Trump assassination attempt #1

On Saturday following the attempted assassination of former President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, CBS was out of control in demanding Republicans be the ones to lower the proverbial temperature and alter their rhetoric to soothe our collective body politic.

Giving credit where credit is due, NBC (and simulcast on MSNBC) wasn’t anywhere near the dumpster fire on Saturday night that CBS was in covering the assassination attempt against former President Trump that left at least one Trump rally attendee dead and others injured.
