[FoxNews] CBS News is accused of editing Vice President Kamala Harris' 'word salad' answer on Israel.
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 further slammed the liberal network during a speech later in the day to the Detroit Economic Club.
"The other big news is the fraud committed by ‘60 Minutes’ and CBS together with the Democrat Party, working together with them, which will go down as the single biggest scandal in broadcast history, I predict," Trump said.
FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel released a statement denouncing Trump's call to revoke CBS' broadcasting license.
| But while waxing indignant she is again bringing the public’s attention to the fact that VP Kamala Harris cannot give a coherent answer to a simple question — and what exactly does she think about Israel, again? This is President Trump’s genius, that in loudly denouncing how he said that horrid thing he said, the denouncers shine a spotlight on the subject they had so hoped to avoid. |
"While repeated attacks against broadcast stations by the former President may now be familiar, these threats against free speech are serious and should not be ignored," Rosenworcel wrote. "As I’ve said before, the First Amendment is a cornerstone of our democracy. The FCC does not and will not revoke licenses for broadcast stations simply because a political candidate disagrees with or dislikes content or coverage."
CBS News did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
