Protestors in Sri Lanka stormed the prime minister's office after President Gotabaya Rajapaksa fled to the Maldives and appointed Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe as acting president. Protestors are blaming the top government officials for the country's economic collapse. Journalist and author Frances Harrison joined John Dickerson to discuss how the country got to this point.
