YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMichael Beschloss joins Andrea Mitchell, Katy Tur, and Hallie Jackson to provide historical context ahead of the January 6 Committee's third day of public hearings. “I’m a little bit worried that people who have not lived for a lot of American history, who haven't studied it, think that this is just a normal thing,” says Beschloss. “We’ve never seen the President tried to wage a coup to overturn an election that he lost,” he explains. “We're divided against ourselves over the basic issue, not of slavery in 1860, but democracy itself. We have never seen anything like that in over two centuries, I'm sad to say.”
