CBS 'Cast Its Lot With Trump,' Critics Say After Margaret Brennan Grills Democrat for 'Rigged Elections' Talk Video
“Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan has come under scrutiny for fierce questions about redistricting and gerrymandering posed to Hakeem Jeffries on Sunday.
The exchange kicked off after Brennan asked the House minority leader about comments he’s made in which he’s accused Donald Trump of attempting to “rig” the 2026 midterm elections.
“You said, Democrats — there are no election deniers on our side of the aisle, you said that back in January,” Brennan began. “But recently, you’ve been using the term ‘rigged elections’ in reference to the upcoming midterms. Democrats were appalled when President Trump used language like that. How do you justify using that now?”
