Comments by "Daily Wire Third Stringer" (@DailyWireThirdStringer) on "California court releases video showing brutal attack on Paul Pelosi | GMA" video.
It's pretty obvious what happened here. The intruder (David DePape) broke into the home, as seen on another video (not shown here), using the hammer and pulling the glass towards him, hence the reason it appeared to be shattered from the inside. Realizing that Nancy wasn't home, he then proceeded to threaten Paul Pelosi. Mr. Pelosi makes a call to 911 disguised as a call elsewhere (a food order perhaps), per the audio tapes that were also released, and only gives David's name to the dispatcher after asking him for it (strongly suggesting that they weren't already familiar with one another). When the police show up at the front door for a "wellness check" (not really expecting anything serious), Mr. Pelosi continues his act that he and David are "friends" so as to not aggravate him, but still attempts to take the hammer away from him. David DePape, on the other hand, realizes he's been duped and at the last minute decides to follow through with an attack on Mr. Pelosi, despite the fact that he wasn't his intended target. The police quickly react and arrest DePape, and then attend to Mr. Pelosi's injuries. I hope this clears up any confusion, especially for those who seemed to have adopted a philosophy of anti-empricism and conspiratorial thinking, of which one side of the political spectrum is inarguably more guilty than the other.
