David Ignatious has an impressive resume as the son of the president of the Washington Post. This naturally entitles him to be a pundit. And somehow he ended up as the moderator as a session at the World Economic Forum in Davos with Shimon Peres and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
What could go wrong?
Peres spends nearly half an hour talking about how Israel wants only peace. When Erdogan asks to respond, Ignatious says "One minute.....," and then Ignatious tries to cut off Erdogan over and over. Ignatious keeps grabbing at President Erogan's arm and Erdogan keeps slapping Ignatious' hand away. Jerry Springer would have done a better job than Ignatious, who infuriates Erdogan, causing him to stomp off the stage in fury. I caught this on BBC radio, but that did show Ignatious pawing and grabbing at Erdogan
