- On October 28, 2022, an assailant attacked Paul Pelosi, the husband of U.S. Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, with a hammer during a home invasion at the couple's residence in Pacific Heights, San Francisco. Pelosi was seriously injured and underwent surgery for a fractured skull. David DePape, a 42-year-old Canadian citizen, was arrested at the scene. He reportedly planned to take Speaker Pelosi hostage and interrogate her. State prosecutors believe the attack to be politically motivated. DePape had a history of mental health issues and drug abuse; prior to the attack, he had embraced various far-right conspiracy theories, including QAnon, Pizzagate, and Donald Trump's false claims of a stolen election in 2020. Online, he made conspiratorial, racist, sexist, and antisemitic posts, and pushed COVID-19 vaccine misinformation. His blog also contained delusional thoughts. On October 31, DePape was charged with two federal crimes: assault of an immediate family member of a federal official with the intent to retaliate against the official on account of the performance of official duties; and attempted kidnapping of a federal official on account of the performance of official duties. He was also charged with six state felonies, including attempted murder, residential burglary, and assault with a deadly weapon. Within days, prominent right-wing figures including former president Donald Trump shared disinformation and misinformation about the attack, casting doubt on the assailant's motives and claiming that the attack was a false flag operation.
