On Wednesday, the hosts of CBS This Morning seemed to do Hillary Clinton’s bidding as they used her campaign attack lines to interrogate Senator Bernie Sanders on whether he was a “viable” candidate against the former secretary of state.

Co-host Charlie Rose demanded Sanders justify his candidacy: “Hillary Clinton's campaign manager said in a memo, ‘The reality is that Sanders needed a decisive victory in Iowa in order to have a viable path to the nomination.’ They’re saying that because you did not win in Iowa, where you had a constituency that should have been for you, that you do not have a viable candidacy.”
