Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), made his first public appearance Sunday at the Kennedy Center Honors since being violently attacked at the couple’s San Francisco home in October.
. Pelosi also suffered from “serious injuries to his right arm and hands,” according to the speaker’s office.faces several state and federal charges related to the attack, including attempted murder, attempted kidnapping and assault with a deadly weapon. According to court documents, the 42-year-old told police he was on a “suicide mission” and was targeting a number of state and federal politicians to combat “lies” coming out of Washington.
Last month, the speaker said that her decision not to seek leadership in the Democratic Party during the next congressional session was in part due to the attack. She said she felt guilty that she was the intruder’s focus yet her husband endured the attacks. In her speech last month announcing her decision to step down from leadership, Pelosi thanked her husband, calling him “my pillar of support,” and said she was grateful for “all of the prayers and well wishes as he continues his recovery.”. The emotional trauma of the incident had left a deep mark on the entire family, Pelosi said.
“If he had fallen, slipped on the ice or was in an accident and hurt his head, it would be horrible, but to have it be an assault on him because they were looking for me is really — they call it ‘survivor’s guilt’ or something,” she said in her most detailed comments following the incident. “But the traumatic effect on him, this happened in our house.
“If your spouse were in a situation where other people would make a joke of it, think it was funny, be collecting money for bail for the perpetrator, putting out a conspiracy theory about what it was about — it’s so horrible to think the Republican Party has come down to this, and no real rejection of it by anybody in the party,” she said. “It’s so sad for our country.”
