After an extraordinary and sad day in American history, when hundreds of Trump supporters charged on the U.S. Capitol in an insurgency not seen in hundreds of years, many are asking how this happened?

She joins Christiane to unpack all of this. Then some the striking on-the-ground reporting from ITV News’ Washington Correspondent Robert Moore as he follows the mob breaching the Capitol. For Republican perspective of someone who was in the building on the fateful day, Walter Isaacson speaks to Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy. He talks what should be done about President Trump now.
