In These Times | Attack on the Capitol
Manage episode 282189269 series 1004406
On Wednesday, January 6, 2021, as legislators counted and confirmed the votes in the Electoral College, rioters breached the Capitol building, forcing an evacuation of the House floor, including Vice President Pence. The events unfolded amidst President Trump having urged his supporters to fight against the ceremonial counting of the votes. The rioters, who could be heard calling police officers "traitors," eventually forced their way into the Senate chambers. The standoff resulted in five deaths.
In this bonus episode we talk to a constitutional scholar and a professor of sociology and Africana Studies about the events and what comes next.
Featuring:
Rogers Smith, Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of Political Science
Tukufu Zuberi, Lasry Family Professor of Race Relations, Professor of Sociology and Africana Studies
