CBS anchor Margaret Brennan clarified her initial comments that former President Trump did not call for “lowering the temperature“ after being shot at a campaign event.
CBS „Face the Nation“ host Margaret Brennan addressed her comments chiding former President Trump for not „lowering the temperature“ with a statement he issued following an assassination attempt against him on Saturday.
„Our country has been living in a heightened threat environment for some time now. Yesterday’s assassination attempt against Mr. Trump confirmed our greatest fears. Last night, we reported on inflammatory statements made by some of our elected or political leaders and some of those who had called for calm“, the anchor began.
„Mr. Trump issued a statement after his traumatic experience, and I noted that his statement did not include a call to lower the temperature. It was not meant as a critique, but rather an observation I made in the moment of that breaking news“, Brennan continued.
