The man accused of attacking Paul Pelosi was on a “suicide mission” and also targeting “several prominent state and federal politicians,” according to the San Francisco District Attorney.
The officers who detained David DePape at the Pelosi residence asked him about why he had broken into the house looking for Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
According to a motion filed by the DA to keep him in prison, he told them: “I’m sick of the insane f—ing level of lies coming out of Washington D.C. I came here to have a little chat with his wife.
“I didn’t really want to hurt him but he knows this was a suicide mission. I’m not going to stand here and do nothing even if it costs me my life.
“Hurting him was not my goal, I told him before I attacked him that he’s escalating things.”
When cops asked what else he was planning, DePape, 42, told them he “cannot be stopped” and that “has other targets” including what the government document described as a local professor and several prominent state and federal politicians and their relatives.
