Saturday 29 October 2022 06:55 PM Democrat lawmakers fearful they'll be MURDERED in wake of attack on Paul Pelosi trends now
Democratic lawmakers including Debbie Dingell are fearing for their lives in the wake of a terrifying hammer attack against House of Representative speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul.
Police arrested David DePape, 42, after he broke into the Pelosis' $6million San Francisco home on Friday at 2.27 am in his underwear and beat Paul Pelosi, 82, with a hammer while shouting 'where's Nancy'.
Michigan Democrat Dingell gave her love to the Pelosi family while speaking to NBC and said she was fearful of the increasing trend of attacks she is seeing.
Dingell recounted the moment she saw men outside her house with 'assault weapons' prior to even January 6 - when a mob of supporters of then US President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol Building.
She said 'this hatred and fear is dangerous.'
'This anger that we're seeing across the country… the acceptance of language that shouldn't be there the bullying… I think we all need to take a deep breath because it is endangering our democracy,' she said.
After an attempted kidnapping of the governor of Michigan Gretchen Whitmer Dingell said she had hate-speech written about her following the incident.

'Look we're human beings you do get scared and by the way one of the men that was convicted also said on the dark web that I should be hung for treason,' she said.
'It's this vitriolicness (sic) that is scary and you know we all gotta (sic) stand up to it.'
Michigan's 12th congressional representative went on to say that social media has played a pivotal role in what she believes is a trend.
'I think some of it social media that was supposed to bring us together has allowed people to have a blank slate to say whatever they want,' she said.
'There are people carrying guns threatening people that is not ok and I don't care what party you are I don't want to see anybody I know republican or democrat or far right far left hurt.
'We all have to stand up to it cause if we don't our democracy is in real trouble.'
