On Tuesday, CBS Mornings and NBC’s Today continued to show disgust with how former President Trump’s reacted to the second assassination attempt on his life in as many months, calling on him (and not the left or themselves, for that matter) to ease “heightened tensions” and “calm things down” instead of espousing “growing anger”. In the latter’s case, they even lumped in Trump’s family and loved ones being angry at having nearly lost the former President with divisive rhetoric.

Immediately after anti-Trump correspondent and author Robert Costa shared that “Trump family members and friends and advisers – they’re angry and wonder if Trump is safe,” CBS co-host and former NFL player Nate Burleson tied this genuine reaction anyone would have someone they cared about was nearly killed to a toxic political climate.
