CBS This Morning's hosts badgered Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway on 9 September 2016 over the billionaire's recent praise for Vladmir Putin, the Iraq War, his appearance on Larry King's show on Russia's state-run RT network, and North Korea's nuclear program. By contrast, the anchors went much easier on Democratic V.P. nominee Tim Kaine. They spent seven minutes out of eleven playing up his past apologies for slavery, and asking him about race relations and the new African American Museum, instead of the presidential campaign. They did ask questions from his left flank on slavery reparations and mass incarceration.
