NEW CIVILITY WATCH: CNN Chyron: ‘Biden to Eviscerate Trump Today in Iowa Speech.’

CNN’s New Day previewed an advance copy of a stump speech that  Joe Biden plans to give during a campaign visit today in Iowa later on Tuesday, and according to the on-screen chyron, the former Vice President will “eviscerate” President Donald Trump.
