WASHINGTON, DC – House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries issued the following statement following the release of footage from the violent attack on Paul Pelosi at his home in San Francisco:

“The violent attack on Paul Pelosi was unconscionable and his assailant must be brought to justice. We live in dangerous times of unprecedented extremism and political violence which have no place in our democracy or in the everyday lives of elected officials and their loved ones. The prayers of the Caucus, the Congress and the Country are with Paul, Speaker Emerita Pelosi and their wonderful family. May God watch over Paul in his continued recovery.”
