“There’s too much violence – political violence – too much hatred, too much vitriol,” Biden said shortly after the attack. Glenn Youngkin, the Republican governor of Virginia, joked at a campaign event that voters would “send [Nancy Pelosi] back to be with him in California”. Last June, a man carrying a gun was arrested outside the home of the supreme court justice Brett Kavanaugh after threatening to kill him. In court testimony last month, a San Francisco police investigator recounted how DePape claimed there was “evil in Washington” and described his initial plans to kidnap the House speaker. Pelosi, 82, suffered a skull fracture and injuries to his hand and arm in the attack, requiring him to undergo surgery. But he says “Nope”, then manages to grab it and swing it and, just off camera, hits Pelosi in the head.

Police release video of Paul Pelosi attack, suspect's confession (Los Angeles Times)

A graphic video showing the October attack on Paul Pelosi, husband of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was released Friday by a San Francisco court.

Paul Pelosi asked DePape how the two could “resolve” the situation, he said. DePape said he was so tired from breaking into the house and from carrying a heavy backpack full of supplies, that he just wanted to tie Paul Pelosi up and go to sleep. Paul Pelosi then called 911, with DePape standing next to him the whole time. I’m here for the fight,” he continued. He said the effort caused him to get “pretty winded” at one point.

In a 17-minute clip of the interview, DePape offered unsparing detail to San Francisco Police Sgt. “I’ve got a problem, but he thinks everything is good.” The evidence the court released is limited to material that was submitted during a December hearing.
