Bill Galston on Populism and Impeachment
b'
Bill Galston, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and domestic\\xa0policy advisor in the Clinton White House, wrote\\xa0his column this week in the Wall Street Journal\\xa0arguing against impeachment in a fashion that sharply diverges from arguments made\\xa0by others on\\xa0Lawfare. He argues that polling data shows that an impeachment inquiry would be an irresponsible direction for anyone hoping to remove Trump from office. Benjamin Wittes sat down with Bill to discuss his column, as well as his recent book, "Anti-Pluralism: The Populist Threat to Liberal Democracy."\\xa0
They talked about populism as an international and domestic phenomenon, the role of economics and identity in driving populism internationally, and whether populisms of the left and right are symmetric issues or whether they present different ones.
