Coming up on Washington Week with The Atlantic:
The fall of civility and rise of authoritarianism in the Republican party: This week, a rash of angry altercations erupted on Capitol Hill. Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) allegedly elbowed fellow GOP Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) in the kidneys, and Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) challenged a hearing witness to a fight. And on Veterans Day, former President Donald Trump echoed the language of authoritarian dictators when he described his political foes as ‘vermin.’
Joining editor in chief of The Atlantic and moderator, Jeffrey Goldberg to discuss this and more:
- Peter Baker, Chief White House Correspondent, The New York Times
- Leigh Ann Caldwell, Co-Author, The Washington Post's Early 202, and Anchor, Washington Post Live
- Idrees Kahloon, Washington Bureau Chief, The Economist
- Elaina Plott Calabro, Staff Writer, The Atlantic
