Nancy Pelosi remains silent on exorcism

Former House Speak spokesperson Nancy Pelosi has made no public statements about the exorcism performed at her home.

Many see the exorcism as uncharacteristic because, although Pelosi calls herself a Catholic, she is denied communion and told that it is “sinful” to oppose abortion.

Pelosi’s daughter, Alexandra, said that the attack on Paul Pelosi affected her mother much more than people think. “I think it weighed heavily on her soul,” she said. “I think she really felt guilty. I think it really broke her. On Thanksgiving Day, priests came to her, who tried to exorcise evil spirits from the house and arrange prayers.

Father Arturo Albano of St. Vincent de Paul Church, Pelosi’s local parish, told the New York Post that none of his employees were involved. “As far as I know, no exorcisms or religious services were held in her house,” he said.

When Pelosi was asked if the attack on her husband influenced her decision to step down as speaker of the House of Representatives, she said it was time for her to pass the gavel to someone else. An investigation into the strange circumstances of the alleged Paul Pelosi incident continues. Pelosi apparently knew the assailant, having told police he was a “friend.” A judge on Wednesday said police footage should be released to the public.

“Maybe I was going to leave anyway,” she said. “If we had won by 20 votes, and that was important, I could have stayed. It is true that when I went to the site, I had two thoughts: to stay or not to stay. It’s time to move on. If Hillary had won, I could have left. But I wasn’t going to let Donald Trump have his own way with the government.”

David DePape, 42, allegedly hit Paul Pelosi with a hammer when police arrived at his San Francisco home in October. The alleged assailant reportedly demanded the whereabouts of the then speaker.

Prosecutors charged DePape with attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and elder abuse. However, the defendant pleaded not guilty to state and federal charges, including allegations that he planned to kidnap Nancy Pelosi. Adam Lipson, DePape’s public defender, said the assault suspect “will be fighting this case in court, not in the hallway.”

San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said in a statement following his indictment that “Mr. DePape will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and held accountable for his heinous crime.”
