The US president attributes what happened to “the lies” of the Republicans about the alleged fraud in the 2020 elections
The hammer attack on the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday at the hands of a Donald Trump supporter who broke into the couple’s home has angered Joe Biden. “Enough is enough!” The president cried out yesterday at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania in which he did not hesitate to blame what happened on the Republican Party for “the lies” spread about an alleged fraud in the elections held in 2020.
As Paul Pelosi, 82, recovered in a San Francisco hospital from surgery for a skull fracture and injuries to his arm and hand, Biden expressed his strong condemnation of this “despicable” act. “There is too much violence, hatred, and virulence,” he lamented. Likewise, he detailed that the suspect in the attack, identified as David Depape, 42, sang a slogan that was used during the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. “The chant was, ‘Where is Nancy? Where is Nancy? Where’s Nancy?’” he stated.
“What makes us think that the speech of a party that speaks of ‘stolen elections’, that ‘Covid is a hoax’, will not affect people who may not be so well balanced?” he asked. For this reason, he urged “all” Americans, regardless of their ideology, to oppose “unambiguously” political violence.
The suspect, who is in custody and will be charged with attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, robbery and other crimes, according to the San Franscico Police, is known for being a defender of nudism and the group’s conspiracy theories. far-right QAnon. According to the authorities, in his name there are a dozen blogs that contain incoherent reflections on immigration, technological giants, aliens, communists, religious minorities, transsexuals, feminists or “climate hysteria”. He also attributes the invasion of Ukraine to a “Jewish plot”.
