Eric Swalwell just did something on Lawrence O'Donnell that made me admire him even more [View all]

Rep. Swalwell and Rep. Mikie Sherrill were simultaneous guests, and O'Donnell began by asking Swalwell a few questions. After minutes went by without O'Donnell giving Sherrill a chance to talk, Swalwell stopped answering and changed the topic to how Sherrill was a veteran, and how she always served legislatively but on Wednesday she served by using her military experience to help people with their masks, help them evacuate and help keep them calm.

It was a gracious way to ensure that Sherrill got her due attention and respect, and sure enough, O'Donnell pivoted and gave her the rest of the questions.
