  1. I guess next they're going to ban hammers

  2. Up to 50 years!! That’s gotta hurt!! Republicans are a bunch of cry babies in a CULT of dumbasses. Join in!!

  3. Rand Paul's attacker originally got 30 days, then 6 months.

  4. Trump, Fox News & Republicans spread hate, violence, fear and lies.

    So many Americans like J6 rioters are in jail because of GOP and FOX News.

  5. THAT CRIMINAL FREAK DESERVES LIFE IN PRISON, YOUR WRONG, STOP SPEWING LIES! HE IS GETTING LOCKED UP! JUST LIKE TRUMP WILL! MAGA IS NOTHING MORE THAN TRAITORS!

  6. "build back better" Nanssi Mace Pellossi

  7. What kind of sentence will he be looking at?

  8. I thought Ben's how that hammer fight was actually a domestic Coral that they would end up going through some kind of citizen dispute counseling. Is Paul pelosi actually pressing charges against his lover?

  9. Want to watch a video I think that's Paul's secret lover when Nancy is not around and he was waiting to get rid of her

  10. They get rich on insider trading and have multiple million dollar homes.. lol n i cant afford my own house.. glad karma went at him with a hammer 🔨 #Pelosi crooked af ruining this country..

  11. It all appeared causal and consensual until the police showed up.

  12. DRUG DEAL GONE BAD. OR BJ GONE BAD

  13. Whenever I think of the least intelligent people I automatically think of the media.

  14. Sounds like he had a conspiracy with Trump.

  15. Did the defendant cross state lines with intent to commit this crime? That would also make it a federal crime. If anyone talked to him about it it could turn into a conspiracy

  16. It's good to see Democrats victimized by their own policies

    It's a shame they won't learn anything from it

  17. David DePape for President in 2024

  18. Police was at the door when he hit him with hammer so can Police be a witness

  19. Prosecute DePape to the fullest extent of the law.

  20. His excuse was he was watching too much utube.
    I wonder how many trump rallies he went too. Seems the type.

  21. ' WEINERGATE '……😆

  22. But Nancy Pelosi this news agency and a few others say the hammer commits the crime gun commits the crime why are we putting a man on trial if it's the weapon that commits the crime

  23. Awh… dang it judge, I didn't mean 'em no harm, we was just funnin.

  24. Life for attempted murder

  25. He pulled a Kyle Rittenhouse, but unlike that kid, he won't get sympathy, he's toast.

  26. Did not mean to hurt anyone , he just broke into someones home and attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer. Hedid enter the home looking for Nancy Pelosi.
    I know people have a right to an offence but come on , the guy is guilty.

  27. Is it public information who is paying for this perpetrators legal defense😮

  28. That's what's wrong with America the news takes the side of the perpetrator the criminal this man broke in their home, this man attacked Mr pelosi, this man announced his intentions of hurting Nancy Pelosi do not defend the criminal in the news😮 Trump followers are loyal I need to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. You should be asking why was he not charged with attempted murder😮

  29. What a nice photo of them as a couple. Much more pleasant than the ugly faces Donald Trump makes for the courtroom cameras.

  30. So homeboy fell deep into the rabbit hole, took it serious and learned the hard way

  31. bring back the Electric Chair.

  32. The prosti attacked paying customer pelosi

  33. If Paul Pelosi wasn't married to Nancy Pelosi he would not have been attacked. Case closed. It was not a random attack on a stranger. Mr DePape had a purpose behind his actions and motivation in his mind before he left his house.

  34. Who opened the door? Cause he was holding the hammer and Paul and that thing magically opened…..

  35. He just wanted stock tips.. 😢

  36. Fight MAGA extremism: VOTE BLUE or you won't have a country left.

  37. What color was he? (Although I am not sure whether they identify as a man).
