It’s crazy to me that each time something happens, both sides start pointing fingers rather than addressing the real issue. California has a drug problem and Paul Pelosi’s attacker was a notorious addict with clear mental health issues. Another avoidable factor that I see is that the attacker was in the US illegally on an expired visa from Canada. Immigration—Another major problem in California.
Sources closest to the attacker described him as an extreme leftist while the media claims the attack was the result of ‘Republican rhetoric’. The bottom line is, we don’t know what was in his head. I can’t imagine any sane person breaking into someone’s home to attack them with a hammer.
Far be it for the gals on ‘The View’ to rise above the root issues and call out politicians for mismanaging laws that could have prevented this attack in the first place. No. Instead, they joined their liberal counterparts and declared that the GOP and Fox News has blood ‘on their hands’.
The View host Sara Haine likened the attack to what happened to Gabby Gifford, “that was a change for this one Republican strategist, Doug Heye, who after – he used to be part of a fire Pelosi campaign. And after the Gabby Giffords incident, he said enough is enough. And he is quoted as saying, “Any time there’s any political violence or the threat of it, the ultra-partisans go into other side mode. My side’s good, your side’s bad.”
In the Tucson metropolitan area back in 2011, Giffords and 18 others were shot during a constituent meeting held in a supermarket parking lot in Casas Adobes, Arizona. Six people were killed, including federal District Court Chief Judge John Roll; Gabe Zimmerman, one of Giffords’s staffers; and a 9-year-old girl, Christina-Taylor Green.
Of course, the gals blamed the GOP, because why not?
Whoopi Goldberg is interupted to blame the conservative news outlet, “Hey, Fox News some of this is on your hands. Some of this is on your hands. You like to call people out. Well, I’m calling you all out, stop with “that side is not good.” This is what it puts out there. It tells people that you think it’s okay to do this. Stop doing it. We’ll be right back.”
David DePape, 42, faces a slew of felony charges in relation to the attack, which required Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, to undergo surgery to repair a skull fracture in addition to other injuries.
District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced the charges – including attempted murder, residential burglary, assault with a deadly weapon and elder abuse, among others – during a news conference Monday.
Jenkins said DePape broke into the Pelosis’ residence through a rear glass door and entered a bedroom where Paul Pelosi was sleeping. Paul Pelosi tried to use a phone in the couple’s in-home elevator, but according to Jenkins, DePape blocked him from doing so.
All reports claim that Paul Pelosi is recovering nicely given the severity of the attack. He did have to undergo surgery to repair a skull fracture
