Old and Busted: Looks Like Soledad O'Brien Got Bailed Out By A Producer Whispering In Her Earpiece A Definition Cribbed From Wikipedia

Via Dan Riehl, this sure is funny.

Joel Pollack challenged Soledad O'Brien three times to provide a working definition of "critical race theory." She kept saying, basically, I don't want to define it, I just want to see if you can.

Eventually sheproduced a definition.

Soledad O’Brien: “Critical Race Theory looks into the intersection of race and politics and the law.”

Wikipedia entry on Critical Race Theory: “Critical Race Theory (CRT) is an academic discipline focused upon the intersection of race, law and power.”

But maybe she just had Wikipedia's brief definition memorized?

Maybe not.

Later in the video, O’Brien can be heard deflecting another question from Pollak, saying “You know what, someone was talking in my ear, so I couldn’t hear what you said.”

By the way, I denounce myself for calling Soledad O'Brien old. I'll be suspending my segment, Soledad O'Brien is Aging Poorly, until after this controversy blows over.
