LINCOLN- Just days after Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband was attacked with a hammer in their home, U.S. Rep. Don Bacon is still running attacks ads targeting the Speaker and his opponent State Sen. Tony Vargas.

As of today, the ad was reportedly still running. The advertisement was paid for by the Congressional Leadership Fund, a Republican PAC supporting Congressman Don Bacon.

The ad begins by stating, "Nancy Pelosi has big plans for America but first she needs allies like liberal Tony Vargas." After some time, the ad ends, stating, "Liberal Tony Vargas: if we wins, so does Pelosi."

Following the attack on the Speaker's husband, Bacon tweeted, "We pray for a speedy recovery for Mr. Pelosi, and want the violent criminal held accountable and put behind bars."

News Channel Nebraska questioned Bacon's team on their ads targetting Pelosi, to which a spokesperson responded, saying, "We are only running positive ads. Will Vargas pull his negative attacks ads?"

David DePape, the 42-year-old who attacked Paul Pelosi, was charged in federal court with assault and attempted kidnapping.

Sen. Ben Sasse, following the attack, tweeted, "Every single American needs to be lowering the temperature. This is increasingly obvious: Disturbed individuals easily succumb to conspiracy theories and rage--the consequences are bloody and un-American."
