Former US President Trump and right-wing politicians have been inciting hatred against parliament speaker Nancy Pelosi for years. Then a man gains access to her house – and beats her husband.
The condition of the husband of US leader Nancy Pelosi, who was injured in an attack, is improving. The chairwoman of the House of Representatives announced this in a statement on Sunday night without further details. She called the attack life-threatening.
A 42-year-old man broke into the Pelosis’ home in San Francisco on Friday night and demanded to see the politician. The 82-year-old was not at home, but in Washington. When police arrived, the man struck her husband, Paul Pelosi, who was the same age, with a hammer. He required surgery for a fractured skull and serious injuries to his right arm and hands.
Nancy Pelosi is number three in the US political hierarchy after Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. The Democrat is guarded by bodyguards around the clock – but there is no protection for the families of prominent members of Congress.
