Op-Ed: Heritage Foundation’s Kay Coles James Represents America

“Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.” — Booker T. Washington

Kay Coles James has been tried and tested by fire. At 71 years of age, there is little doubt that this African-American conservative woman has forgotten more than most of us could even dream of ever knowing.

In that same vein, Tucker Carlson’s work in journalism is admirable; he is one of my favorite hosts and I’ll continue to support his reporting.

However, the sideswipe which Mr. Carlson recently took at the Heritage Foundation and its president (Kay Coles James) was misrepresentative and disrespectful and lacked perspective.
