CBS News is under fire after it emerged that the network edited out a portion of Vice President Kamala Harris’ recent interview on 60 Minutes, which many labeled as a “word salad.” The original, unedited clip featured Harris fumbling through a response about the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, but it has since been conspicuously removed from the final aired segment.
Recently, Israel has escalated its military campaign in southern Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah, while airstrikes continue in Beirut. Israeli forces raised their flag near a Lebanese village, and Israel’s Prime Minister announced the killing of Hezbollah’s new leader. In response, Hezbollah launched over 100 rockets at Haifa and Galilee and now supports ceasefire efforts.
Sunday’s interview, conducted by CBS correspondent Bill Whitaker, was supposed to showcase Harris’ foreign policy acumen, a crucial aspect as she navigates the 2024 presidential campaign. However, during the original segment, Whitaker posed a question regarding Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s response to U.S. diplomatic efforts in the Middle East. Harris’ answer, filled with vague statements and repetitive phrases, quickly drew criticism online.
Whitaker asked, “But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.” In response, Harris said, “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 the region… We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.”
Her answer, which some labeled as incoherent, was met with a wave of backlash on social media, with many accusing the vice president of dodging the question and failing to offer any substantial insight into the administration’s plans for resolving the conflict. However, the aired version of the interview saw this entire portion removed, replaced by a much shorter and more polished response from Harris.
The Trump campaign wants the full unedited interview to be released.
The campaign said, “Why did 60 Minutes choose not to air Kamala’s full word salad, and what else did they choose not to air?”
The Trump campaign called on CBS News’s 60 Minutes to release its full, unedited transcript with Vice President Kamala Harris.

“On Sunday, 60 Minutes teased Kamala’s highly-anticipated sit-down interview with one of her worst word salads to date, which received significant criticism on social media,” Karoline Leavitt, the Trump campaign’s national press secretary,” wrote in a statement. “During the full interview on Monday evening, the word salad was deceptively edited to lessen Kamala’s idiotic response.”
“Why did 60 Minutes choose not to air Kamala’s full word salad, and what else did they choose not to air?” she asked. “The American people deserve the full, unedited transcript from Kamala’s sit-down interview. We call upon 60 Minutes and CBS to release it.”
What do they, and Kamala, have to hide?” Leavitt questioned.
