Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart had an eventful time on Friday’s installment of PBS NewsHour. First, Capehart did his typical thing where he alleged President Trump’s recent press conference included “some of the most racist things I have ever heard come out of the White House.” Later, he said something so absurd that the usually amenable New York Times columnist David Brooks laughed at him when he claimed, “Trust me, the Democrats aren't in trouble.”

Later, host Amna Nawaz recalled, “Jonathan, you and your colleagues at MSNBC just hosted the forum for the [DNC Chair] candidates last night. What's your takeaway? Does this party have a direction?”
At that forum, Capehart again sought to reduce Kamala Harris’s defeat to racism and sexism, so naturally he thought things are going just fine in Democrat Land, “The party has a direction. Let me say this. I hesitated a bit. They are not unclear on what they stand for. What they are struggling with is, how do they convince the American people that they are where the American people said in the election they didn't think they were, that somehow the Republicans are now the party of the working class and care about the American people and the Democrats are the ones who are in league with billionaires and the elites?”
