From randos on social media, to elected officials, it's quite disgusting and disappointing that they can't just say well wishes and keep their mouths closed when the garbage tries to come out. Even disingenuous thoughts and prayers are better than this nastiness. It's also disconcerting to think that this is them being restrained and respectful (or their version of it) in the immediate aftermath, and that it's probably going to escalate.

I’m glad he will recover fully, but a hammer is a pretty heavy blunt instrument and when hit in the head with it, even a small blow will do serious damage. Was he taken into surgery with a broken skull, etc?

I’d like more details.

He’s undergoing brain surgery now, yes.

Will he make a full recovery?

I think you will have to await a statement from the medical team. He’s in his 80s and there has to be a concern about swelling and clotting leading to other long term health complications.

I think the media has been saying he will make a full recovery per the medical team.

The police showed up.

How did they know? I hear they were there very quickly

Given the fact that the GOP keeps trying to kill Nancy Pelosi, that house is probably alarmed to the gills.

If that's the case, this is really serious. Brain swelling has a high rate of fatality and permanent damage to cognition.

Poor Speaker Pelosi and her family going through this. What a nightmare.

Paul Pelosi is currently in brain surgery

What type of brain surgery? What are they repairing?

I read that Pelosi had the hammer, and this guy took it from him. Perhaps it was a small hammer that he was carrying at his age, though even these would be deadly. Or maybe the guy wielded it like a baseball bat.

So the guy came in unarmed?

Where is the rest of the GOP? This should be the tone coming from everyone on the Republican side.

Even he, retiring, has to both sides this, huh? I’m mad as hell that the GOP is fascist. I have never once called for, suggested or condoned violence against Republicans. I have never giggled about or made jokes about political violence. I have never voted for or financially supported any candidate who commit stochastic terrorism and I am sick to death of Republicans unable to come to terms with the fact that they are the ones raising the temperature.
