Episode Notes
For this emergency episode reviewing Wednesday’s violence against Congress, we reached out to historian Joanne Freeman, author of The Field of Blood: Violence in Congress and the Road to Civil War. Virginia Heffernan and Freeman review the history of political violence in Congress and why this week’s events had a different implication.
