Hmmm.
So over there at my old stomping grounds at CNN, my own former Pennsylvania United States Senator Rick Santorum and my former CNN colleague Don Lemon got into a dust-up.
To be clear, I know and like them both, and yes, have voted for Rick every time he was on the ballot. And yes, I bought Don’s recent book This Is the Fire: What I Say to My Friends About Racism. and am reading currently.
I should begin with a recounting of exactly what took place.
