The Brian Lehrer Show

Karen Tumulty, political columnist for The Washington Post, talks about the latest news from Washington, D.C.

Whatever people think of Giuliani now, in that moment "he was seen as a great force for unity, not division," says @ktumulty, reflecting on Giuliani's former role as "America's Mayor"

.@ktumulty: Yes we've seen a couple of moderates under pressure wrt Kavanaugh vote, but the real pressure is on Democrats running in states that Trump won. Would bet Kavanaugh is confirmed smoothly.

.@ktumulty, on the significance of Bob Woodward's book: "The Trump presidency has almost become a coloring book: the outlines are clear," from all reporting. We just have to shade in the rest.

YES, caller Karen! in his farewell speech, Giuliani was performing within the bounds of political norms with an eye on future office & opportunity. the failure to see that is, in part, why Trump is POTUS. unsustainable

For the rest of the country yeah. And he did a good job on 9/11 and the end of his term. But for his entire time in office he refused to meet with black leadership and was an overt racist.
