CBS host clarifies her Trump comments after assassination attempt: Not 'critique,' just 'observation'
Fox News
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.
"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. Lindsay Kornick is an associate editor for Fox News Digital.

She concluded, "Today, he said, that, ‘In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand united’ so, in that spirit, let’s all hope for a safe campaign for all of those involved. And the former president and his family deserve our empathy after what happened. I wish him and his family the best as he recovers from the attempt on his life."
