Past reports have said that DePape grew up in Canada.
Court records indicate that DePape told police that he used a hammer to smash through a glass door and then woke up Paul Pelosi. DePape claimed he was looking for Nancy Pelosi so he could kidnap and question her.
“If Nancy were to tell DEPAPE the ‘truth,’ he would let her go, and if she ‘lied,’ he was going to break ‘her kneecaps,’” court documents reveal. “DEPAPE was certain that Nancy would not have told the ‘truth.’ In the course of the interview, DEPAPE articulated he viewed Nancy as the ‘leader of the pack’ of lies told by the Democratic Party DEPAPE also later explained that by breaking Nancy’s kneecaps, she would then have to be wheeled into Congress, which would show other Members of Congress there were consequences to actions.”
Paul Pelosi is said to have “rushed over and opened” the front door when police knocked on the door.
