You are pathetic. Your “reporter” asked if this is the time for the GOP to reflect on THEIR political violence? It’s the DEMOCRATS that should reflect not the GOP.

Nate Burleson is a POS!!! You need to fire him and any there that didn't call him out right that moment!

Shame on you, @CBSMornings! How dare you make this political. Trump needs to have FCC strip your license. You are now blocked on our TVs in our hospital per an unanimous vote.

Rhetoric? You motherfuckers aren't really big on self awareness, just want to accuse others of the violence that YOU support. Charlie was not a divisive figure, he wanted a conversation and got a bullet for his trouble.

#FireNateBurleson now!! Charlie’s message was not “rhetoric”, but fact! Nate Burleson‘s comments were highly insensitive and biased. He is part of the problem. @nateburleson

Fire @nateburleson. What he said was akin to asking a parent after their daughter was raped if they were going to talk to her about not wearing short skirts anymore.

Your viewership has already tanked, and your boy Nate is making things even worse. You need to find a new cohost, CBS.

Burleson dancing around his opinion that Charlie deserved this, based on which party he represented, is disgusting. CBS should be horrified, but we all know you're with Nate on this. Sickening.

The NFL dude @nateburleson fits right in at CBS where the problem evidently is people ( Trump ) saying truthful things that might offend crazy people with guns. Tell him to stick to football or brush up on the First Amendment

I truly don't think the staff at @CBSMornings actually listened to @charliekirk11. The version they think of him was not who he was. He was a peacemaker.

Bullshit he was a white supremacist who was making a fortune from it

LaVerne1 year ago

Stop with the bs! Kirk was not trying to bring nation together. He was a racist white supremacist that hated people of color. He pushed separatism. He was not assassinated. Just killed. Now let’s just move on.

vhaight1 year ago

I will be honest, I don't watch your show and I try hard not to even turn into CBS because your bias is evident. When I saw the snippet on X from this morning I was repulsed and have to say look in the mirror, your the one with the national voice, you tone down your bias and rhetoric.

Nate Burleson should be fired immediately!

Garbage fucking network with racebaiter and vile human being Nate Burleson.

CBS Morning host Nate Burleson lectures Republicans to moderate their language and accept responsibility for Charlie’s death. CBS Host Nate needs a big cup of STFU. You are a disgrace to all Americans.

Nate is a fucking loser! He should be fired for these comments!

JUST IN: Matt Gaetz calls Kevin McCarthy a “feature of the swamp” after reporter tells Gaetz that people think he is a narcissist. “It's the benefit of this country that we have a better Speaker of the House than Kevin McCarthy.” “Kevin McCarthy couldn't keep his word. He made an agreement in January regarding the way Washington would work, and he violated that agreement. We are $33 trillion in debt. We are facing $2.2 trillion annual deficits.” “We face a de-dollarization globally that will crush Americans working class Americans. Kevin McCarthy is a feature of the swamp. He has risen to power by collecting special interest money and redistributing that money in exchange for favors.”

Are the Republicans who voted to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy "traitors?" Newt Gingrich, on Fox News says: "96% of Republicans voted for McCarthy. 4% voted against him. From my position as a longtime republican activist, they are traitors. All eight of them should, in fact, be primaried. They should all be driven out of public life. What they did was go to the other team to cause utter chaos." Is he right, or is he just part of the problem.

.Kevin McCarthy is going to get his wish. I’m going to file a motion to vacate against him this week. If at this time next week Kevin McCarthy is still Speaker of the House, it will be because the Democrats bailed him out. He can be their Speaker, not mine.

“I protested outside the BBC because Charlie Kirk was NOT far right - he was a moderate conservative who genuinely cared about the people he disagreed with.” “Imagine never setting foot in the UK, being told you have to pay for a state broadcaster and that you’ll go to JAIL if you don’t. You’d think we were in North Korea!” Kevin O'Sullivan | @YoungBobTPUK

Absolutely ghoulish behavior from CBS Mornings' Nate Burleson. A conservative activist gets assassinated and Burleson asks former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R) if it's time for "your party to reflect on political violence, is it a moment for us to think about the responsibility of our political leaders and their voices and what it does to the masses as they get lost in misinformation or disinformation that turns in and spills in to political violence?"

Charlie Kirk talks about his friend Candace Owens and how he was instantly blown away by her powerful speaking ability. “Candace is the best” Charlie talks about the first time he met Candace and immediately offered her a job after hearing her speak: “I basically said if we work together for a couple years you’re gonna be the biggest thing in the conservative movement. I’ve never seen talent like this.”

🚨BREAKING: Matt Gaetz Moves to Remove Kevin McCarthy as Speaker McCarthy worked with the Democrats over the weekend to pass a vote to prevent a government shutdown. This bipartisanship triggered Gaetz to stand on the house floor today, officially calling for the process to remove him. Now McCarthy, facing a challenge that only two other House Speakers have faced IN HISTORY, must call a vote within two days to see if he has to vacate his seat. I can't believe an act of bipartisanship triggered this vote. We NEED government officials on BOTH SIDES working together to solve the country's problems. Politicians need to learn to put country over party. Do you think McCarthy should be voted out?

Good to remember.. Charlie Kirk: “You know that you are part of the most exciting, diverse, powerful movement in the history of this country. And this movement is not about Republican or Democrat. This movement is not about Conservative or Liberal. This movement is about the citizens versus the oligarchs. This movement is about We The People versus the ruling class. This movement is about America versus the globalist. This movement is about all of us against them.” Never forget what they took from us 🙏🏼

⚜️👏🇨🇦🤡 : CPC MP Gabriel Hardy gets a standing ovation from Conservative MPs after he says Liberals don't respect the Québécois nation. 🌹 This is the same Conservative party that opposes Alberta independence. ⚜️ This is the same Conservative party that recognized Quebec as a Nation inside Canada, on November 22, 2006. 🦅 From First Nations to the Québécois nation, we keep being reminded, we are not an equal society, by all Federal parties. No wonder why so many in Alberta are fed up. I am too. 🤡 Canada is becoming a gong show of hypocrisy.

Kevin McCarthy says that Matt Gartz should be voted out of office and prosecuted: “You can’t sleep with underage women and think you can get away with it.” Also Kevin McCarthy: we must elect Trump for president—an adjudicated rapist who was credibly accused of rape and sexual assault by 26 women. A man who bragged on tape how he assaulted women. McCarthy doesn't really care about sexual assault. He is just trying to get revenge on Matt Gaetz for voting to remove him from Speakership.
