In a fiery tirade on Thursday morning, Donald Trump escalated his attacks on CBS’s “60 Minutes,” accusing the network of orchestrating a “fake” interview with Vice President Kamala Harris and calling for Democrats to “concede the election” immediately.
Taking to Truth Social, Trump unleashed a barrage of accusations, declaring, “A giant Fake News Scam by CBS & 60 Minutes! They actually REPLACED her REAL ANSWER with something else to save her from looking crazy or dumb.” He claimed this manipulation constituted “Election Interference” and demanded, “TAKE AWAY THE CBS LICENSE! This is an UNPRECEDENTED SCANDAL!!!”Trump’s outrage was fueled by a misleading video circulating in right-wing circles, allegedly showing a stark contrast between Harris’s actual remarks on the Israel-Gaza conflict and the edited version aired by CBS. He labeled Harris a “Moron,” asserting that the “Fake News Media” is desperate to conceal her incompetence.This latest outburst follows Trump’s threats against CBS and other major networks like NBC and ABC, promising retaliation if he regains the presidency in 2024. His relentless criticism of the media for biased reporting has reached new heights, as he previously suggested that fact-checkers should face jail time. Trump’s incendiary rhetoric continues to raise alarms about the integrity of our democratic processes.
