Former President Donald Trump on Sunday responded to the alleged attack against House Speaker Nancy Pelosiโ€™s (D-Calif.) husband Paul Pelosi by saying itโ€™s a โ€œterrible thingโ€ that happened.

The 45th president tied the attack, which occurred early Friday morning, at Pelosiโ€™s home to Democrat policies around crime.

โ€œThese people are crazy. Theyโ€™re going to release stone-cold killers out of the jails. Nobody knows why. I mean, they need room or something. Yeah, with Paul Pelosi, thatโ€™s a terrible thing; with all of them, itโ€™s a terrible thing,โ€ he said in an interview withย Americano Media this weekend. โ€œLook at whatโ€™s happened to San Francisco, generally, look at what is happening in Chicago. It was far worse than Afghanistan,โ€ Trump said during the interview.

Trump added that โ€œwhen I had Afghanistan โ€ฆ we went without one soldier being shot and you look at what happens in Chicago in one weekend; last weekend was brutal. It was like a warzone. No, we have to give the police back their dignity, their respect. They can solve the problem.โ€

โ€œToday if a police officer says something thatโ€™s slightly out of line itโ€™s like, you know, the end of his life, the end of his pension, the end of his family,โ€ Trump also said. โ€œWe canโ€™t do that. We have to give the police back their authority and their power and their respect because this country is out of control and you look atโ€”and theyโ€™re Democrat-run cities almost exclusively.โ€

After the attack, top Democrats sought to tie the incident to Republican political rhetoric and the breach of the Capitol on Jan. 6. Police have to establish a motive in the attack, but officials told reporters Friday that the attack appeared to have been premeditated.

President Joe Biden told a fundraiser in Pennsylvania on Friday that the suspect, David DePape, allegedly used the โ€œsame chantโ€ as individuals who breached the Capitol.
