Several reversals to cover today, so we’ll start with one Steve Kelley probably wishes he could have back. The cartoon is based on an incident in Thursday night’s Philadelphia/Dallas game in which Eagles player Jalen Carter was ejected for spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, which Kelley transformed into an accusation that leftists are spitting […]
