For a few hours on Wednesday- chaos ruled in the halls of congress. A pro-Trump mob broke down the doors and flooded the building- vandalizing some of the lawmakers’ offices. A woman was shot dead by law enforcement and a police officer died of injuries sustained in the violence. Lawmakers and staff were hustled to safety but otherwise police appeared powerless to stop the mob.
Once lawmakers returned to debate- some who said they had planned to voice objections to the electoral count, changed their minds in light of the violence.
On this episode of Intersection- we discuss the chaos in DC with political commentators Dick Batchelor and Frank Torres and former Florida Supreme Court justice James Perry.
Also joining the show: US Rep. Stephanie Murphy and Orange County Sheriff John Mina.
