Paul Pelosi Attacker Calls In to TV Station to 'Apologize' for Not Going Far Enough [View all]

David DePape, the man who allegedly attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer in October, called in to a California news station on Friday to “apologize” for not going far enough with his attack.

DePape, who allegedly broke into the Pelosi home and attacked the then-House speaker’s husband, told KTVU he had an “important message” to share during a five-and-a-half minute phone call.

He said he attacked Pelosi because “liberty isn’t dying, it’s being killed systematically and deliberately.”

The “people killing it have names and addresses, so I got their names and addresses so I could pay them a little visit . . . have a heart to heart chat about their bad behavior,” said DePape, who faces state charges of attempted murder and elder abuse and federal charges for kidnapping.

The freedom to beat others over the head with a hammer?

I apologize for using the National Review but right-wing media seems to be the only thing covering this story.

Looks like DePape has probably screwed himself with this call.
