SCV Lives: Reporter reflects on the U.S. Capitol siege and difficult aftermath
Courtesy of Robin Chapman Robin Chapman prepares for a live report for WJLA-TV on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol in the 1980s. All America has been stunned by the scenes of the Jan. 6 attack on our Capitol. Like many of you, I’m still in shock. I was a reporter there some years ago: a small fry in a big place. As I gain in years and know more about the world, I understand how lucky I was to bear witness there to open debate in a free society – a rare thing on a planet where secret police and government by thuggery are still all too common.
