Charlie Rose and Norah O'Donnell questioned Republican Senator Marco Rubio on the 10 June 2014 edition of CBS This Morning over the increase in the number of children illegally entering the U.S., and whether immigration reform is going to be revived in Congress. Rose spotlighted that Rubio received "some political pushback" on the immigration issue, and wondered, "When will we see thorough immigration reform?"

The PBS veteran also noted that the Florida politician is "a leading critic of the V.A. health system," but oddly didn't ask a question about the ongoing scandal. Instead, he ran to Hillary Clinton's defense on the extent of her responsibility for the security lapses leading up the September 11, 2012 Islamist attack on the U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya:

CHARLIE ROSE: Well, she [Clinton] has apologized because she said it happened on her watch. I mean, do you hold her personally responsible for the security failure that you cite?
