President Donald Trump released footage from the CBS 60 Minutes interview after White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said Stahl was acting "more like an opinion journalist."
"Look at the bias, hatred and rudeness on behalf of 60 Minutes and CBS," said the president on social media. "Tonight's anchor, Kristen Welker, is far worse! #MAGA"
The video starts with Trump saying he's looking for "fairness" during the interview, as anchor Leslie Stahl preps the president by saying she was going to ask "tough questions."
"You don't ask Biden tough questions," said the president. "It's terrible, you know that."
Stahl told the president that the revelations regarding Joe and Hunter Biden from Hunter's laptop "can't be verified."
Trump then responded by asking why not.
Stahl replied: "Because it can't be verified." (The contents of the laptop have been verified by law enforcement officials, Fox News and the New York Post.)
This exchange between Trump and Lesley Stahl is insane. She repeatedly insists the Biden laptops “can’t be verified” so reporters shouldn’t talk about it.
Trump asks her why it can’t be verified.
Her answer: “Because it can’t be verified.”
She repeatedly cited the Senate GOP Report on Biden corruption@realDonaldTrump: “Do you think it’s OK for the mayor of Moscow’s wife to give him millions?”
Lesley falsely says “no real evidence of that”
It’s in the VERY report she cites!
At one point, Trump said "“I don’t have to discredit you. You’ve discredited yourself” to Stahl.
When Trump touted his building of the "greatest economy in the history of [The United States], Stahl interrupts to tell him what he said "isn't true, to which Trump responds "You wouldn't say that to Biden, what you just said to me."
"Best unemployment numbers, best employment numbers... Highest stock market price. You wouldn't say that to Biden, what you just said to me... We had the best—everything was the best," said Trump.
The interview then goes into the ongoing health crisis, where Trump says that cases have increased solely due to the increase in testing being conducted.
Trump blames China for "allowing this plague" to go throughout the world.
"We do more testing. If we didn't do testing, cases would be way down." We do more testing than any country in the world, by far. Second is India, with 1.5 billion people. If we did half the testing, we'd have half the cases... Because we do so much testing, the fake news media loves to say cases are up."
She sure does loves the mask though, doesn’t she? The cure-all for the Chinese Cooties ... that’s the ticket!
Leslie is a good looking woman!
Love her line, the laptop cannot be verified. Just like saying, it’s settled science.
Like nails on a chalk board.
Face Towards Enemy
Give up on your irrational “javanka” hate.
Leslie suffers Trump Derangement Syndrome. She can’t think straight or be fair.
Cases, not Deaths,
Unemployment Claims, not Jobs.
Something about suburban women (we never found out), not Security.
Covid happened “on your watch.” No. Covid happened on Xi’s watch.
I watched the entire interview. Actually, I thought it was one of Trump’s best performances. Stahl was a whinny nagging hag.
I wonder if this was Trump’s plan to once again embarrass the fake news.
Ivanka is loyal to her father. While I may not agree with her on everything, she loves him dearly. There are very few people Trump can count on to have his back, but she is one of them.
She’s never really been the brightest bulb in the room. I remember her from when she was much younger with big hair. She wasn’t bright then, even less bright now.
I stopped watching ‘60 Minutes’ in 1970, after they interviewed an executive from my company. The interview was the same as what happened to President Trump. The show asked combative questions, but then afterwards “RE-RECORDED THE QUESTIONS in a non-combative way, but then they ACTUALLY REVERSED THE meme so that the answers would be taken as the opposite of what was actually meant.
I have never bothered to watch them since because they are liars.
Does he really believe that?
Trump should have said something like: “One would think that the network that invented Fake But Accurate would consider ALL facts as verified and true”.
She's married to Alan Greenspan, former Federal Reserve chairman.
That would be Andrea Mitchell, although they are hard to tell apart.
All logical people know that.
WARNING:
This comment may be taken as “mean spirited.”
Leslie looked like she was recently taken from her coffin
to do the interview. She didn’t do her homework and relied on negative replies, easy, and a must, if you don’t know shit.
No testing means no positives.
Almost all people infected are asymptomatic, so no one would even know they ever had it.
Nope.
first, criticism of Trump only, for interrupting at first debate; then Laura O’Donnell sits mute while Biden speaks. Stahl interrupts Trump twice during his first answer:
VIDEO: 3m42s: CBS 12H AGO: Presidential candidates sit down with “60 Minutes” ahead of final debate

“She’s married to Alan Greenspan, former Federal Reserve chairman.”
She and her husband have no kids and her husband is 94 years old. Most people 94 years old don’t look forward to traveling. She probably has nothing else to keep her going except her ministry of propaganda job.
should be Norah O’Donnell. I’ve never heard of her either way.
