January 6 Committee: Trump’s tweet inspired “openly homicidal” rhetoric

During its seventh public hearing, the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol focused on the connection between former President Trump and extremist groups as the violent mob came together. Former Oath Keepers spokesperson Jason Van Tatenhove testified that Trump could try to “whip up a civil war” if he’s elected again. Van Tatenhove tells Anderson Cooper why he says “all bets are off” if the former President finds his way back into the White House.

Plus, the Austin American-Statesman newspaper released parts of the surveillance video from the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas that resulted in the murders of 19 children and two teachers. It took officers 77 minutes until they finally entered the classroom and killed the shooter. CNN Crime and Justice Correspondent Shimon Prokupecz joins AC360 to discuss the reaction from the Uvalde community after seeing the video.
