Summary
Modern America is far from the only place where mobs have torn down statues. "During the French Revolution there were attacks on statues," says Jarrett Stepman, author of "The War on History." "Of course, that devolved into attacks on people." Stepman discusses France's history of statue-toppling, Lincoln's warnings on mob rule, and more.
We also cover these stories:
- The D.C. Circuit Court orders the dismissal of the case against Michael Flynn.
- New York and two other states put quarantine restrictions on visitors from states with a certain number of COVID-19 cases.
- A Wisconsin state senator is attacked by a group by the state capitol.
