The 10 October 2016 edition of CBS This Morning hounded Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway over the second presidential debate. Norah O'Donnell wondered "what was the point" of spotlighting several of Bill Clinton's sexual abuse accusers just before the debate. Gayle King played up how the billionaire "seemed to throw...[Mike] Pence under the bus last night." Almost an hour earlier, O'Donnell and King, along with Charlie Rose, went much lighter on Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook. King asked Mook, "They're calling it the ugliest, nastiest debate ever. Did it feel that way to you watching it?"
