Yes...
It was particularly shocking for me with Thomas Sowell.
I was on the ping list, and avidly read his articles almost daily.
I had begun reading his Ted Cruz article with the same confidence and admiration, and as I read, i got more and more distressed until I had to stop reading and ask to be removed from the Sowell ping list. I was devastated.
I’ve rarely read any of Sowell’s articles, but I was still shocked at what he’s said about Cruz.
