During a report on Wednesday’s CBS This Morning about White House reaction to the terrorist attack in Istanbul, correspondent Margaret Brennan lamented the violence was taking attention away from President Obama’s effort to push his left-wing agenda at an international summit: “...this is the third time in the past year that a major summit is being overshadowed by terrorism.”

Brennan touted: “Here in Ottawa, Mexico, Canada, and President Obama representing the U.S., were all supposed to sit down and tackle tough climate change issues, including a pledge to switch to renewable clean energy.” She added: “And tackle immigration issues. Of course, all of the talk of the 2016 campaign and building walls, cutting off some of that passage with Mexico, has been very controversial.”
