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.
