“60 Minutes” has blasted back at Donald Trump over accusations it edited Kamala Harris’s interview two weeks ago.
Trump has accused CBS of editing the interview to make Harris look good. He’s threatened to sue the network or shut it down if he is elected next month.
CBS and the show respond: “That is false.”
See their statement below. Blowhard Trump, the ball is now in your court.
Here’s the statement:
“Former President Donald Trump is accusing 60 Minutes of deceitful editing of our Oct. 7 interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. That is false.
60 Minutes gave an excerpt of our interview to Face the Nation that used a longer section of her answer than that on 60 Minutes. Same question. Same answer. But a different portion of the response. When we edit any interview, whether a politician, an athlete, or movie star, we strive to be clear, accurate and on point. The portion of her answer on 60 Minutes was more succinct, which allows time for other subjects in a wide ranging 21-minute-long segment.
Remember, Mr. Trump pulled out of his interview with 60 Minutes and the vice president participated.
Our long-standing invitation to former President Trump remains open. If he would like to discuss the issues facing the nation and the Harris interview, we would be happy to have him on 60 Minutes.”
