RALEIGH, N.C. — A post on Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson’s personal Facebook page appears to make light of and cast doubt on details surrounding the attack last week on the husband of U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
“I’m sorry Paul I don’t believe you or the press!!!!” the post, published Saturday, says. The message was posted along with an image of packaging mocked up to look like a Halloween costume for an “attacker.” The image features a picture of a shirtless, grinning, hammer-wielding man wearing underwear.
Pelosi’s 82-year-old husband, Paul Pelosi, was attacked with a hammer by a male assailant Friday at the couple's San Francisco home, the Associated Press reported. He was hospitalized and underwent surgery for a skull fracture, AP reported.
