into an abyss of violent rhetoric which, it should be no surprise, has led to violence. yesterday was not the first time. in december last year, a many manwith an assault rifle stormed into a washington-area pizzeria to free child sex slaves whom hillary clinton was holding there-- or at least that's what political blog sites had said. he fired into a locked door to discover no children in chains. bernie sanders has called the president the most dangerous in history. and the shoot or yesterday was a sanders volunteer. you might think that no sane person would act on political hate speech, and you'd be right. the trouble is, there are a lot of americans who struggle with mental illness. in february, the president tweeted that the news media were the "enemy of the american

people." later, at a lunch for reporters, president trump was asked whether he worried that that language would incite violence. his pause indicated it had never crossed his mind. and then he said, "no, that doesn't worry me." as children, we're taught words will never hurt me, but when you think about it, violence almost always begins with words. in twitter world, we've come to believe that our first thought is our best thought. it's past time for all of us-- presidents, politicians, reporters, citizens-- all of us-- to pause, to think again. and that's the cbs evening news for tonight. join us here tomorrow when we will report from syria. for all of us at cbs news all around the world, good night. captioning sponsored by cbs captioned by media access group at wgbh acce
