The veteran ‘Washington Post’ columnist talks to Vanity Fair about this combustible political moment and the challenges of debate when “we have no overlapping, shared set of facts anymore.”
I had just spent 20 minutes with the Washington Post columnist talking about the GOP, the party that is currently struggling to unite around a House Speaker after ousting Kevin McCarthy. The party that appears to be on the cusp of nominating Donald Trump—the twice-impeached former president facing four separate felony indictments, who less than three years ago capped off his term by inciting a failed insurrection at the Capitol.
To go back to what you were saying a second ago about Trump being in many ways worse than ever—do you think there’s been a little bit of a desensitization to that? I think that’s right. I have faulted and continue to fault the media for its coverage of Trump. But I think we learned the lesson of 2016, and actually did a pretty good job during his presidency and through the insurrection—you know, learning how to fact-check in real time, learning to say, No, this is not normal.
