Reflections on January 6: Narratives and Aftermath

Monday will mark 4 years since the January 6 attack on the U.S. capitol, which the FBI classified as an act of domestic terrorism. President-elect Donald Trump is doubling down on revisionist history of the event, even calling it a “day of love” and vowing to pardon the rioters. We’ll look back at what really took place that day and the ongoing implications for the rule of law and the future of democracy. And we’ll talk with Atlantic journalist Hanna Rosin about her podcast “We Live Here Now,” which examines the “Justice for January 6” movement.

Guests:

Hanna Rosin, host of Radio Atlantic and co-host of The Atlantic's narrative podcast "We Live Here Now"

Sarah Wire, senior national political correspondent, USA Today. She was reporting from the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
