January 6, 2021 was a chaotic and embarrassing day in our nation's capital as pro-Trump rioters stormed into the Capitol Building, disrupting a joint session of Congress where members of the House and Senate were certifying the electoral college results from the 2020 presidential election. The riots left five people dead, including a Capitol Police officer. What actually happened in Washington? My guest today is Noam Blum, he's an Associate Editor at Tablet Magazine. On today's show, we're going to discuss the events that took place on this day, the immediate fallout from it, and where we go from here. "Hashing it Out" is a podcast hosted by Siraj Hashmi, Washington Examiner's commentary video editor and writer.
