that left the husband of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband injured highlighted the dangers of political leaders and their families face everyday, while the leaders are in office.According to Associated Press sources, the intruder, since identified by police as 42-year-old David DePape, shouted "Where is Nancy?" before the assault. The Associated Press reported the San Francisco home was specifically targeted, according to people familiar with the matter.
Paul Pelosi suffered a fractured skull and "serious injuries to his right arm and hands," according to Drew Hammill, spokesman for the House speaker. "This kind of thing, of taking the law into your own hands and attacking somebody because you disagree with them on something is just unacceptable," said former Arizona Congressman Jim Kolbe."We had town halls where we had to have security because we had threats that were given to us, but it's gotten progressively worse, I think, in the years since that time because the country has become so much more polarized," said Kolbe.
