[See NewsBusters for more.] Two days after a Bernie Sanders-supporting, Republican-hating gunman attempted to slaughter GOP members of Congress, CBS This Morning’s Gayle King on Friday asked Elizabeth Warren if “both sides” were responsible for the heated climate. The co-hosts also failed to press the liberal Democrat on some of her angry rants. Speaking of the anti-Republican shooting, King offered this even-handed assessment: “There was so much acrimony in this country and so much hatred.” She wondered, “Do you think the dialogue we're having needs to be toned town on both sides? Do you think that contributed to the shooting that happened the other day?"
