Kamala is just trying to gaslight Trump now.
In a recent interview, Vice President Kamala Harris took aim at former President Donald Trump for his decision not to participate in a traditional “60 Minutes” interview ahead of the election. “His staff won’t allow him to do a ‘60 Minutes’ interview,” Harris stated during a conversation with progressive journalist Roland Martin. She pointed out that every presidential candidate over the past fifty years has engaged in this staple of American political media, with Trump being the sole exception.
This criticism comes at a time when CBS News itself faces scrutiny for its editing practices regarding Harris’s recent “60 Minutes” appearance. Viewers noticed inconsistencies in her responses to questions about Israel, leading to questions about the network’s transparency. Harris argued that Trump’s refusal to debate or release his medical records raises concerns about his fitness for office. “Why is his staff keeping him from being transparent? Perhaps it’s because they believe he’s not ready to handle the pressures of the presidency,” she suggested.
Harris also claimed that the upcoming election presents a stark choice for voters, yet she has faced backlash for avoiding certain interviews, including requests from TIME Magazine’s owner. The criticism highlights a broader trend of perceived avoidance by Democratic leaders when faced with tough questions.
In response to Harris’s comments, the Trump campaign has demanded that CBS release the full, unedited transcript of her interview. They accused the network of downplaying her “word salad” responses, suggesting that the editing was intended to obscure her lack of clarity. As the election approaches, these controversies underscore the intense scrutiny both parties face regarding transparency and accountability in the political arena. Voters deserve to know the truth, and it is essential for all candidates to engage openly with the media and the public.
