KPBS Midday Edition

5 years after Jan. 6, where are we now?

Five years ago, insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol.


Four died during the attack, including Ashli Babbitt from San Diego. In the days and weeks that followed, five police officers died — some by suicide.


Today House Democrats held a special hearing to observe what happened that day. They called for accountability and accused President Donald Trump and his supporters of attempting to "whitewash" history.


"Even five years later, there are things that I can't shake," said Congresswoman Sara Jacobs, who represents San Diego's 51st District. "Thinking through what I could use as a weapon if I needed to: pens, my high heels. Being sure that the elevator doors were going to open and someone with a machine gun was going to be right there."


On Midday Edition, we discuss the legacy of Jan. 6 and the lack of repercussions for insurrectionists. Plus, San Diego connections to the violence.


Guests:


  • Will Carless, USA Today reporter covering extremism and emerging issues
  • Carl Luna, professor emeritus of political science, San Diego Mesa College
