After CBS Evening News refused to cover Hillary Clinton yelling at a Bernie Sanders supporter during a campaign event on Thursday, Friday’s CBS This Morning demanded the Vermont Senator answer charges that he was “lying” about Clinton getting donations from the fossil fuel industry.

At the top of the morning show, co-host Gayle King proclaimed: “Hillary Clinton gets fired up, accusing Bernie Sanders’ campaign of lying about her. We’ll ask Sanders to respond here in studio 57.” Minutes later, fellow co-host Charlie Rose declared: “Hillary Clinton seems to be losing patience with the Bernie Sanders campaign, frustrated by the Bernie Sanders campaign, and suggesting they are lying about her.”
