[See NewsBusters for more.] After a Bernie Sanders-supporting, Republican-hating gunman attempted to slaughter GOP Congressmen, CBS This Morning host Charlie Rose on Thursday wondered if it was Donald Trump who needed to show "civility." Talking to Republican Congressman Gary Palmer about violence at the congressional baseball practice, Rose suggested, “Do we begin with leadership from the White House in terms of trying to cool down things and trying to create more civility and trying to create a more common ground?” The co-host noted, “It is said that the Democrats at their playing field were actually praying when they heard about the shooting on the Republican side.” Co-host Gayle King, unsurprisingly, used the shooting to promote gun control.
