In the wake of the Las Vegas massacre, CBS This Morning’s Norah O’Donnell jumped on un-aired footage of her October 1st 60 Minutes interview with another shooting survivor, Congressman Steve Scalise. Declaring it timely, the co-host on Tuesday introduced her push for gun control: “The shooting here is reigniting calls to debate the nation's gun laws. Before the massacre, we spoke with Republican Congressman Steve Scalise about gun control.”

Stating the obvious, she told him, “You're now a victim of gun violence.” In case her audience didn’t get the point of all this, O’Donnell clarified, “The reason we played part of that discussion is because being a victim of gun violence does it change the debate now on Capitol Hill in Congress? Will they look at policy solutions?” In other words, why don’t you support gun control now, Mr. Scalise?

During the 60 Minutes interview on Sunday and the footage of the interview aired on other days, two words never came up: Bernie Sanders. Imagine if a crazed Donald Trump supporter had attempted to murder a liberal politician.

In the nearly 23 minutes of the combined interviews (on Sunday and Monday, plus previews on Thursday and Friday), this was the only mention of the shooter’s left-wing motives:

NORAH O’DONNELL: The shooter was 66-year-old James Hodgkinson. According to the FBI, he'd posted anti-Republican views on social media and had a piece of paper that contained the names of six members of Congress. We've learned they were all conservative Republicans. Scalise was not on the list, but two of his teammates were. Do you believe you were targeted as a Republican?

Talk about an obvious question: “Do you believe you were targeted as a Republican?” Yes. As noted earlier, no mention at all of Sanders.
