New York Times columnist and the allegedly conservative half of Friday’s PBS News Hour’s weekly news recap, David Brooks, praised former Vice President Kamala Harris’s recent interview with Stephen Colbert and agreed with her that “civic capitulation” to President Trump is “a real thing.” Meanwhile, MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart explained he quit his job at The Washington Post because he could not see the value in “talking about the positive things happening in the country.”
Following a clip of the Harris-Colbert interview, host Amna Nawaz asked Brooks, “David, it's a system she described as broken. What do you make of that response?”
Brooks first lamented, “one thing I didn't like what she said. The system is broken. Running for governor — the gubernatorial system is not broken. Governors all around the country are doing wonderful work. And Washington is a little broken, but running for governor, I think, would be a nice way to serve the country. But that's totally up to her, obviously.”
