Maryland Governor Larry Hogan has responded via social media on the attack that occurred this morning against Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi. “The First Lady and I are praying for Paul Pelosi’s recovery after the vicious assault on his life. There is absolutely no place for violence in our politics. Anyone who calls themselves a leader must show zero tolerance for it.”
This morning, Drew Hammill, spokesman for Speaker Nancy Pelosi, issued this statement: “Early this morning, an assailant broke into the Pelosi residence in San Francisco and violently assaulted Mr. Pelosi. The assailant is in custody and the motivation for the attack is under investigation. Mr. Pelosi was taken to the hospital, where he is receiving excellent medical care and is expected to make a full recovery. The Speaker was not in San Francisco at the time.
The Speaker and her family are grateful to the first responders and medical professionals involved, and request privacy at this time.”
