During their Tuesday night broadcast of Evening News CBS directed the blame for the Orlando terrorist attack towards American Christians, even though it was carried out by a pledged member of the Islamic State. To ease into the Christian bashing host Scott Pelley stated, “There has been so much progress for the LGBT Community, but we are now reminded that fear is still a constant reality.”

As the center piece of her report CBS’s Mireya Villarreal brought on Lorri Jean the CEO of the LGBT Center in Los Angeles. In the report Villarreal showed Jean letting loose on her political opponents:

Politicians who slander LGBT people, who say we should be driven out of public life, that we're not fit to raise children, that we are a threat to the moral fabric of our society-- that kind of rhetoric promotes kind of violence that happened yesterday.

Villarreal followed up Jean by showing her own evidence, “The hate has been perpetuated through social media with tweets and videos like this one posted by a Christian pastor in California.” A video played of Baptist pastor Roger Jimenez of Sacramento saying Orlando is now safer and, “The tragedy is that more of them didn't die.”
