Description

Congresswoman Norma Torres (D-CA), forced to shelter-in-place in the House gallery, shares the harrowing details of January 6th, 2021.
As the Capitol was under siege, Congresswoman Torres donned a gas mask and crawled on hands and knees to safety. She spent hours worried her life was at risk. When one of her sons called, she picked up the phone only to tell him that she was safe but running for her life.
This is not merely an academic discussion about disinformation and security breaches. This is a personal conversation about one representative's fight to stay safe amid real danger.
