The assailant severely beat Paul Pelosi with a hammer, the Associated Press reported, citing two people with knowledge of the investigation. He suffered blunt force trauma to his head and body.
Pelosi, 82, was taken to the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery, the speaker's office said. Nancy Pelosi was not in San Francisco at the time of the assault.
The motive for the attack is under investigation, according to a joint statement from the U.S. Capitol Police, FBI and San Francisco Police. The joint inquiry appeared to underscore law enforcement's increasing focus on the risk to public officials in the volatile political climate
The assailant is in custody, authorities said, but they did not release the person's name.

Hammer life matters
Defund the police, remember Democrats?
Exactly…if we knew NUTJOBS would only attack liberal Demoncrats I would support DEFUNDING Police! ❤️🙏
Why aren’t you out beating police with flag poles like your brethren?
Here we go again. It’s Trump’s fault.
Let’s give this case to LA District Atterney George Gascón for a NO CHARGE conclusion. (Hilarious)
Exactly!!!
Excellent.
i THINK THIS IS A FALSE FLAG….ITS JUST TOOO GOOOOD! 😆
No it’s a rainbow flag.
My question is, with so much security in their home, how did they get in? Humm ? 🤔
Nancy opened the door for the guy.
Same way the Jan 6th people got into the Capitol. Same way Jussie Smolett got jumped. Are you really going to still trust anything these people claim? 🤭 Pee Pee Tapes? Hunter’s laptop is Russian disinformation? The jab is 98% safe and effective? Really dude?
He had a hammer and smashed out windows
@Mr.Burns-On_Acid The dude is doing 100mil+/year from insidertrading.
Maybe he can hire some security or is he saving the money for when he gets old?
Jack Daniels and Jim Beam are wanted for questioning
Excellent!!? ❤️🙏
KARMA
What is this an A.R. 15 style hammer? Was the hammer made by smith and Wesson? Or was it a 9 mm hammer?
MC hammer was seen fleeing the scene.
It was a muzzle loader bolt action fully semi automatic with a belt fed grenade flamethrower with a bump stock Hammer
Hahahaha give the attacker a medal😂
I don’t feel sad for the pelosi’s after all of the hell they put people through, that’s karma right there.
False Flag, anyone?
They seriously want you to believe that there was NO security at the house? 🤡
Well a flag may have been involved…
HMMMM all of a sudden there are police, gov’t agencies all over ‘looking for justice’ Hmmmm Nancy I thought you had a good local police force…LMAOOO Cant you just go down to the local cop shop?????LMAOOO Like the rest of us have too??????? K A R M A , lmaoooo
Couldn’t of happened to nicer people.
Other than lessons on how to swing a hammer, I see nothing wrong here.
This is whole thing is weird. Someone obviously didn’t like Paul when he was drunk or it was a deal gone bad.
Sounds like a kook. Probably watched Fox News too much.
Geez. A the comments about this poor old defenseless guy. I feel the same way about the POTUS….
Join the rest of us in the SF Bay Area where crime and lawlessness is rampant, and we don’t have the FBI, Capitol Police, the FBI, or the rights to arm ourselves for protection. Happens to us regular people everyday. .
