A woman who claims to be the stepdaughter of suspected Paul Pelosi attacker David DePape says he has a monster in him despite trying to be a good person.
The man is accused of hitting Pelosi with a hammer. According to officials, Friday was at the couple's estate. Nancy Pelosi was not in the house.
Inti Gonzalez said in a Friday Facebook post that her younger brothers remembered DePape, who was in a relationship with their mother for years, "physically and sexually abusing" her and her siblings. Gonzalez wrote that her mother made a police report when she found out about her son's memories, but the case was mishandled so nothing was done about it.
The attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband came as a shock to her, as he had inflicted abuse on her and her brothers. I didn't think this was going to happen and there was no sign of it at his end.

Gonzalez, who hasn't seen her father in years, said that DePape was too strong for him to be safe and that she loves him. She claimed her father was abused as a child.

NANCY PELOSI's HUSBAND PAUL PELOSI was attacked by a suspect.
The New York Post reported that DePape was living in a school bus outside of the home of an activist in the weeks before he attacked Pelosi.
Ryan La Coste told the Post that he wasn't surprised that someone was in that house. They're always up to something. They are trying to be an activist. They want to be the center of attention.
San Francisco Police Chief William Scott told reporters that police arrived at the Pelosi home after receiving a report of a break-in and found both Pelosis holding a hammer. Scott said that DePape attacked Pelosi with the hammer.
According to the Associated Press, Pelosi was badly beaten with a hammer. A law enforcement source told Fox News that the attacker yelled, "Where is Nancy, where is Nancy?"
