Week In The News: John Kelly Backs Trump, Kirkuk And Raqqa, #MeToo (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Former presidents taking on Donald Trump this week. And his White House general, John Kelly, defending him on the handling of dead soldiers. George W. Bush warning of casual cruelty, bullying and prejudice, emboldened bigotry. Barack Obama of old politics of division. White House chief of staff John Kelly backing the president on condolence calls. We’ve got Kirkuk in the news, and Raqqa. A drug czar nominee withdraws. “Me too.” This hour, On Point: Our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines. --Tom Ashbrook
