One year ago, an angry mob of white supremacist anarchists stormed the U.S. Capitol, interrupted the constitutionally required counting of Electoral College votes, and tried to undermine the peaceful transfer of power. One year later there have been investigations, some prosecutions, and even an impeachment, but has it been enough to prevent January 6th from serving as a blueprint for future insurrections? Debra Perlin speaks with Mary McCord, Executive Director of the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection (ICAP), about the lasting impact of January 6th and what needs to happen moving forward.
