The harrowing incident occurred just hours earlier at the Pelosi home in San Francisco.

Police said a man broke into the home and assaulted Paul Pelosi with a hammer. Before the attack, the intruder confronted the speakers husband, saying, Where is Nancy, where is Nancy? according to a source briefed on the assault.

The speaker wasnt there at the time. Paul Pelosi was taken to a hospital with blunt-force trauma and is expected to make a full recovery.

The motive for the attack is still under investigation. Online blogs that appear to belong to the man who attacked Paul Pelosi show numerous extremist and anti-government posts, including ones about pedophilia and election fraud.

Virginia Democrats called Youngkins comments absolutely disgusting and unbecoming.

The Speakers husband was brutally attacked and currently fighting for his life and Youngkin is making jokes, the state party added in its tweet.
