Megyn Kelly and Senator Tom Cotton ripped into the limited reporting that surrounds the Paul Pelosi attack. The husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was attacked by a deranged man wielding a hammer in their San Fransisco mansion. The details around the attack all see really confusing and hairy. Kellu called for SFPD to release more noting that she knows ‘enough to smell a rat’.
Cotton called for the San Francisco police department to release as much information as possible about the attack including police body camera footage, the 911 call from Pelosi, and security camera footage from inside their home.
“So I think the San Francisco Police Department would be well served. It would help everyone just to put out all that information,” Cotton said. He added, “In the meantime, I wish Paul Pelosi all the best in recovering from this terrible crime, a crime that we see too much of all across America today because of soft-on-crime policies and failures to put mentally ill people into institutions where they can get the care they need.” he added.
Kelly agreed with Cotton and added that she believes the police department looks foolish.
“I feel like at a minimum, the SFPD has egg on its face because even under the most generous story to Paul Pelosi and to the San Francisco police, they were in the house when this guy attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer,” Kelly said. She added, “I’m not sure how that happened. How do you have police officers on site and an 82-year-old gets attacked with a hammer in front of you when you have a gun as a police officer? It’s one of the many questions here. As you point out, there are security cameras all over that house. You can see them from the outside where they turned on. If not, why not? She’s the Speaker of the House.”
“Far less known public figures than Nancy Pelosi have taken extra security measures in and around San Francisco, given how high the crime rate is there, it would be insane for them not to have their cameras on,” Kelly continued.
Kelly concurred with Cotton that the bodycam footage should be released.
“Let’s see it,” Kelly said. “Let’s see it all. I don’t know what went on. I know enough to smell a rat. There’s something going on here that they’re not telling us. I just don’t know what it is.”

I read the report and it doesn’t clear up the question about who answered the door at the Pelosi home while Pelosi was in a full-blown battle with his attacker.
