VP Harris provides two different answers to the same question on '60 Minutes'.
The Trump campaign has requested that CBS release the full interview without any edits.
On Monday, CBS aired two different responses to the same question during its "60 Minutes" interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, replacing a clip from the Democratic nominee that had been shown on "Face the Nation" on Sunday when the interview segment was broadcast as a primetime special.
On Sunday's "Face the Nation," footage of Harris giving a lengthy "word salad" was aired by CBS, prompting mockery from conservatives. However, her answer was not included in the version that aired on Monday night's "60 Minutes," and a shorter, more focused answer was shown instead.
"Bill, the work we have done has led to several movements in that region by Israel, which were greatly influenced by our advocacy for what needs to be done in the region," Harris said in the "Face the Nation" version.
On Monday night, when CBS aired the interview, Harris gave a different response to the same question.
Harris stated that the United States will not cease its efforts to clarify its stance on ending the war, regardless of the obstacles.
Despite the confusion, CBS has made both clips available on YouTube. CBS News declined to provide a comment on the matter.
On Tuesday, the Trump campaign demanded that CBS release the entire interview without any edits.
"On Monday evening, 60 Minutes aired Kamala's sit-down interview with one of her worst word salads to date, which received significant criticism on social media. However, the word salad was deceptively edited to lessen Kamala's idiotic response, according to Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt. Leavitt questioned why 60 Minutes chose not to air Kamala's full word salad and what else they chose not to air. She called upon 60 Minutes and CBS to release the full, unedited transcript from Kamala's sit-down interview. Leavitt demanded to know what Kamala and 60 Minutes had to hide."
