The spotlight is shining on the Left’s lies. And there’s nothing they can do to stop it.
Now a bombshell unedited video of Kamala Harris proved what everyone suspected.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on Wednesday released the full, unedited version of former Vice President Kamala Harris’s pre-election 60 Minutes interview, following growing public concern that the program had deceptively edited her responses to make her appear more competent.
President Donald Trump’s FCC had previously ordered CBS News to provide the raw transcript after a complaint from the Center for American Rights alleged that the network violated the agency’s “news distortion” policy. After the FCC’s inquiry, the full, unedited transcript and video were made public — something 60 Minutes had previously refused to do.
“We are posting the same transcripts and videos of our interview with Vice President Kamala Harris that we provided to the FCC,” 60 Minutes stated on its website. “They show – consistent with 60 Minutes’ repeated assurances to the public – that the 60 Minutes broadcast was not doctored or deceitful.”
The controversy centers on a particular exchange in which 60 Minutes correspondent Bill Whitaker challenged Harris on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s apparent defiance of the Biden administration.
“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,” Harris said in the October 2024 interview.
That rambling response was included in a preview clip aired on Face the Nation the day before the full 60 Minutes special. However, when the segment aired in primetime, her statement had been significantly trimmed.
“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,” Harris said in the edited version aired to millions of viewers.
The altered clip conveniently omitted Harris’s meandering remarks, which had been widely mocked by conservatives as yet another example of her infamous “word salad” style of speaking. Instead, viewers were presented with a more coherent and forceful response.
A similar edit was made when Harris was asked whether, as president, she would support Ukraine joining NATO.
“Those are all issues that we will deal with if and when it arrives at that point. Right now, we are supporting Ukraine’s ability to defend itself against Russia’s unprovoked aggression,” Harris said in the aired version.
However, the unedited transcript revealed that her full response continued beyond that point:
“And doing what we can to continue to build and strengthen the alliance around the support for Ukraine’s right to be an independent nation, free from having its borders forcefully taken by Russia,” the original transcript reads. “And we are going to continue to work closely with our NATO allies to continue to reinforce America’s alliance in the context of NATO.”
The release of the full interview transcript and footage comes after Trump sued CBS for engaging in “partisan and unlawful acts of election and voter interference through malicious, deceptive, and substantial news distortion.” The lawsuit, filed just five days before the election, seeks $10 billion in damages, arguing that CBS deliberately altered Harris’s interview to make her appear more polished and decisive than she actually was.
Despite the mounting evidence, 60 Minutes continues to defend its actions.
“In reporting the news, journalists regularly edit interviews – for time, space or clarity,” the program insisted. “In making these edits, 60 Minutes is always guided by the truth and what we believe will be most informative to the viewing public – all while working within the constraints of broadcast television.”
However, CBS’s parent company, Paramount Global, may be looking to put the controversy behind them. The media giant, currently seeking a merger with Skydance Media, has reportedly been in discussions with Trump’s legal team about a possible settlement, fearing that Trump’s FCC could use its regulatory power to complicate the merger.
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr confirmed that the agency received the full, unredacted interview materials from CBS and determined that releasing them was in the public’s interest.

My goodness.
CBS was just forced to release the FULL Kamala Harris interview that they butchered and severely edited to make her sound like she had a functional brain stem.
She does not. We dodged a bullet.
Kamala is retarded.
