Nancy Pelosi's Husband Was Just Caught in an Alleged Hit-and-Run; Will He Skate Accountability?

Paul Pelosi, the husband of former Speaker of the House and Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi (CA-11), is in the crosshairs of law enforcement... again. 

Representative Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul, has been charged with a misdemeanor after an alleged hit-and-run in the same spot he got one four years ago. 

Paul, 86, has been accused of crashing into an unoccupied parked car on the shoulder of a roadway just after 2.30pm in Yountville, a small town in the Wine Country of California, on Thursday. 

He was driving close to the palatial vineyard estate he shares with Speaker Emeritus Nancy in tony St Helena when he smashed into a parked car.

Cops say, rather than stopping, Paul continued to drive his brown convertible until it shuddered to a halt and blocked an intersection – the exact spot he previously got a DUI in 2022. 

Yountville is a very small community, so the antics, including the drunk driving incidents, of Paul Pelosi are well known. As is the fact that, thanks to his high-profile and powerful wife, the majority of them have probably been swept under the rug.

The last time Paul Pelosi made headlines was in 2022, first because of a DUI where Pelosi crashed his Porsche and collided with another driver. Pelosi was arrested and booked on charges of driving while intoxicated. He pleaded guilty, and a Napa County judge sentenced him to three years of probation. In October 2022, Pelosi was attacked with a hammer by leftwing activist David DePape at the Pelosi's Napa home. Pelosi suffered a brain injury, which required surgery and hospitalization. Nancy Pelosi and her Democrat cadre tried to blame the incident on Republicans and rightwing violence. 

DePape was sentenced to 30 years in prison for his crime.

The Daily Mail story linked above also mentions a 1957 incident when Pelosi was only 16. Pelosi was driving too fast, and flipped his sports car, killing his older brother David.

A newspaper report at the time said Paul would be cited for misdemeanor manslaughter. In the end, there was no court case, and he was exonerated by a coroner's jury.

His brother had urged him to drive slower before the fatal smash, according to a patrolman quoted by the San Francisco Examiner. 

But on this July 3 crash, Pelosi did not bother to stop after hitting the parked vehicle. He simply went on his way.

In a police interview, Paul said he knew he had hit something but didn’t know what, so he continued driving until his car puttered out. 

'He drove until his car became disabled and was no longer able to continue driving,' the Napa Valley Police Department said. 

Napa Valley police sources told the Daily Mail that his car sustained severe damage to the front right, while the empty car he hit was left needing serious repairs to the back. 

Authorities identified the vehicle's license plate as Paul Pelosi's. He is now facing a single charge of hit-and-run on a parked car and will have his driving license referred to the DMV for re-evaluation due to his age, which is common for elderly drivers.

The Pelosis can obviously pay for any damages to the other person's destroyed vehicle. Thankfully, no one was hurt in the incident, and while Pelosi may get another slap on the wrist, he possibly will lose his ability to hold a driver's license. Why he still had one after suffering his brain injury in 2022 is a question for another day.

It would be nice to one day see some accountability enacted on this corrupt house. Nancy Pelosi's power has been diminished of late, and she no longer holds the sway she once had. So, perhaps that will happen sooner rather than later.
