Rep. Tom Emmer calls out media hypocrisy on political violence in Face the Nation interview
Fox News
Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn., roasted a CBS news host for hypocrisy during a contentious interview after she tried to call out Republican rhetoric for inspiring violence.
"I want to ask you about this when it comes to political violence," Brennan began. "On your Twitter feed you posted this video we’re going to show just a few days ago where you’re firing a gun and it says, ‘Enjoyed exercising my Second Amendment rights, #firepelosi.’ Why is there a gun in a political ad at all?" She later followed up by asking, "Wouldn’t a pink slip be more fitting if it’s about firing her?" Alexander Hall is an associate editor for Fox News Digital.

Emmer turned the tables on the CBS host by asking why media figures don’t seem to try to blame Democrats' rhetoric for far-left violence.
