Trump Campaign Demands ’60 Minutes’ Release Full Kamala Interview After Network Caught ‘Deceptively Editing’ Her Remarks

"Why did 60 Minutes choose not to air Kamala's full word salad, and what else did they choose not to air? The American people deserve the full unedited transcript from Kamala's sit-down interview," says campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt.

The Trump campaign is demanding answers from CBS News over Kamala Harris’s sit-down interview with 60 Minutes after it was revealed to have “deceptively edited” her remarks.

CBS News’ Face the Nation and 60 Minutes aired two different answers by Harris to the same question.

Harris’s unedited answer aired by Face the Nation appeared to be an incoherent word salad related to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“The work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region,” she said.

Oftentimes answers are truncated or slightly edited for time, but 60 Minutes aired a completely different response by Harris.

“We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end,” she said.

The Trump campaign put out a statement Tuesday demanding the network release the full transcript of Harris’s interview.

“On Sunday, 60 Minutes teased Kamala’s highly-anticipated sit-down interview with one of her worse word salads to date, which received significant criticism on social media. During the full interview on Monday evening, the word salad was deceptively edited to lessen Kamala’s idiotic response,” Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated.

“Why did 60 Minutes choose not to air Kamala’s full word salad, and what else did they choose not to air? The American people deserve the full unedited transcript from Kamala’s sit-down interview. We call upon 60 Minutes and CBS to release it. What do they, and Kamala, have to hide?”

Trump himself elaborated on the unfolding scandal on Truth Social, calling CBS’s deceptive edits of Harris’s interview a possible campaign finance violation.

I’ve never seen this before, but the producers of 60 Minutes sliced and diced (“cut and pasted”) Lyin’ Kamala’s answers to questions, which were virtually incoherent, over and over again, some by as many as four times in a single sentence or thought, all in an effort, possibly illegal as part of the “News Division,” which must be licensed, to make her look “more Presidential,” or a least, better. It may also be a major Campaign Finance Violation. This is a stain on the reputation of 60 Minutes that is not recoverable – It will always remain with this once storied brand. I have never heard of such a thing being done in “News.” It is the very definition of FAKE NEWS! The public is owed a MAJOR AND IMMEDIATE APOLOGY! This is an open and shut case, and must be investigated, starting today!

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) likewise slammed CBS for misleading its viewers and noted that Harris’s incoherent answer is further evidence she’s “dangerously unprepared” to serve as president.

CBS has not explained why it aired two different answers to the same question, but the outlet has posted both clips on YouTube.
