The home of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and her husband Paul Pelosi, was “specifically targeted” and not a random attack.

“The attack was not random; the assailant specifically targeted the home,” The Washington Post, citing Associated Press sources, reports. Paul Pelosi was “attacked and severely beaten by an assailant with a hammer,” and “suffered blunt force injuries to his head and body.”
Reuters notes that “In January 2021, her home was vandalized with graffiti saying ‘Cancel rent’ and ‘We want everything’ painted on the house and a pig’s head left in front of the garage, according to media reports.”
The FBI is on the scene investigating, KRON4 reports.
