Extremists emboldened by President Donald Trump flooded into the U.S. Capitol building yesterday in an attempt to disrupt the certification of the electoral college. We hear from members of Oregon’s congressional delegation, including Democratic representatives Kurt Schrader and Peter DeFazio, and Republican representative Cliff Bentz.
We also hear from hip hop journalist Mac Smiff, who has been participating in protests against police brutality in Portland, about how the police response to the insurrection in Washington, D.C. differed from what he has seen here. And journalist Leah Sottile talks about the connections between far-right extremism in the Pacific Northwest and the pro-Trump mob at the Capitol.
