[See NewsBusters for more.] Though the networks on Tuesday were excited by the “dramatic” and “explosive” testimony of Sally Yates, only CBS This Morning bothered to show Ted Cruz hammering the ex-Justice Department official about the legality of Donald Trump’s travel ban. Co-host Norah O’Donnell described how the Republican called out Yates: “Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz asked Yates to explain why she thought it was okay to defy the President. He quoted the statute that gives the President authority over immigration.” Reading aloud to the woman fired by Trump, he reminded: “Whenever the President finds the entry of any alien or any class of alien in the United States would be detrimental to tint of the United States he may by proclamation and for such period as he deem necessary suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem appropriate.”
