The insurrection was one of the worst days of injury for Law Enforcement since the september 11 attacks, but it was more than the capitol that was attacked democracy itself was under assault but, in the end, democracy prevailed. The rioters who tried to stop the certification of the election of jobs failed. The votes were counted. Vice president mike pence confirmed joe biden would be the next president at 3 40 a. M.

A Twilight Vigil tonight on the capitol steps, the same steps that were overrun last january 6th. screaming rioters beating, tasing, Trampling Officers in their zeal to get inside. This was an armed insurrection. Reporter at the at the capitol, President Biden blamed one person, his predecessor. The former president of the United States of america has created and spread a web of lies about the 2020 election. Hes done so because he values power over principle. Reporter for two months leading touch that day, President Trump had refused to concede, urging supporters to stop the steal. You will never take back our country with weakness, you have to show strength and you have to be strong. Reporter the riledup crowd of 2,000 people set its sights on the house where Vice President mike pence and lawmakers were certifying the election results. More than half a dozen rioters and officers died and the incident shook the u. S. Populous. In a recent cbs news poll, twothirds of americans say they feel democracy itself is under threat, many lawmakers do, too. There has never been a time in my life where i have been more worried about this democracy. Reporter today, dozens of democrats shared their memories of that day. And then the pounding on the doors, that haunting sound i will never forget. Reporter but republicans who initial lil called out President Trump made themselves scarce today. One notable exception, former Vice President dick cheney, who joined his daughter congresswoman liz cheney in the House Chamber today and slammed g. O. P. Leaders for their absence. Its not a leadership that resembles any of the folks i knew when i was there. Reporter former President Trump perpetuated his election lies today in three separate statements, falsely claiming the race was rigged and a crime. Even now, hes urging his supporters to never forget and never give up. President biden urged americans to reject that message. You cant love your country only when you win.

Reporter will that happen . Well, he was a critical actor Reporter Committee members tell cbs news to hope to have a report by summer and getting reports from donald trump. Some say he was watching tv gleefully, others say he was passive. Reporter a specific window of time including when the rite began, mike pence didnt have courage to do what needed to be done and urging rioters to go home, he loved them. Youre very special. Reporter the committee is seeking outtakes of that video. Another tweak as a city curfew began about the slipping away of a sacred landslide election. Mienl the committee has become a political wedge issue, disavowed by nearly all republicans except the two sitting on it including congresswoman liz cheney.

January 6th brought out into the light the division, the lies. Reporter kinzingers illinois district partly neighbors d. M. Cheri bustos, also stepping down finding it harder to work across the aisle. We dont necessarily face an angry mob every day we go into work but the atmosphere in washington has not gotten a whole lot better. Reporter bustos was on the how far when it was barricaded last year only feet away from the shooting in the speakers lobby. Was january 6th the final straw . It i had into my decision not to run for reelection. When you have your family who fears for your safety reporter u. S. Capitol police fielded a Record Number of threats against lawmakers last year, 9600, roughly. We cant continue to go in this direction. Reporter lawmakers giving out but not giving up on the institution. The American People have to stop hoping congress and leaders make the difference and they have to demand the difference. Reporter both lawmakers told me they fear what congress could look like in ten, twenty years, if it doesnt course correct, and they hope voters use this years midterm to usher in more members who want to Work Together and restore democracy. Norah. Odonnell nikole killion, thank you. With the first primaries in the mid terms months away, states are the next battlegrounds for the future elections. Ed okeefe shows us the fiery debate already playing out the in michigan sh shouting reporter this was the chaotic scene in detroit the day after the 2020 elections.

We are facing an Uphill Battle given the coordinated concerted tragedy to live to individuals to achieve political gain. Reporter whats the biggest lie theyre being told . That the 2020 election was not accurate when indeed it was. Reporter twothirds of republicans believe the 2020 election was fraudulent and cbs news has found fleiss 31 people who rallied in Washington On January 6th are now running for state or federal office. Six of them are here in michigan including jon rocha, endorsed by donald trump. Were there on the grounds and we saw people, you know, climbing the scaffolding. Reporter what compelled you to go to Washington In The First place . I felt there were enough irregularities in the 2020 election there need to be redress of grievous. Reporter but no court found evidence of widespread election fraud. Still republicans in michigan are using a quirk in the constitution to change Election Laws without the governors signature. Gamedy rowe runs secure my vote which proposes voter i. D. Requirements and preventing officials from sending unsolicited absentee ballot applications. We need to do some stuff to tighten up the way Absentee Ballots are handled. Reporter Secretary Of State benson called that misguided and unnecessary. Is there widespread fraud in michigans elections . No. Reporter also here in michigan, republicans have been replacing some local g. O. P. Election officials who 1e6r9d the 2020 results, sparking fears among democrats and nonparents elections experts about how Ballot Collections go this year and in 2024. Norah. Odonnell ed okeefe, thank you so much. We wanted to put into context what happened here a year ago and what comes next for our democracy with cbs news chief political analyst and our Resident Historian John Dickerson shouting john, its incredible to think were at the doors where we saw so many pictures of people on january 6th storming the capitol. Reporter and its quiet now. This is the way this is supposed to be, a building where immediately you conjure up all the ideas of the men and women who came here to do the peoples business, which makes the fact they were breaking through these windows all that much more of a defilement of what normally goes on here. Odonnell i mean, this is the symbol of democracy worldwide. Reporter the stability of the structure itself is supposed to speak to the stability of the ideas at the heart of this democracy and at the beginning europeans looked at america and laughed and said theres no way youre going to peacefully transfer power, and thats what was attacked, the idea power could be transferred peacefully. Odonnell as somebody whos studied so much history and president s, how does the investigation into january 6th rank. Reporter there is no more important investigation than goes to something at the heart to have the american system. This isnt just a onetime event. If you have a Heart Awe Tack by still smoke and are overweight, you will have another. The investigation into january 6th is about whether the habits of democracy are still alive and the things that led to the riot, whether they might lead to another one again. Odonnell we mark anniversaries for a reason. Usually theyre celebrations. This one is not. Reporter from the minute january 6th happened, there was a debate about what it meant. If there is a debate over the defilement to have the u. S. Capitol, if people cant come to an agreement thats Out Of Bounds and that the person who incited it should no longer be a part of the public conversation, then the learning that needs to take place cannot. Odonnell why do we have to settle that . The Justice System will take care of the people who stormed the building. They are. Reporter the way we prepare for the future is by understanding the past and if we have a messy understanding of january 6th or each side can choose what their understanding of january 6th is, that means nay r they will look to history not nor lessons but the weaponry for the next battle to come.
