…of fame he has had. Yes, a Stedsman was on national tv, and maybe, just maybe, you saw him. Corey Gayheart, Steds junior and political science major, is not studying abroad but rather studying domestically in Washington D.C. this semester. Recently, Gayheart had the opportunity to be a part of CNN’s Town Hall with Nancy Pelosi. Held at CNN headquarters in D.C., the town hall covered a wide range of current topics. Going into the town hall, Gayheart knew that he might have an opportunity to ask a question, but he also knew there were no guarantees of it. Whether it was the stars being aligned or something more earthly like slipping someone a $20, Gayheart got to ask his question. What was his question? Here it is…
Gayheart’s question: My grandfather worked for the CIA, during the Cold War, and worked on military aircraft intelligence with the Air Force. I feel the sense of urgency and deep concern regarding the Russian interference in our election and or institutions that I am sure he felt during the Cold War. I ask you, if my grandfather were here today, what would you do to reassure him that Russia will not get away with what they have done to destabilize and dis-unify our country?
On being CNN's Town Hall, Gayheart said, "I got to ask my question, AND they sent a car to get me!"
The set...
...Gayheart in a choice, front row seat...
...yes, the car that collected him for the town hall.
