On Friday, an attacker broke into the San Francisco house of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and her husband Paul Pelosi. At the time of the attack, Nancy Pelosi was not home, but her husband told sources that the attacker was looking for the Speaker. The attack is one of many recent politically motivated violence, sparking a nationwide debate.
The Hill published a centrist article detailing the attack, reporting that the attacker was looking for Nancy Pelosi. It reported that the attacker shouted, “Where is Nancy? Where is Nancy?” according to a source briefed on the incident. The assailant, a 42-year-old man, attacked Paul Pelosi, 82, around 2 a.m. on Friday. The Hill noted that this incident was just the latest of a series of recent threats against lawmakers and political figures.
A left-leaning article by POLITICO highlighted that the attacker’s call during the break-in “Where is Nancy?” echoed the same calls to locate Nancy Pelosi during the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol in 2020. POLITICO reported that the recent incident has reignited conversations about how to address threats to lawmakers and how to protect political figures. It reported that lawmakers on both sides of the political spectrum have condemned the violence and expressed support to the family after the attack.
A right-leaning article by Fox News highlighted that the recent break-in at the Speaker’s house in California should be a “wake up call” for Democrats regarding the dangers of rising crime rates across the country, according to Fox News contributor Leo Terrell. He noted that because California recently did away with cash bail for those who cannot pay and are not a danger to the community, this allows “career criminals” to roam freely while awaiting trial.
