The response from the Democratic candidate differed between the preview and the actual broadcast.
The CBS program ‘60 Minutes’ aired two distinct responses from U.S. Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee, Kamala Harris, regarding a question posed by interviewer Bill Whitaker about whether she believed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was ignoring the U.S. during escalating tensions in the Middle East.
In the preview segment shown on Sunday as part of the ‘Face the Nation’ program, Harris replied:
“Well Bill, 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.”
However, when the full ‘60 Minutes’ episode aired on Monday, her response had been altered to a more succinct version:
“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.”
Following the airing, the campaign of former U.S. president and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump called on CBS and the producers of ‘60 Minutes’ to release the entire interview with Harris.
“On Sunday, 60 Minutes teased Kamala’s highly-anticipated sit-down interview with one of her worst 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,” said Karoline Leavitt, national spokesperson for the Trump campaign.
"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... What do they, and Kamala, have to hide?” Leavitt questioned.
In response, Harris’s campaign stated it had no involvement in the modifications made to her interview. “We do not control CBS’s production decisions and refer questions to CBS,” a campaign aide told various media outlets, including Fox News and Variety.
On Thursday, Trump took to his Truth Social platform, accusing ‘60 Minutes’ of replacing Harris’ answer to “make her look better” and calling CBS a “giant Fake News Scam.”
“CBS should lose its license, and it should be bid out to the Highest Bidder, as should all other Broadcast Licenses, because they are just as corrupt as CBS – and maybe even WORSE!” he added.
