Speaker Pelosi arrived late on Friday in San Francisco
Speaker Pelosi was present in Washington at the time the event in California started. Late on Friday, she arrived in San Francisco, and she immediately went to the hospital to be with her husband who was receiving treatment.
The Speaker and her family are grateful for the outpouring of support and prayers from friends, constituents, and people around the country, the Pelosi office stated after the incident “. The whole medical staff who cared for Mr. Paul Pelosi as well as the law enforcement personnel who reacted to the assault are both greatly appreciated by the Pelosi family. The family is grateful for your consideration of their privacy at this time “It said in the statement.
In addition, William Scott, the San Francisco police chief, stated, “This was not a random act. This was planned. And it’s incorrect,” PTI said. US President Joe Biden also called the assault on Paul Pelosi “despicable.” Speaking at a Philadelphia Democratic rally, Biden said, “There is too much violence and hatred.” After Nancy Pelosi’s husband was assaulted on Friday, he said this.
Additionally, Biden emphasized the importance of speaking out against political violence. He said he had a conversation with Nancy Pelosi and helped arrange her trip to San Francisco.
