This is really disturbing, I can't imagine what would have happened if Nancy had been home.

I read in another article that because the Speaker wasn't home, the usual protective detail wasn't there so I imagine if she had been home, this would have likely been thwarted or not even attempted due to increased security.

CNN is saying he was attacked with a hammer. They are also saying her security detail doesn’t extend to family members. How scary.

[pixy0stix]

This is awful.

[Velar Fricative]

How terrible. I’m glad he’s expected to make a full recovery.

I wonder if they will now, like how Obama and family got protection earlier than candidates normally do.

😿 I’ve got emojis or profanity in my skill set right now. Unbelievable but yet not. Fucking MAGAts.

[penguingrrl]

That’s beyond awful. I hope he makes a speedy recovery.

I’m shocked that her husband doesn’t get at least minimal security given how high profile she is.

[Velar Fricative]

I was trying to not jump to conclusions that this definitely was political motivated but the NYT just reported the intruder was shouting “where is Nancy?” Fucking MAGA shitheads indeed. Like we expected this to stop after 1/6.

[Poeticxpassion]

Omg. This is horrible.

[cattledogkisses]

What a miracle that he had a hammer and not a gun. Jesus.

I'm glad her husband will make a full recovery. I can't imagine how terrifying this is for both of them.

[pinkdutchtulips]

I’m in the SF Bay Area … this is scary especially the fact that Speaker Pelosi was the target. It’s brazen crime. Thankfully they have a suspect in custody. How delusional do you have to be to 1- wander around the residence yelling ‘where’s Nancy?’ 2- assault and restrain Speaker Pelosi’s husband until ‘Nancy gets back’ ?!?

[mrsukyankee]

The responses I've seen by some Republicans is outright disgusting. I'm horrified by them. This is an attack where someone got hurt - I don't care what you think of NP, it's not right to say it's justified.

[underwaterrhymes]

These people are terrorists.

[erbear]

I am actually floored by this. Pelosi is third in line to the presidency. This is a big fucking deal. Why isn’t there instant condemnation?? (Rhetorical question, obvs)

They are actually turning it into a political point. “Crime is everywhere. Dem policies caused this. No one is safe”. Fuckers.

[omgzombies]

Cracking jokes counts as condemnation, right?

The latest GQP attempt to spin this story is that the assailant is Paul's secret lover.

There is no end to how low they go.

You know the assailant has to be SO pissed about that.

These are people who believe there's a pizza basement pedophile ring with sacrifices to the devil. A secret gay lover is almost tame (and probably another example of projection)

They always have to stick a homophobic spin, don’t they? Part of spinning the gay community as enemies, which is sickening.

But come on guys - it's unfair to blame the Republicans for this. Insert eye roll so hard it gave me a headache.

The "assassination attempt against Brett Kavanaugh".  You mean the guy that was on his STREET and called the cops on himself before actually doing anything?  

I'm not saying that what that guy did was a-ok, but it's a stretch to call it an assassination attempt.

The more that comes out, the shittier these conservatives look in how they tried to deflect with lies.
