Johnson accuses CBS of 'selectively editing' his interview, new blow amid '60 Minutes' controversy | 15 Oct 2024 | House Speaker Mike Johnson on Monday accused CBS News of cutting critical parts of his answers during a Sunday appearance on Face the Nation, as part of an effort to "undermine Republicans." The criticism comes after multiple Republican politicians urged the network to release the full unedited transcripts of Kamala Harris's appearance on 60 Minutes last week, after the Harris's answer in a clip promoting the interview differed from the answer in the full interview that aired. Johnson claimed that the network "selectively edited" portions of his responses related to the federal response to Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, the SAVE Act, and Virginia GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin's efforts to remove non-citizens from voter rolls. "CBS has been under fire for selectively editing their interviews to PROMOTE Democrats and UNDERMINE Republicans," Johnson posted to X on Monday. "Yesterday, they chose to cut FIVE important minutes out of my nearly 15 minute interview. You can be the judge as to why."
