Since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee, Kamala Harris has avoided the media as much as she possibly can. Many would argue that this is because throughout her sham of a political career, Harris has frequently embarrassed herself by flubbing her words when asked questions by reporters.
That’s why many were excited when Harris agreed to sit down with 60 Minutes on Monday night. Indeed, Independent voters hoped that they would finally get an unbiased take on Harris and the policies she has planned for America.
Sadly, it has since come to light that 60 Minutes spliced and diced the interview with Harris in a desperate attempt to look like a better candidate. In the wake of this, her opponent, Donald Trump, is calling on 60 Minutes to release an unedited transcript of their conversation with Harris.
From Breitbart News:
“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,” Karoline Leavitt, the Trump campaign’s national press secretary,” wrote in a statement. “During the full interview on Monday evening, the word salad was deceptively edited to lessen Kamala’s idiotic response.”“Why did 60 Minutes choose not to air Kamala’s full word salad, and what else did they choose not to air?” she asked. “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?”

The Mainstream Media Has Been Fawning Over Harris
This is a prime example of how the mainstream media has been working overtime to falsely portray Harris as a viable presidential candidate. Until just a few months ago, Harris was polling as one of the least popular vice presidents of all time. Even many left-wing media pundits could not deny that she is a truly incompetent politician.
That all changed when Joe Biden dropped out of the race. Within hours, the Democrat establishment had anointed Harris as Biden’s replacement without giving their own voters a say. The mainstream media immediately fell in line, and they’ve been effectively worshipping Harris ever since.
Meanwhile, the Harris campaign has seemingly gone into panic mode in the wake of this debacle.
“We do not control CBS’s production decisions and refer questions to CBS,” the Harris campaign said in a statement.
CBS News has yet to address this controversy in any way. Needless to say, it’s likely that Trump’s wishes will not be fulfilled, and that the network will never release the unedited version of this interview. If they did, Harris would undoubtedly be exposed as the incompetent politician that she is, as there would surely be many more embarrassing word salad moments on her part.
With the election just a few weeks away, Trump declined to sit down with 60 Minutes for an interview. This marked the first time since the 1960s in which both presidential candidates did not sit with 60 Minutes for an interview one month before the election.
Based on the way 60 Minutes handled their interview with Harris, it’s clear that Trump made the right decision.
Key Takeaways:
- Trump is demanding that CBS release the unedited version of Harris’s 60 Minutes interview.
- This comes after CBS was caught editing their Harris interview in her favor.
- This shows just how devoted the mainstream media is to Harris.
