Political Violence and Extremism in the U.S.

After the shootings of two Minnesota lawmakers over the weekend, we look at what is motivating people to carry out acts of political violence, and what could cause the tone & tenor of associated rhetoric to become calmer.

This episode: political reporter Elena Moore, domestic extremism correspondent Odette Yousef, and senior political editor & correspondent Domenico Montanaro.
