David DePape, the suspect accused of attacking Paul Pelosi with a hammer, made a chilling jailhouse phone call to a news station, revealing disturbing plans to “get” people he believes were behind the suppression of individual liberties.
DePape called KTVU on Friday, the same day that police body camera footage was released to the public showing DePape confronted by officers while wielding a hammer and, moments later, appearing to swing it at Pelosi’s head.
At the top of the call, DePape said he had seen the newly released video and had an “important message for everyone in America.”
“You’re welcome,” he said, making clear he doesn’t regret his actions, which left Pelosi seriously injured with a skull fracture.
DePape then said that “freedom and liberty isn’t dying, it’s being killed systematically and deliberately,” and that the “people killing it have names and addresses,” which he obtained so that he could “pay them a little visit” in order to have a “heart to heart chat about their bad behavior.”
He then offered an apology—but not for the attack.
“I want to apologize to everyone. I messed up. What I did was really bad. I’m so sorry I didn’t get more of them. It’s my own fault. No one else is to blame. I should have come better prepared,” he said.
DePape said he spent all his time exposing what he described as government corruption but that he was silenced by Big Tech at the behest of the government, which he claimed “outsources” the repression of free speech to the private industry.
“It’s called fascism,” he said. While he didn’t go into specifics, he said he had a website with over 300 pages of materials that he claimed had been censored.
He added he has “a lot more to say” and that he’s trying to set up a new website that’s “out of the reach of tyrannical global fascists and their internet censors.”
DePape’s disturbing remarks came after a San Francisco judge ordered that evidence relating to the attack on Paul Pelosi must be released to the public, including police body camera footage.
The 42-year-old DePape faces state and federal charges including attempted murder for the Oct.
