Charles Blow Explodes at Lydia Moynihan After She Claims He’s Just Seeking a Viral Clip: ‘I Won’t Be Lectured by a Child’

‘I really appreciate you lecturing me about what I’m here to do’

EXCERPT:

MOYNIHAN: "Look, I know you’re trying to get a social media clip, Charles, but I was trying to talk."
BLOW: "You know what?"
MOYNIHAN: "I know you’re trying to get your social media clip. I gotcha. I answered your  question already, but I’m also not here to answer to you. So — "
BLOW: "I’m happy that you told me that because I really appreciate — I’m sorry. I really appreciate you lecturing me about what I’m here to do, because I’m here because Abby's show invited me here, and I have been in journalism for a very long time. In fact, I came to The New York Times when you — the year that you were born. So I would choose — I suggest that you choose a lane that is your own and stay in it and don't lecture me because I won't be lectured by a child. Thank you."
