Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., turned the tables on NCS on Monday when host Kate Bolduan accused President Donald Trump of refusing to deliver down the political temperature after the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Burchett informed NCS to “look within” if it was questioning how to tone down the political rhetoric after Kirk’s loss of life. The lawmaker’s feedback appeared to offend Bolduan.
“Well ma’am, I’m not attacking you, I’m just letting you know that you all need to look within at NCS if you want to continue down this path,” Burchett informed Bolduan, who smirked and shook her head on the accusation.

Bolduan started by asserting that each conservatives and liberals share accountability to decrease the depth of their political rhetoric and urged Trump to do the identical.
She performed a clip of the president blaming left-wing political rhetoric for Kirk’s murder and instructed he was fanning the flames.
Trump, who has survived two assassination makes an attempt, denied that violent political rhetoric is an issue on the best.
“The problem we have is on the left,” he told reporters over the weekend.

“It should be expected to start from a President of the United States to move forward and bring that temperature down. If he is not going to, what do you do with it? What do you do about it?” the host requested Burchett.
The lawmaker replied by declaring her community is liable for intense political rhetoric.
“Well, what do you all do with it? You keep putting it out. If you all truly wanted this to change in the media, at NCS and other places, your editorial board would say, ‘We‘re not going to, we‘re not going to put this stuff out.’ But yet you continue to put it out and that continues to stir the base,” he mentioned.
Bolduan rejected Burchett’s level.
“No, no, no, no, I’m creating a conversation, and I take pride in the fact that we do bring the temperature down on this program, and I’m definitely redoubling efforts to do that now by playing the words of the president in order to bring about conversation with an elected member of Congress,” Bolduan mentioned.
“That‘s not trying to stir, that‘s trying to have conversation, and that‘s trying to ask you what you thought about it, rather than have you come back and attack me about it,” she added.

“If you all truly had some objective reporting, instead of constantly attacking conservatives and Republicans, then there would be a change, I think,” Burchett mentioned. “But there‘s not going to be a change. You all don‘t want to change down deep. Maybe you do, ma‘am, but I dare say that the vast majority of your colleagues do not.”
Bolduan accused Burchett of constructing generalizations about her and her community.
