Panetta: I Have Never Seen a More Disturbing Event Take Place than the Capitol Under Siege by a Mob

‘It was a moment where you suddenly worry about the fragility of our democracy’

EXCERPT:

PANETTA: "Andrea, in my over 50 years of public life, I have never seen a more disturbing event take place than the Capitol of the United States under siege by a mob, bringing our democracy to a halt. It was a moment where you suddenly worry about the fragility of our democracy and the fact that it doesn’t take much to be able to undermine our great country. We saw it happen yesterday and I think we all have to be very vigilant about what happens in these next few days."
