[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning on Tuesday scored an exclusive interview with the acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. So, of course, co-host Anthony Mason used the opportunity to push Kevin McAleenan on Donald Trump’s culpability for this weekend’s mass killings.  Mason demanded, “Some of the Hispanic members of the community in El Paso have suggested that the President's rhetoric has contributed to the situation. Do you think the President's rhetoric in any way has inflamed this problem?” After the journalist failed to get the satisfactory answer, he asked the same question: “But do you think rhetoric on a national scale by a figure of the President's stature contributes to the problem?”
