SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA: Nancy Pelosi experienced a horrible day on October 28 when trespasser David DePape attacked her husband Paul. Numerous well-known figures, like Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump, have questioned the attack and propagated misleading information about it. Pelosi, the speaker of the US House of Representatives, has finally taken responsibility and condemned Musk for spreading false information about the assault, dubbing the new Twitter owner as "destructive."

"It's really sad for the country that people of that high visibilty would separate themselves from the facts and the truth in such a blatant way," Pelosi said in an interview with CNN on Monday, November 7, in reference to Musk and Trump spreading false information about the attack on her husband. Musk had shared an execrable tweet that he later deleted, hinting that there might be more to the incident than it looks, using a link to a fringe website with an explicit headline about Paul and his attacker.
