Democratic presidential nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris recently sat down for an interview with CBS’s 60 Minutes to respond to a range of questions, including questions about Israel’s war against Hamas and the U.S. relationship to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. CBS edited the full 45-minute interview down to a 20-minute segment, a typical length for the 60 Minutes program, and previewed part of the full interview in an earlier program.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump claimed that there were significant discrepancies between Harris’s responses in the earlier preview clip and the final 20-minute cut that aired on 60 Minutes.

The following is an excerpt from the above video:
Some television networks and newspapers are going to great lengths to prop up Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign. This raises serious questions about journalistic ethics and election interference. The most serious example is a CBS “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris. CBS promoted the interview with a clip from Harris answering a question from journalist Bill Whitaker. Well, Whitaker asked whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was listening to the Biden-Harris administration’s demands for Israel to show more military restraint.
Harris responded: “…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 that region.”
Her word salad answer to that question is not the one that aired when the interview was broadcast on “60 Minutes.” Instead, a more succinct response was edited and pasted.
