Author Reading | John Avlon discusses his book Wingnuts: How the Lunatic Fringe is Hijacking America with CNN's John Roberts and Kiran Chetry


The anchors of CNN's American Morning will join Avlon, former Rudy Giuliani speechwriter and Daily Beast senior political columnist, in conversation to discuss his new book. Campaigning as the antidote to polarized politics, Barack Obama promised to transcend the old divides of left and right, black and white, red states and blues states. But during his first year in office, he presided over an eruption of hate and hyper-partisanship that mocks the pledge upon which millions ushered him into office. Wingnuts shows the way back to a smarter, saner, national conversation.
