On the October 28 edition of CBS This Morning, co-host Norah O'Donnell invited guffaws for her "softball of a question" when she asked arch-liberal Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren to describe "what's going to happen if Republicans take control" of Congress:
Co-host Norah O’Donnell: “You serve in the U.S. Senate. Democrats are in control. The Republicans need six seats. On average, since World War II the opposing party of the President has won about six seats. What’s going to happen if Republicans take control?”
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA): “Oh, it’s going to be ugly out there if the Republicans take control.”
O’Donnell: “I guess that was a softball of a question, wasn’t it?”
Warren: “How many ways can we talk about this?”
Co-host Charlie Rose: “She just teed it up for you. Go.”
