Former President Barack Obama is weighing in on whether he believes the U.S. is “still teetering” or “on the brink of a crisis” following the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, as CNN’s Anderson Cooper asked.

The former president earlier added about the Republican Party, “I thought that there were enough guardrails institutionally that even after Trump was elected that you would have the so-called Republican establishment … we did not see that Republican establishment say hold on, time out.”
After mentioning the events of January 6, Obama said there is now “large portions of an elected Congress going along with the falsehood that there were problems with the election.”
