Dan’s post on incivility today has struck a chord (if you haven’t read it yet, check it out here). CNN’s Anderson Cooper invited him on his show Tuesday night to talk more about what prompted him to write the post. Dan said:
“Here is a president who has specialized as part of his success bullying. Look, incivility takes many forms and to make any comparison between what is happening say in an obscure restaurant somewhere with the kind of, I hate to say it, lies, corruption, and immoral acts and ripping children from their mothers and to equate that with something that happened at a restaurant is a hypocritical farce.”
Watch what else he said here:
“Who lit the fires of hate and incivility?… it began with Donald Trump’s campaign.”
