DePape said he attacked Pelosi because people’s liberties are being threatened. He also apologized for not doing more, saying that the people allegedly destroying liberty “have names and addresses, so I got their names and addresses so I could pay them a little visit…have a heart to heart chat about their bad behavior.”
“I want to apologize to everyone. I messed up. What I did was really bad. I’m so sorry I didn’t get more of them. It’s my own fault. No one else is to blame. I should have come better prepared,” he said.
