Free Press Staffer, Pai Get Into Tweet Tiff

After Free Press's Lauren Wilson suggested on Twitter that Federal Communications Commissioner Ajit Pai's concern for people of color is insincere, Commissioner Pai tweeted back that he is proud of his "Indian heritage and I am never going to apologize for standing for what I believe is right.” Wilson then tweeted an apology.

The exchange came in the context of the controversy surrounding FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler's plan to ban joint sales agreements, which Free Press supports and Commissioner Pai opposes.
