Alexandra Pelosi, the youngest daughter of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, weighs in on Republican's reaction to her father's assault during an interview discussing her upcoming documentary which is premiering on HBO this coming Tuesday.

Following a portion of the interview where Pelosi discussed the January 6th attack on the Capitol and how hard it's been trying to explain to her children why anyone would want to kill their grandmother, CBS Sunday Morning's John Dickerson asked Pelosi about the brutal hammer assault on her father Paul in October.

Pelosi took aim at the callous Republicans who treated the assault as some sort of joke to be used for purely political fodder.

"He is getting better every day, thank you for asking," Alexandra told Dickerson. "The scars are healing. I mean, he looks like Frankenstein. The scars are healing. but I think the emotional scars, I don't know if those ever heal."

Adding to the emotional scars from the attack for the whole family is how some outsiders have reacted. "I haven't slept since the night my father was attacked," Alexandra said, noting others have used the attack for political advantage.

"I don't care who you are and who you vote for. Nobody should think it is funny than an 82-year-old man got attacked in the middle of the night," she says. "And yet, like, a sitting governor and a wannabe governor and members of Congress were laughing about it."

She says her father is the breakout star of her mother's life, and of the documentary she's made.
