David DePape, accused of breaking into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s home and assaulting her husband with a hammer, allegedly told police he was on a “suicide mission” and had a target list of politicians as part of his effort to combat “lies.”

David Wayne DePape, 42, was arraigned Tuesday afternoon in San Francisco County Superior Court, where he faced several state charges related to the attack on Paul Pelosi, including attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, residential burglary, false imprisonment and threatening the life of or serious bodily harm to a public official.

When Paul Pelosi “agreed,” DePape “responded ‘They are all corrupt’ and ‘We’ve got to take them out,’ ” the filing says. The dispatcher told Paul Pelosi that he was calling the San Francisco police. Paul Pelosi said he understood. “This gentleman just came into the house, and he wants to wait for my wife to come home,” Paul Pelosi told the 911 operator, according to the court document.When the dispatcher asked Pelosi if he knew the man, Pelosi said he did not and said the man was telling him to get off the phone. Paul Pelosi gave the operator his name and address.

“I didn’t really want to hurt him, but you know this was a suicide mission. I am not going to stand here and do nothing even if it cost me my life ... I will go through him if I have to.”

Lots of questionable stuff happening in the Bay Area. Since 1977 ...er, 1965.

Well never have a clean election again the trump cult will make sure they'll only count if they win

This is the weirdest story..let him use the bathroom, let him call for help, gave him his name and then attacked him ?

Bodycam footage and security camera footage would dispel alot of the rumours. Also a narrative that made sense would also help. Also excluding certain press cameras from the court room? Yeah facist style take over. Since when do you ban press from a court room?

Thats the second time in 3 months that Pelosi has been on the news getting hammered

So he was about to release some information about she who should not be named?

Uncalled for brutal attack on the Speaker of the House aside, that's the smuggest stoner RBF I've seen in a long time. He's literally sniffing his upper lip.

FYI…..if our government officials enforced their own immigration laws, this guy would have not been here to play hide the hammer with Paul

So was he carrying a list of every Democrat politician?

elenitahumana Something doesn't compute here. If it was a suicide mission and he had a list of targets, how many times did he expect to commit suicide attacks?

I hope he had a lot of Dems on the list because that's all they do is lie

But why did Paul know his name and why was he only wearing underwear?

We should get the facts . Still very odd .

And then he yelled “this is MAGA country”. Oakland/San Francisco homeless community has been radicalized by January 6th!

DA sqys no video of Pelosis home. Capitol police had a live feed of Pelosi's home. They werent watching it... nope, no misinformation here.

This story changes by the minute?

Wait a minute, Former President of Russia Medvedev has something to say about Pelosi. I think he is saying that Ukraine will win and that we should be giving billions of more dollars to Ukraine. NAFO TheView TheSun ABCWorldNews OANN FoxBusiness

O, the WashPost? Never mind.

If he's actually on suicide mission. How old is Nancy Pelosi's husband that a young man on suicide mission couldn't k*ll in just a blow . It's a staged invasion.

MAGA terrorist. Not surprising he was on a suicide mission.

Is this the illegal immigrant that attacked him?

Oh ok! The police have changed the story so much and now we are suppose to believe this! 🤦🏼‍♀️

I can't figure out how an illegal alien can be held without bail in a sanctuary city. Must be because he attacked someone with political power.

Hammer time. Do we know if he came in Pelosi's back door?

Didn't the guy who went to Brett Kavanaugh's house say something similar ? He was from California too.

Police officers shoot people for holding a screwdriver, scissors etc. less then a hammer . I would think Police would have shot DePape for swinging a hammer at Pelosi

Sure. Sure he did. Release the body cam footage.

He’s a kook

I have lots of questions, bring out the body cam and security cam footage and prove the gossip wrong

MAGA has spent years spewing hate and vitriol with the hopes that something like this would happen. That one of their radicalized would be in proximity to one of their perceived enemies and do their dirty work. A terrorist network.

Was he not in vegan comune?

What were the lies? If one were to claim this was a political attack, we need to know what lies he was talking about.

I wonder how many on the HIT list were Republicans?
