Acting more like a doorman than a journalist during PBS coverage of the Democratic National Convention Thursday night, CBS This Morning co-host Charlie Rose invited former Attorney General Eric Holder to blast Donald Trump: “You also said that Donald Trump, you questioned his gray matter. You mean he’s not smart enough to be president?”

Holder replied: “Yeah, I wonder. You know, I sometimes think that he hides behind a certain bravado to hide a lack of substance that he has....he seems to me to be a very shallow man.” Rather challenge the nasty personal attack or lecture Holder to tone down the rhetoric, Rose urged him to continue: “And because you don't see any intellectual interest, you don't see anything other than a businessman?”
