Paul Pelosi, husband of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, has been attacked and badly beaten by an assailant with a hammer.
The intruder broke into the San Francisco home Mr Pelosi shares with his wife in the early hours of Friday.
According to AP, the intruder was searching for the Democratic leader, shouting “Where is Nancy, where is Nancy?” before assaulting Paul Pelosi with a hammer.

When the police arrived, the assailant reportedly said he was “waiting for Nancy.”
Sky news reports: Mr Pelosi, 82, is in hospital, where he is “receiving excellent medical care and is expected to make a full recovery”, according to spokesman Drew Hammill.
“The speaker and her family are grateful to the first responders and medical professionals involved, and request privacy at this time,” Mr Hammill added.
The attacker has been arrested and, although it is thought the home was targeted, the motive behind the attack is unclear.
It is not known how the intruder entered the house.
It comes as concerns grow about the safety of members of Congress and their families, with threats to politicians at an all-time high.
NBC reported that Mr Pelosi did not have his own security detail, as spouses are not eligible for this sort of protection.
The House Sergeant at Arms created a residential security programme, however, which allows security measures up to a cost of $10,000 at the home of a House member.
The programme began in August and was up and running, the news outlet said.
Mrs Pelosi, the Democratic speaker of the US House of Representatives, and second-in-line to the presidency, was in Washington DC at the time, having recently returned from a security summit in Europe.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement: “What happened to Paul Pelosi was a dastardly act.
“I spoke with Speaker Pelosi earlier this morning and conveyed my deepest concern and heartfelt wishes to her husband and their family, and I wish him a speedy recovery.”

Give the intruder a Medal! But he should have finished off her husband while he had the chance
HATE SPEECH=jail time dip smit
Read the constitution, all speech is protected by the bill of rights. But of course, you do not believe in freedom or liberty do you numbnuts?
Hate speech is NOT dump head.PAUL Had the right to blow the dirt bags head off and he should have used that right dirt bag!
Wrong as usual. Are you off your meds? I see the prescriptions on your facebook page.
DEADLY FORCE WAS WELL WITHIN HIS RIGHTS&NEXT TIME HE WILL USE IT and so will the cops DIRT BAG LOONEY
The Pelosi klan does not believe in owning firearms. You should troll less and read more. I feel sorry for you. I know you have a terrible life. I bet it is painful to forever be stuck with an adolescent mentality. You are very worked up over this. All I am here is to do is cause you more distress. You are a truly terrible person. But, your monosyllabic retorts are hilarious.
Masks are dumb and from the 1980`s DD.I`am sure they are at the Hand gun class right now blasting away on the range under their house with their 357 mags and 44 longs.Go see your buddy in cell 666 4 ever than he needs a friend like YOU!!!

DEATH THREAT unprotected speech
Timing is everything. A stage event right before the election. The dems will commit several hoaxs over the next week.
Just watch as the news media starts parroting the word domestic terrorist.
I have to agree. the sympathy vote. if it was a real attacker, his brains would be hamburger.
the attack might very well be real. The police arrived “just in time” they responded to a request for a wellness check, News media already calling the attacker a “right wing extremist”.
You gotta love the parrots who call themselves journalists. there is no domestic terrorism. but there is the CIA.
The powers that be would have no problem sacrificing one of their own for the cause is my point.

All that money at his age and no personal security detail?
Go back home to dicky munch at 13 13 mockingbird Lane grandpa.
We moved from that house years ago after Grandpa ate a steak. BTW, sit and spin troll.
Nancy is that you? Look everyone, the house drinker is commenting here!
That’s the interesting part – it was described not as the police responding to an intruder etc., but responding to a “wellness check”, I think that is key.
Also, convenient that the police arrived just at the moment when Paul and the assailant were allegedly both holding the hammer, then the assailant broke it free from Paul and attacked him in front of the cops as witnesses.
Also, I heard Paul was in brain surgery, but this article said he is fine and expected to make a full recovery. Which is it?
What you can take to the bank (no matter the actual facts), the Democrats and the MSM are going to elude to or even outright say, “If you don’t vote Democrat it means you support this attacker”.
I read police responded to wellness check. but regardless, they showed up just in time to see them fighting over a hammer. what are the odds? the kind of thing that only happens in movies and in a staged event by the Pelosi crime family.
Why someone with so much money at their age wouldn’t have armed security personnel is mystifying.

The dirt bag should have got his HEAD BLOWN OFF by PAUL and or the cops!!!!! than he would have that dent in his head just some blood on his carpet
Paul had the right to use deadly force as in a fire arm he should have blown his head off and I`am sure the next time he will
Exactly They couldn’t have arrived then any sooner than at least 5 minutes after the allegedcassaialabtbarrived do ots b/sAs if anyone who knew their address and could bypass their security would know perfectly well not to hang around waking for Nancy to come home Absolute totally I believable crap. Shoes just how stupid they know most of the world’s public are And people will be talking about it now as if it was real. They believe it Like they believe in Santa. Just morons. And they let them vote.
