Jonathan Capehart

PBS NewsHour’s weekly recap with New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart began with a discussion on, of all things, Republican attitudes towards climate change. During the discussion, Brooks, the supposedly conservative half of the duo, reduced oil drilling to a simple way of Republicans to offend elite…

Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart may have got more than he bargained for on Friday’s PBS NewsHour as he took great offense to colleague and contributor Gary Abernathy’s assessment that the Department of Justice cannot continue to indict former President Donald Trump while giving “a sweetheart deal” to Hunter Biden and expect to be taken seriously. Later,…

Washington Post contributor Gary Abernathy and associate editor Jonathan Capehart joined PBS NewsHour’s Geoff Bennett to recap the week that was by not only excluding any mention of the House hearing on IRS whistleblowers alleging improper interference in the Hunter Biden investigation, but finding consensus that Vice President Harris is correct to attack Florida Gov. Ron…

PBS NewHour host Geoff Bennett, New York Times columnist David Brooks, and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart came together on Friday to discuss multiple-defense related controversies from the past week and accuse Republicans of “screwing up” the military for the sake of their “culture wars.”

On Jonathan Capehart's Sunday Show on MSNBC, Al Sharpton suggests that Republicans opposed to affirmative action and reparations believe that blacks are "genetically inferior."

On Friday's PBS NewsHour, co-host Amna Nawaz expressed alarm that a federal judge issued a ruling that "essentially bans the Biden administration from communicating with social media companies about misinformation or disinformation online." PBS political analyst Jonathan Capehart found it mind-boggling "in the middle of a pandemic." What time machine is he traveling in?

Guests on Jonathan Capehart's MSNBC show compete to see who can make the ugliest slur of Casey DeSantis, wife of Ron.

Jonathan Capehart, the fill-in host for Thursday evening’s The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell on MSNBC, reacted to the morning’s news of the Supreme Court’s affirmative action case by launching personal attacks on the justices who had voted against it.

Next time you catch the PBS News Hour on Friday evening (it’s partially funded by your taxes, after all), close your eyes and try to tell the difference between liberal Jonathan Capehart of the Washington Post and “conservative” counterpart David Brooks of the New York Times during the show’s weekly political roundtable. Capehart is one of many liberal voices on PBS…

The whole point of elections is to offer multiple competing visions for the future, but this was confusing to the cast of Friday’s PBS NewsHour with host Amna Nawaz how 2024 Republicans can “undermine” federal agencies, such as the Justice Department, while seeking to run them. Washington Post associate editor also proclaimed that such campaigning represents “projection.”

The Democrat and their media bosom buddies never seem to face the bizarre scenario they are pushing for 2024 -- that Donald Trump is a horrible tyrant and threat to democracy who they can't wait to crown as the Republican nominee. Washington Post columnst Jonathan Capehart admitted "I think Democrats are still champing at the bit to run against Donald Trump again."…

New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart mixed up their usual Friday routine on PBS NewsHour and actually had, by PBS standards, a contentious argument on whether or not media arrogance partly explains Donald Trump’s popularity.

Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart spent Friday’s PBS NewHour laughing at GOP allegations that Democrats are going after Justice Clarence Thomas simply because they do not like the Supreme Court’s recent rulings, implausible arguing this is just about transparency.
