+1 It would be an absolutely horrific assault for anyone and especially for an elderly person, regardless of the person's health. I truly can't imagine and hope he really will be able to recover.

Whether or not it was a Proud Boy or a homeless drug addict who assaulted Pelosi, the assault itself is a force multiplier. The assault will give pause to all sorts of Democrats in Congress who think, if this could happen in a Democratic Speaker's home, then what could happen to any of us. You'll get Democrat representatives being less aggressive in Congress, Democrats less willing to run for Congress, Democrats less willing to volunteer for political campaigns, and Democrats less willing to vote.

The cost to political participation then for Democrats will be higher than for Republicans, who are far less likely to face any of these things. Yes, Steve Scalise says hi, but the one crazy person going after him is the exception that proves the rule.

I just saw a reporter tweet that the person used a hammer.

The break-in and assault is being jointly investigated by the SF Police, Capitol Police and the FBI.

I'm shocked that someone made it in. Is the Speaker of the House's personal home not guarded 24/7 by Capitol Police? Does her immediate family not have security?

This is the person 3rd in line to the Presidency. The POTUS, VP, and Supreme Court justices + immediate family + their homes get round-the-clock security.

Someone f#cked up big time here.

Of course this seems politically motivated. How is that a stretch to go there? It is an assumption, for sure, but a pretty reasonable assumption. If proven false, and it's random violence, that will come out, but come on, of course people thing Speaker Pelosi was the likely target, just like a break-in at Mar-A-Lago wouldn't be considered random either.

It’s as is they were ready for this to happen. How about showing a bit of concern for Mr Pelosi?

I’ve heard many liberals saying this is maga violence

We have.
Meanwhile, the leftwings here are blaming the rightwing with no evidence whatsoever.

Occam’s Razor slices and dices this just fine, thanks. The most obvious suspect with be a violent maga loon.

I just hope that once the assailant is identified, the moderator doesn't "clean up" this thread by removing posts of people who are making huge assumptions.

I hope his attacker is treated exactly the same as every other criminal in that area who hurts someone. No better, no worse.

What, exactly, is going to get worse? Do you know the motive of the assailant?

You think it was random?
