Former US president, Donald Trump said on Thursday that CBS News should lose a broadcasting license over how it edited a "60 Minutes" interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, even though the federal government does not issue licenses for such television networks.
Trump's push came after CBS aired Harris's interview with "60 Minutes," which came after he backed out of sitting for his own interview with the show, according to the network.
Since Harris's interview aired Monday night, Trump has focused on how it featured a shorter version of Harris's answer to a question about Israel than was shown in a clip previewing the interview.
"Her REAL ANSWER WAS CRAZY, OR DUMB, so they actually REPLACED it with another answer in order to save her or, at least, make her look better," Trump claimed in a post on his social media platform Thursday morning.
"A FAKE NEWS SCAM, which is totally illegal. TAKE AWAY THE CBS LICENSE."
Trump went on to accuse Democrats of making CBS "do this," calling it "Election Interference" and saying the party should be forced to concede the election.
Trump raised the issue again during a Thursday afternoon speech in Detroit, claiming the edited Harris interview "will go down as the single biggest scandal in broadcast history."
