Anthony Fauci returned to Capitol Hill this week, where he faced attacks from Republican lawmakers during a Senate hearing. On Washington Week With The Atlantic , panelists joined to discuss his response, and more.
“The hearing was such a perfect encapsulation of Washington at this moment, with a lot of raised voices and a lot of yelling and virtually no new information,” Stephen Hayes, the editor of The Dispatch , said last night. “With a more serious government we would have gotten closer to answers through that hearing.”
Joining the editor in chief of The Atlantic , Jeffrey Goldberg, to discuss this and more: Peter Baker, the chief White House correspondent at The New York Times ; Susan Glasser, a staff writer at The New Yorker ; Hayes; Nancy A. Youssef, a staff writer at The Atlantic .
