As a rare treat to end the week, Steven Beschloss, host of Six Questions and writer at America, America, and fellow Lincoln Square host Stuart Stevens wrap up a wild week in politics.
The main story this week, Graham Platner’s conflagration in Maine, weighed heavy on Steven’s and Stuart’s minds. They called out both angry “bro” culture and the tone of Platner’s video addressing Democrats in Maine and across the country.

So, how do Democrats toughen the vetting process and stop glossing over character flaws in an attempt to win election? Check out Steven’s and Stuart’s conversation, right here on Lincoln Square.
