Former NFL wide receiver and current co-host of CBS Mornings Nate Burleson fumbled the ball on Thursday as he and his colleagues welcomed former GOP Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy to the set to react to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. After the murder of a conservative activist, Burleson first got in a dig at Kirk’s politics while insisting that he wasn’t interested in doing that before asking McCarthy if “your party” needs to tone down the rhetoric.
Burleson began, “Mr. Speaker, I want to get back to you. And as Tony mentioned, not everyone took to his words or his rhetoric. You know, at times they were offensive to specific communities. But with that said, this is not the time to focus on that, we are focused on this tragedy.”
Somebody seems focused on it.
