Trump Mocks Nancy Pelosi’s Husband, Paul, After Brutal Hammer Attack As Crowd Cheers

On Friday, former President Donald Trump mocked House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-California) and her husband in the wake of a brutal attack in the family’s home last October.

Nancy’s husband Paul Pelosis skull was fractured in the attack where an assailant had beat him with a hammer.

Trump had previously responded publicly to the attack with trademark far-right conspiracies and called the attack a “sad situation.”

At a state party convention of California Republicans, Trump said, “We’ll stand up to crazy Nancy Pelosi, who ruined San Francisco — how’s her husband doing, anybody know? And she’s against building a wall at our border, even though she has a wall around her house — which obviously didn’t do a very good job.”

Republicans cheered Trump as he rattled off attacks on several of California state’s most prominent progressive Democrats.

Notably absent from Trump’s speech was any mention of the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a Democratic trailblazer and champion of women’s rights and gun control, who died Thursday night at age 90.

He instead bashed other prominent California Democrats, which included Vice President Kamala Harris, Rep. Adam Schiff, who led Trump’s first impeachment in the House, Rep. Eric Swalwell and Rep. Maxine Waters, who Trump said would give him “an electric chair times 15.”

Trump gave a mixed review of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom. He stated they “got along,” but he didn’t like Newsom’s positions. Trump insinuated that Newsom’s support for Biden was under the pretext that Biden would not “make it.” He added, “Gavin has become crooked Joe Biden’s top surrogate.”

Trump’s enthusiastic support in California poses a threat to his Republican competitors. Trump was absent at this weekend’s meeting of the state’s Republican Party in Anaheim, where Gov. Ron DeSantis (Florida), Sen. Tim Scott (South Carolina) and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy roasted Biden and Trump in their speeches.

Although California is a historically blue state, it has the most delegates to next year’s Republican National Convention.
