From Fox News: Former President Trump took aim at CBS News over the ongoing controversy involving “60 Minutes” editing comments made by Vice President Kamala Harris for its primetime election special.

“A giant Fake News Scam by CBS & 60 Minutes,” Trump wrote Thursday on Truth Social. “Her REAL ANSWER WAS CRAZY, OR DUMB, so they actually REPLACED it with another answer in order to save her or, at least, make her look better. A FAKE NEWS SCAM, which is totally illegal.”

“TAKE AWAY THE CBS LICENSE,” he continued. “Election Interference. She is a Moron, and the Fake News Media wants to hide that fact. An UNPRECEDENTED SCANDAL!!! The Dems got them to do this and should be forced to concede the Election? WOW!”

Trump also posted the statement on X, and shared video footage of both Harris’ unedited response, and then the very different edited version.

In the 60 Minutes interview, host Bill Whitaker asked Harris why it seemed like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasn’t listening to the United States.

In the first version that aired, Harris had stammered out the following response: “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, in the second version that aired, the response Harris gave was something entirely different: “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.”

It has been alleged that the second response was cut from a completely different part of the interview.

In another post Thursday evening, Trump wrote, “60 Minutes is a major part of the News Organization of CBS, which has just created the Greatest Fraud in Broadcast History. 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!”

Trump further blasted CBS News on his Truth Social page:

The fraud committed by 60 Minutes and CBS, together with the Democrat Party, is the single Biggest Scandal in Broadcast History!

CBS and 60 Minutes, working with the Democrats, probably did the same thing with the Crooked Joe Biden interviews as they did for Kamala – Changed his answers so that he looked intelligent, which he is not. With me they probably edit my answers to make me look as bad as possible. I have always felt that, but now, with the Kamala Scandal, the worst and most blatant in the history of broadcasting, we have the PROOF that 60 Minutes, and CBS, play DIRTY. Real Creeps!
