Political Violence: America's Bloody History

CNN Anchor and Senior National Correspondent Sara Sidner presents an urgent examination of the history of political violence in the United States.  

In the wake of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump on July 13, The Whole Story analyzes America's long held history of political violence. From the nation's revolutionary beginnings to the violent unrest of the 60s, to recent years which have seen mass shootings driven by political issues and the attempted murders of politicians on both sides of the aisle, this hour unpacks how we got to a place where more and more Americans have expressed support for using force to enact political change.

The episode features interviews with American political figures directly impacted by these acts of violence including Patrick J. Kennedy, Patti Davis, George Wallace Jr., Martin Luther King III and Arndrea Waters King.
