[See NewsBusters for more.] In the hours after a mass shooting by a Bernie Sanders-supporting, anti-Trump individual, CBS’s live coverage on Wednesday strangely cited the Hillary Clinton “lock her up” chant during a discussion on political violence. A few minutes after reading a litany of James T. Hodgkinson’s social media rants, Charlie Rose shifted, “Clearly we saw that during a campaign.” He continued, “People talk about things like, you know, ‘lock her up' and we saw some of the most crude political language that we heard, even though there is a long history of political attacks in the American politics since the Founding Fathers.”
