Paul Pelosi attacker makes a chilling call to a TV station: ‘I’m so sorry I didn’t get more of them’

Paul Pelosi’s attacker David DePape made a chilling phone call to a TV station saying he was ‘so sorry I didn’t get more of them.’ 

DePape, 42,  attacked Pelosi, 82, on October 28 around 2am with a hammer after police showed up at their door, bodycam footage showed. 

After the bodycam footage was released on Friday, the attacker called local station KTVU to tell viewers he had an ‘important message for everyone in America’ and proceeded to tell the audience: ‘You’re welcome [for the Pelosi attack].’ 

‘I want to apologize to everyone. I messed up. What I did was really bad. I’m so sorry I didn’t get more of them. It’s my own fault. No one else is to blame. I should have come better prepared,’ he continued. 

DePape originally told investigators that he planned to take former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi hostage. She was not in San Francisco at the time of the attack, but in Washington DC. 

DePape went on to say that ‘freedom and liberty isn’t dying, it’s being killed systematically and deliberatively.’

‘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,’ he told the station. 

He also said he spent ‘all my time exposing government corruption online, only to have them silenced by freedom of speech as quickly as they could.’ 

He went on to say that the ‘ruling class [has] outsourced the recession’ and are ‘fascists.’ 

DePape said he is setting up a new website that it ‘out of reach of tyrannical global fascists and their internet censors’ after his other site was ‘silenced.’ 

When police arrived at the door, Pelosi and DePape answered it. Pelosi was seen wearing his pajama shirt and underwear while DePape held the hammer in front of police 

After officers told him to put down the hammer, DePape told the officer: ‘Um, nope,’ before swinging the weapon at Pelosi 

Police immediately rushed in and tackled DePape while Pelosi laid on the floor 

As of December, DePape remained in a San Francisco jail after he pleaded not guilty to attempted murder, false imprisonment of an elder, threatening the family member of a public official, battery causing serious bodily injury and dissuading a witness from reporting a crime. 

It is unclear how to plans to set up a new website from behind bars.
