House Speaker Nancy Pelosi thanked her husband Paul's caregivers and well-wishers in her first spoken public comments following the attack at their San Francisco home.
"Paul came home yesterday. That enables me to be at home with all of you. Thank you, thank you, thank you for kind words, your prayers and your good wishes for Paul," she said."It's just so tragic how it happened but, nonetheless, we have to be optimistic. He's surrounded by family so that's a wonderful thing.
"There is no question that our democracy is on the ballot. We see that. You know that," Pelosi said."There is no question our planet is on the ballot. That is so clear. They called it a hoax. But it is scientifically, significantly, a challenge to us all. And our values are on the ballot. But you know all of that. You know why this election is important."
San Francisco police said David DePape confronted Paul Pelosi in the family's Pacific Heights home on Oct. 28 and demanded to know where the House Speaker was. DePape pleaded not guilty to state charges on Tuesday and was ordered held without bail. His public defender, Adam Lipson, said he looks forward to providing him with a"vigorous legal defense."
