On Sunday's broadcast of CBS's "Face the Nation," host Margaret Brennan said that her statement that 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump's statement in the wake of the assassination attempt against him contained "no call for lowering the temperature, condemning all political violence, and really trying to signal to his supporters, as well, not to retaliate or to have any kind of escalation here" "was not meant as a critique, but rather an observation I made in the moment of that breaking news."
