It’s been described as “democracy under stress” and US Republicans are divided after the GOP derailed an inquiry into the deadly assault on the Capitol by former President Donald Trump’s supporters.

Democrats and some moderate Republicans had called for a commission to probe the events up to the incident.

The violence left five people dead including a Capitol Police officer.

Republican Madeline Dean says many of her colleagues are scared.
