US president attributes what happened to Republicans’ “lies” about alleged fraud in 2020 election
The hammer attack on Friday’s husband of Congress Speaker Nancy Pelosi by a Donald Trump supporter who broke into the couple’s home has infuriated Joe Biden. “Enough is enough!” the president cried at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania yesterday, in which he did not hesitate to blame the Republican party for “the lies” being spread about an alleged fraud in the 2020 election.
When Paul Pelosi, 82, was recovering at 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 malice,” he lamented. He also said the suspect in the attack, identified as David Depape, 42, chanted a slogan used during the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. “The song was, ‘Where’s Nancy? Where’s Nancy? Where’s Nancy?’” he said.
“Why do we think that the speech of a party that talks about ‘stolen elections’, that ‘Covid is a hoax’, will not affect people who may not be so balanced?” he asked. For this reason, he urged “all” Americans, regardless of their ideology, to “unequivocally” oppose political violence.
The suspect, who is in custody and will be charged with attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, theft and other crimes, is known as a defender of nudism and the group’s conspiracy theories, according to San Francisco police. QAnon. Authorities say there are a dozen blogs under his name with disjointed reflections on immigration, tech giants, aliens, communists, religious minorities, transsexuals, feminists, or “climate hysteria.” He also attributes the invasion of Ukraine to a “Jewish plot.”
