Why are Republicans freaking out over an old Harris '60 Minutes' interview?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

On Thursday, President Donald Trump called for “60 Minutes” to be “immediately terminated” after the network, CBS, released the unedited video and transcripts of an October interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris.

The release came in response to weeks of unfounded right-wing allegations that CBS had edited Harris’ answers in the interview that aired to aid her campaign.

“CBS and 60 Minutes defrauded the public by doing something which has never, to this extent, been seen before. They 100% removed Kamala’s horrible election changing answers to questions, and replaced them with completely different, and far better, answers, taken from another part of the interview, Trump fumed on Truth Social.

But that’s not what happened.

1. Distraction

[Voltaire2]

2. The intention is to repress any independent media.

CBS will likely bow to pressure.

3. What? Donald Trump is a liar?

Say it isn't so!

4. They have to keep blaming Democrats...

If they don’t it’ll look like them fucking up, can’t have that. So they go back to point out all the old things then add to the new things making it look worse and worse, building a house of cards.

It’s all distraction.

5. Since Trump is the king of word salads

...why would one word salad from Kamala make any difference. She was carefully wording her response to Netanyahu's moves. Big deal....not!

6. I would think even his most feverish, empty-headed supporters would be getting tired of his screeching and

howling over an election that he won.
