Their comments come as many Americans, particularly Trump supporters, continue to deny the dark reality of the Capitol insurrection
Some of America’s most prominent historians gave an urgent warning about the state of American democracy as they gathered on Capitol Hill on Thursday to commemorate the 6 January insurrection.
Doris Kearns Goodwin and Jon Meacham condemned the attack on the Capitol, which was carried out by a group of former president Donald Trump’s supporters to disrupt the certification of Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election.
In a speech at the U.S. Capitol marking one year since the violent insurrection, President Biden stressed that “the way forward is to recognize the truth”: that former President Trump has “created and spread a web of lies about the 2020 election.” He called for a defense of voting rights and for Americans to unite. Vice President Kamala Harris also spoke about the defense of democracy. Tony Dokoupil anchors CBS News Special Report coverage from Capitol Hill with chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes, congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane, and chief national affairs and justice correspondent Jeff Pegues.
