(147,253 posts)6. Well, we have very little reliable information on which to base
our opinions of the assailant, it seems to me. It appears likely that Nancy Pelosi was his target. I ask myself why that is the case, and the answer includes the possibility that the assailant was aware of her position as a successor to the presidency.
It's hardly a secret.

The media needs to stop calling this a "break in" or "attempted attack." It was a fucking assassination attempt!
