A statement from 60 Minutes

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.

Yeah, haven’t heard him calling for Fox News’ “license” to be revoked following Baier’s deceitful video clip during his Harris interview.

they received from the MAGA cult). 60 Minutes, has been on for what, like 60 years? Anybody who has ever watched the show over those 60 years already knows how things work - they edit interviews to fit the available time slots they have, but they don't remove anything of real substance.

If Trump reversed and did go on ‘60 Minutes’, they better rebroadcast the Harris segment during the same program. Giving one candidate a special segment this much closer to the election would be a problem.

Trump could, and has been, debunked a million times. As the Brits would say-They've lost the plot.

Now I am getting "Blue notifications" on my phone with a title of "CBS admits editing Kamala Harris interview..." That's all you can see of the title without clicking.

It never ends with these charlatans.

That comes pre-installed on many phones. Its annoying sometimes but I still don't want to turn it off because it does alert to many legitimate stories. It follows the same marketing tool where they give you a blip of a title and it turns out misleading many times(on purpose, I am sure). So now, millions of Red voters just saw CBS admit to editing the clip like Trump told them

While we obsess about boring things like facts and accuracy, he's treating this like a reality show not a campaign.

And worse, the voting public doesn't care either.

I'm a little jaded from knocking on doors for the last few weeks for candidates. Luckily most of them that I have canvased have been left leaning or moderate voters. But then there are the others....

The number of people for whom this is emotional is stunning. Nothing you can say, regardless of how accurate, will change their minds. It is a bit frightening.

Why don't you yourself get off the Mara Lago Couch, put down the ketchup, and go on 60 Minutes and tell them in person how you feel?
