Former President Donald Trump drew laughs from California Republicans on Friday after he ripped Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and mocked her husband, Paul Pelosi, over a brutal hammer attack against him.
“We’ll stand up to crazy Nancy Pelosi, who ruined San Francisco. How’s her husband doing, by the way, anybody know?” said Trump in remarks at a California GOP convention.
“And she’s against building a wall at our border even though she has a wall around her house, which obviously didn’t do a very good job.”
Trump was referring to the attack that left Paul Pelosi with serious injuries after a man entered the Pelosis’ San Francisco home in an alleged attempt to kidnap the now-former House speaker in October 2022.
The suspect, David DePape, has pleaded not guilty to charges related to the attack, including attempted murder.
DePape had an interest in far-right politics in recent years and had appeared to share hateful rants online, according to multiple news reports.
Social media users on X (formerly Twitter) blasted the former president for his “disgusting” dig at Paul Pelosi and knocked the GOP audience for laughing at his comments.
