CNN anchor Kate Bolduan and Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) got into a heated debate on the network on Monday over President Trump blaming the left for an increased level of political violence and tension in America.

Bolduan played for Burchett a clip of Trump speaking to reporters over the weekend and calling "agitators" on the left "scum" and referencing flag burning, social media posts and other statements he characterized as anti-American.

"What do you do with this if the president does not want to take the lead in trying to help?" she asked Burchett.
