The death of George Floyd sparked months of unrest, riots, and a nationwide movement that reshaped the country’s institutions—from policing to education, media, and corporate America.
Five years later, Victor Davis Hanson takes a hard look at the real aftermath of Floyd’s death on this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
“ There was $2 billion in damage. There was a police precinct burned to the ground, in Minneapolis. There was a federal courthouse that was burned. There was a historic St. John's Church—across from the White House—that was torched. A mob tried to go into the White House grounds and reach the president.”
“And the country now is learning it's lessons. It's trying to find a sober solution. A reaction. I think they're trying—we're trying to come to a conclusion. Why in the world did we go completely collectively insane?”
