth bombs. I’m sure the toll on the families of those in positions of power can be enormous but I’m particularly interested in her now perspective as she will be among those who have privilege and money and power. It is what it is and I appreciate the coverage of it. These are national AND very personal traumas; it’s hard stuff for the soul! 💞

  12. God bless you Alexandria, because that situation was terribly horrific. And for Republicans to make fun of it, shows who they really are.

  13. Thank you for this interview. This all needed to be said, Alexandra. Mad respect for your entire family. May you all be safe and have the best Christmas ever. Your mom is a legend, and the horror today does not erase those years of accomplishments. Really hope we get back to civility. There was a level of grace and respect in information and now it is hate, lies, and goons on social media. I hope you and Maria Ressa have at least met at this point, there are a lot of parallels of her work and your father’s violent attack.

  14. Love and blessings and gratitude for the dedication, the sacrifice and the service Nancy Pelosi and family has given to democracy in America. Thank God for you!

  15. What a sensible, spontaneous and genuinely passionate person. Wish more like her would be seen and heard in the media. She should actually run for congress!!!
